Retro Colours (Oranges and Yellows)


Welcome

Hi Vintage Lovers, welcome to our Little Shop of Treasures Blog. Follow me, I want to share a few of my favorite items in our shop.

Kitchens and Washrooms


Today, I am featuring vintage items which have flowers that are yellows and oranges. My daughter, Cole hand picked these items with you in mind. 
When I think kitchens, I see yellow and white - orange - red. 

 Yellow in particular is bright, cheery and refreshing. It's the sunshine and bright spring flowers. It is warm and inviting - happiness and optimism. 

 These drinking glasses would look fantastic with a subdued cool palette of blues and grays.

They could also be a wonderful feature mixed up with reds, blues, greens, browns, and other neutrals for an earthy, sophisticated, or psychedelic look.

Drinking Glasses


Here we have two sets of drinking glasses with the same colour scheme but two very different feels to them.

 The above glasses are a very cool, retro set of four drinking glasses /tumblers. They have an awesome flower pattern on them.

They are 2 3/4 " across the top and 5 1/2 " tall.
The glasses to the right come as a set of six. They are a really adorable and fun set with red, orange and yellow flowers! 

These measure 2 3/4 " across the top and 4 1/2 " tall.
 I am positive these glasses will be a wonderful addition to your home whether it blends in with your decor or is a unique contrasting item.

Soap & Toothbrush Set

And lastly, we have a vintage, 3 piece bathroom set. It includes the cup, toothbrush holder and soap dish - all with an adorable orange, yellow and brown flower pattern on a white background. 

 The toothbrush holder still has a sticker on the bottom that says "McGregor Bath Fashions Made in Japan."The toothbrush holder is just over 4" tall and 3 1/2 " across the top. The cup measures just under 4" tall and 3" across the top and the soap dish is 5 1/2 " long, 4" wide and 1 1/2 " tall.

Retro Salt and Pepper Shakers

This is a pair of super cool retro salt and pepper shakers with an awesome flower design in orange, yellow and green.

They are in excellent vintage condition!

These shakers are 2" wide and 3" tall. Fill them up with salt and pepper and you won't run out any time soon.


Spoil yourself or gift any one of these items to a good friend. Either way it would be a welcome edition to a home.

45+ T-Shirt Refashion Tutorials

Hi, so happy you decided to drop by. Okay, no small talk. Let's get right to the round up. It was a lot of work but I hope you think it was worth it. I tried to choose a variety of sew and no sew projects. Plus there is something for the whole family - sorry, except your hubbies. No offence guys. There just isn't anything out there. Back to the round up. Wondering why I wrote 45+ tutorials?  You probably already know. I didn't. Why would someone write a number then plus. Don't they know how many links they included? I think I finally figured it out. Light bulb! The plus sign is for those blogs that have several t-shirt refashions on their site. Is that right? Oh well that's my guess. Now back to the round up. Sorry one more thing. The links to the original blogs are all listed at the end of the round up. 45+ T-shirt Refashion Tutorials Links to the projects. How To Make a Fashion T-Sh...

DIY Wind Chimes - Recycle Spoons

Image
Hi there. So glad you decided to stop by and check out my DIY wind chimes made from recycled spoons. I had to make something to meet the May Craft Challenge. And I was lucky enough to get all the supplies for under two dollars. Score! Bummer I din't finish it on time. My supplies include six spoons, fishing line, an old candle holder and a clip I had hiding in my stash of goodies. Since I don't have a drill or anything to make holes in the spoons to thread the fishing line through, I had to find a different way to hang my spoons.  If you look at the picture to the left, you can see the spoons are wrapped and tied with the fishing line. I decided to use the candle holder upside down. It just seemed to look better. I tied the spoons to the candle holder - the wind chime base. Then tied the line around the candle holder feet and finally pulled them altogether and tied a knot. If you liked this post, pleas...
