Tea Pots, Coffee Pots, Cups and Saucers Repurposed. What fun this is!
How often do you find yourself having some extra tea pots, coffee pots, cups, and saucers that you found while thrifting. Sometimes you pick them up as lonely pieces, maybe they come from a broken set of your own, your have pieces not being used, and etc. Not to worry there is hope for them to use with your decor. Use them inside the home, or outside your home as well. Repurpose them by crafting!
Teapots are not always for everyone. Yeah, they are cute for show with settings in your home. However, there are some adorable alternatives for using them beyond your kitchens as you can see above, or if you were to search with Bing, and Google too.
You know you might also have some teapots, coffee pots, cups, saucers, and such that are just plain ugly, or have some minor imperfections. Don't throw those. You could also decorate those with maybe some adorable colored pebbles, use some rocks, find some extra twine to use or some yarn to wrap them, and so on.
As you can see above there are many ways to reuse, repurpose, and upcycle these forgotten pieces. Those shown are only a few of the neat ideas I have shared. You could also consider some lights, lamps, candle holders as shown, candle holder stands, some lovely bird feeders, and just so much more!
All of that creativity is over whelming, whew! They are so enjoyable though, aren't they? If you are like me often while thrifting, and yard saling you find many unwanted pieces being offered. They are either lonely, unwanted, have fulfilled a home and ready for a new, maybe have some minor imperfections, but you see a way to revive them by giving them a new life. Bring it home, and find something creative to do with it. Don't forget to check your own inventories as there might also be some unwanted pieces there as well.
Now, if you don't have the time, or the creative thoughts within you keep in mind there are many out there who make things like this, and sell them too. They have shops online with Ecrater, Etsy, and there are some creative people with Ebay too. If you wish to see a wide selection just use your bing search, or google it. Hit the images tab, and watch what all comes alive before your eyes.
Now the next time that you are out thrifting, and yard saling you will have a few more ideas to add to your lists of wants and needs. Find them unwanted treasures to give them a new life for your homes, or to offer to other homes as well. Have fun, enjoy, and thanks so much for sharing your time with Thrifty Shop Girl! Take care, and see you all again soon. Happy Thrifting!
Thrift Store Finds
Cupcake Dessert Stand Green Glass Pedestal Vintage Inspired
Cupcake Stand Vintage Inspired Amber Glass Pedestal Wedding Decor
Thrift Finds Repurposed Upcycled
I just love thrifting, junking, and vintage items too! The first picture above shows a few things that I had found a while ago while thrifting. A couple of the pieces in the picture were used to make the cupcake stands that you see below my thrift finds.
There are many names used in reference to such pieces. Cupcake stand, amber pedestal stand, vintage inspired, candle holder, soap dish, jewelry dish, bathroom organizer, wedding decor, home decor, and the list goes on. I enjoy creating some of these pieces as they can be versatile, but also have different uses for them. One thing I like is the idea of flipping these over using the plate as the stand, and then using the adorable glass candy dishes as a candy dish, candle holder, trinket dish, jewelry holder, maybe some floating candles, and just so many possibilities!
The 2 handmade items viewed above are listed with my LilacsNDreams ecrater shop. I would love for you to visit, see all the pictures, and the details of things. Make sure to contact Me with any specific questions that you might have.
Thanks so much for sharing your time with Thrifty Shop Girl, and hope to see you again soon. Till then my friends "Happy Thrifting"
Thrifty Monday for Thrifts Junk Vintage Repurpose, and a lil bit of this, and a lil bit of that is what makes it fun.
Hi, and Welcome to Thrifty Shop Girl! Glad to have you back, and visiting with us. I am a little bit disappointed. By now I thought I was going to be moved to some where warmer, that I can do more thrifting, junking, digging, and treasure hunting too. But...our plans didn't quite work out as we hoped, and so I am still living up North with the cold yet. Working harder to get things in order, better organized, things completed so that we can move down south. Till then I have to do what I can, right?
A while back it was kind of nice out, and I thought what the heck. I have not been to many this year with house remodeling, down sizing things, preparing to move, and etc. So, I did have 1 day where I stopped at a couple of garage sales. Unfortunately, for this small town I live by they never seem to have much at Garage sales that I can get really excited about. Prices are too high because they see it sell on ebay, or something like that so that is where they get their numbers. I cannot find use for some things being offered, many baby items that would not fit into a desirable market for them, and so on. Not trying to be mean, but sometimes I can find better deals with some of the dumpsters, and stores that are out of town than from here too.
On this one particular day I did stop at a couple of garage sales, and found some small things that I can work with a bit. I enjoy the apothecary jar I found, and all of the pearls that I found and dropped into it as well. So far it is a keeper for me. I got the 2 picture frames with an idea that I have in mind. Not sure if it will be these 2 together, but it is a start anyway.
I enjoy working with cloche glass dome cheeseboards too. I clean the glass up well, and then will paint the wood base whatever color I choose at the time. Now, once it is painted I might lay a doilie on it, get out the mod podge to add some paper or material, add some figurines or accessories to the inside of it, add some sort of decal to the glass dome, and things like that. The 2 plates you see will have something done to them soon if I can ever find some glassware, or pieces that can fit to their size, and of course have the right colors to accent everything too. But, they do look like new too. I had gotten excited because I found some great amber glass that would be perfect with the 2 plates, colors were good, like new condition, and.....they were too big. How disappointed I was too.
In the back you see the pretty pillar candle holder with a minimal floral design on it. It has a pink glass base that is nice, and sturdy too. Simple candle holder that is adorable with the candle in it, or without it too. I also got a glass candle holder that will make a cute pedestal stand to something, a sweet tea cup, and some blue napkin rings/holders that I can work with too.
Sometimes you might not come home with much after thrifting, or garage saling, but there are still possibilities for everything to be used in some way or other too.
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend, enjoyed the football games, and got all done that you wanted to do. Thanks for sharing your time with Thrifty Shop Girl, and hope to see you again soon. Take care till the next time everyone.....Toodles........
Thrift Store Finds Are Repurposed Upcycled
Hello everyone, and Welcome to Thrifty Shop Girl! Glad to see you stopping by. I have some pictures to share with you of some thrift store finds that I had found. I think I might save those for another time. Today I thought that maybe I would share with you what I have done with some of those Thrift Store finds I had shared with you. Not all pieces were used to repurpose cuz come on, a girl has to keep some things for herself too, right? Sure we do! Anyway, below you will see a few pictures of completed items that I repurposed upcycled.
A Green Relish Dish Tray Glass Pedestal Stand Vintage Inspired is completed, and listed with my shop at Etsy. I so loved how these 2 beautiful glass pieces came together to create this relish pedestal stand. So much better in person, and the item looks like new too.
A Stoneware Cupcake Plate Amber Glass Pedestal Stand looks great in person! This adorable amber glass candy dish, or dessert bowl was attached to a lonely Mikasa Soup/Salad bowl to make this beautiful piece. This can also be seen with my shop at Etsy too.
Lastly I am showing you this wonderful Green Glass Cupcake Plate Pedestal Stand that was repurposed by Me. I just love this plate that was used with the color, and design work it has too. The green glass candy dish, or dessert bowl was a great match to attach to this plate creating this piece.
I adore, and have fun making these lonely pieces into something useful with so many possibilities for their use too. Some things I make I do keep for our home as well to dress it a little bit here, and there. I have also made some pieces with glass cylinders making candle holders that were given as gifts. So many choices, so many possibilities, and so many ways to share it all too. As mentioned before, it's fun to do too! I like spending the time searching for items, taking my time in what piece will partner with what piece, and all of that. Sometimes I might be to selective, but I do enjoy the outcome of them when they are completed.
Well, I hope you all enjoyed what was shared with you today. Thanks so much for stopping by, and sharing with Thrifty Shop Girl. I have enjoyed it, and hope you have too. Take care, and see you again soon. Later....
