5 simple spring thrifted decor gems to Hunt

Gem 1: Floral Teacups

The springtime has me daydreaming often of tea parties down by our lakes, complete with beautiful vintage tea cups. One of the easiest things to find at a local thrift shop are forgotten tea sets that were once treasured dearly. Long are the days of fine china cabinets, but the trends of afternoon tea and tea parties are certainly on the rise. Just last year I had a tea party themed baby shower that turned out so lovely, complete with all the lace and gorgeous china my mother in law donated.  

Try scheduling one day a week to meet with your favorite people (could be your kids, or even your best friend) and have a cozy little chat with some vintage tea cups and cookies. You and your loved ones will treasure those memories for a lifetime. What a wonderful way to bring in spring!

Where can I find Teacups?

Tea cups can easily be found at your local thrift or antique store. You can also make a fun day out of going to check your local Estate sales. Don’t forget Facebook marketplace and your local flea markets!

How can I style my tea cups?

Aside from having lovely tea parties, there are numerous ways to use your tea cups throughout your home for that vintage look. 

-Try potting up some beautiful small plants like succulents to display throughout your home. 

-You can stack the tea cups on a bookshelf or in a cozy little reading nook.

-Add some acorns or little candy to your cups and display it in your table centerpiece. 

-Have a tea tray set out with a complete tea set, always ready for your next calming tea session.  

Gem 2: Wicker Baskets

When I say I love thrifted baskets, that is not an understatement. They help hide things out of site, yet are so practical and fit seamlessly into a vintage home style. Perfect for simple spring thrifted decor gems. Baskets give off that spring picnic vibe, indicating a season of outdoor gardening and sunshine. They hold little treasures and one may never know what is inside. 

Where can I find baskets?

All the same places you can find vintage tea cups, you can also find wicker baskets. My biggest suggestion would be to look near any kitchenware or furniture, as they can be hidden out of site and easily overlooked. 

How can I style my baskets?

The great thing about baskets is that they are so versatile. They can be styled and restyled over and over again! Here are a few suggestions for using baskets in your home  for that extra vintage look. 

-Depending on the size of your basket, you can hang them on the wall to create some little shelving or create a collage of smaller baskets. 

-Use your basket as a plant holder to hide that ugly pot that your beautiful plant came in.

-You can use Vintage wicker baskets to hold pretty towels in your bathroom. 

-Vintage baskets make for great book storage next to a cozy nook or beside the bed.

Gem 3: Pastel Quilts

Quilts have that perfect nod to traditional days of the past. I can vividly remember my great grandmother’s rack of quilts in her guest room that I always admired as a kid, but had no idea just how much I would have desired them as an adult. If I see a beautiful quilt, I snatch it up!

Where can I find vintage Quilts?

The absolute best quilt is a hand me down quilt from a loved one, so don’t be afraid to ask your grandparent or even your parents if they have any that they would like to pass down. You might be surprised! While not everyone may have this luxury, you can scour Facebook marketplace as well as your local estate sales for good deals. Look for quilts that reflect the mood of spring with light pastel colors.

How can I style spring pastel quilts?

Having different colored quilts for different seasons is a fun way to rotate out decorations but still keeping that old-fashioned feel. 

-Keep a quilt folded up at the foot of your bed for an extra nostalgic look.

-A classic DIY wall ladder is always a beautiful way to display a collection of quilts, folded neatly on each step.

-You can drape a smaller quilt over a chair to make it extra warm and inviting. 

-Try turning your thrifted quilt into a new creation like beautiful banners for a childs room or birthday party.

 Gem 4: Brass Candlesticks

Bring that warm spring glow into your home with the timeless look of brass candlesticks. The elegance is sure to inspire your guests, ushering in a sense of light and new beginnings. For an eco-friendly option you can use locally sourced beeswax candles.

Where can I find brass candles?

If you haven’t already guessed it, the thrift store is a great spot for scoring good prices on candle sticks. While they tend to be more picked over the closer you are to the city, you can drive just a little ways out of town to a small thrift store with much less traffic and have better success. 

How can I style my candle sticks? 

If you don’t have a local business to purchase beeswax candles from, you can always make them yourself and the cost is much more effective! 

-Style a cluster of candles on a pretty spring table runner as a centerpiece.

-You can also add some candles to a prayer corner or a space where you like to sit in peace and read or do your daily journaling. 

-The bathroom is a lovely place to add that extra warmth, giving the room a sense of calm and beauty.

-Spice up your date night with a few candles on your fireplace mantel or around your tv for movie night.

Gem 5: Vintage linen covered books

Books are sure to make a home look and feel cozy, luring your guests to sit and stay a while. They make the perfect little props for just about every space!

Where can I find vintage linen covered books?

My favorite place to look is at our local used book store. They usually give me a great price on used books, especially when they are bundled together with other books. Try taking a little day trip and go exploring if you don’t have any used book stores near you!

How can I style my vintage linen books?

Be sure to get a variety of colored books, I have some ranging from baby blue to green and gold. They really are beautiful to look at and display.

-Under your vintage tea cups in a cozy corner, hoping to inspire someone to sit and read with some warm tea. 

-In a glass display cabinet, surrounded by little trinkets and treasures. 

-On a well organized bookshelf that enhances the beautiful books, maybe with a few thrifted book ends.  

– Next to your nightstand with a vintage analog clock or old picture sitting on top.

Thrifting Tips for simple spring thrifted decor gems 

• Be sure to hit the stores during the changing of seasons as you can get clear-out sales more often. March is a great time to hit the stores for that spring decor!
• Bring your list of must have items to look for (there might be more than you think). I often overlook pieces on the first go around so be sure to do two or three takes and check all the corners of your stores before leaving. 
• Don’t forget your budget! I can’t stress this one enough. Spring gems don’t need to break the bank, make it a challenge to bring only $20-$50 with you so you can’t go over. 
• You can find quick cleaning hacks for your thrifted finds online to help get certain thrifty smells and stains out. 
• Don’t forget that this is a fun adventure, embrace the hunt! It’s ok if items are imperfect, it adds character. So long as you love it that is all that matters.

As I nestle these simple spring thrifted decor gems—teacups blooming with succulents, a quilt softening my chair—my hearth feels ready for spring’s gentle embrace.
