When Sheila and I went on our fun day I saw this display ( and posted the picture). It was the canvas with the truck painting that caught my eye.
At the thrift store this week I saw this painting and it fairly jumped into my cart!! I was so pleased to find it and even more so when I realized it lit up!!
I made a little vignette with it on Mom's old Singer DH collects John Deere tractors and I chose one of his collection as well as a pick-up that he also had. Now I'm looking for more bottlebrush trees to complete my display.
Another lovely 'find' were these Brambly Hedge books ( .25 each). Actually less because it was Wednesday and seniors get a 20% discount.

Thanks for visiting, GM
I just love the painting, and the vignette is perfect! Tractors have a soft spot in my heart as my Daddy sold farm machinery parts, and as a child I spent a great deal of time on my Grandma's farm...
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas,

Love the pastel pinks on your tea cup!
ReplyDeleteAnd what a find thrifting!!
What a lovely vignette!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice tractor-story is here in your Chritmas-House!
ReplyDeleteThe last bunch of years those old red pickup trucks have become very popular at Christmas. :)
ReplyDeleteYou found some real treasures. I am in love with that painting too. I can see why it hopped into your cart. It's perfect in the vignette that you made. I am not a decorator so I admire it in people like you that can make things so lovely.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

I have never seen individual Brambly Hedge stories like that. I only a few years ago encountered the stories as a collection, which has become a favorite of all the young grandchildren. <3
ReplyDeleteI love the pickup and the tractor! And the books..and the teacup.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big Brambly Hedge fan, and those two books were a steal! Jill Barklem is quite popular, and her artwork is perfection. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI love your tractor story. Wat a nice tractor painting. I love it too. And the books are "toppie" (Dutch for very good or nice).
ReplyDeleteI love all your finds but especially the books!
ReplyDeleteFun display! Love the tractor and the old truck!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely vignette you created with the thrift store canvas and your husband's tractor models. Love it! The Brambly Hedge books are a great find, too.
ReplyDeleteLove all your finds. I also did a little display like the drawing you saw.
ReplyDeleteI've seen several pics of old red pickups in a Christmas setting, I love them. I also love the tractor picture and the vignette you made, so pretty.
ReplyDeleteMy husband would love that painting. He is a tractor lover as well!
ReplyDeleteI made a Xmas display like yours on a table
ReplyDeleteI love your tractor display and your neat light-up picture. And the model truck, almost thought it was like hubby's but he says it's a different year. In regards to the books, have you ever seen the Tractor Mac series of picture books? They would look neat with your tractor display.

LOve your vignette. Bottle brush trees will be the perfect finishing touch.

ReplyDeleteYes and first the books ... so beautiful. I would like to leaf through it :-) Enjoy. Many warm greetings to you. Viola
