Christmas Thrift Haul & Inspiration | Beautiful Vintage Finds

Hello friends! I am SO excited to be sharing a Christmas thrift haul & some beautiful inspiration with you! Before I begin, I want to share that one of my favorite bedding brands, Brooklinen is having an amazing Black Friday Sale that you can shop here - bit.ly/Brookli...
I share a sneak peak of our boys bedroom in this video and share their brand new Brooklinen bedding which includes a beautiful linen sheet set and duvet cover! I LOVE these sheets and I have shared them before in our personal bedroom space. Their Black Friday sale starts 11/16 and runs through the end of November and once again all Brooklinen items are 20% off - their biggest sale of the year!
Back to my video - I have been slowly decorating my house for Christmas and today it is snowing! Nothing like fresh snow to make Christmas decorating so magical! Each year before I decorate, I love to take a look at my past Christmas decor and also visit several friend's blog posts for inspiration. I hope you enjoy friends and I'd love to hear your feedback in the comments!

I’m 70 & grew up with the lamb mold ;older ones were cast aluminum & much heavier. Mom ordered ours with Bakers coconut premiums. She baked regular white cake in each side. Then they were set upright, iced together, then iced liberally and sprinkled with coconut. We had it every Easter(to honor the lamb of God🤓) your guys will love the tradition. Mom also periodically made butter in that glass churn when granddaddy gifted us a gallon of farm milk which was 1/3 cream on the top. Wonderful memories. Elizabeth

[@tinytinacreations]

What a fun memory!

[@gloriam.9692]

Yes, I’m 56 but can recall being 4 years old and fascinated with the coconut lamb cake every Easter at my Great Aunt’s house…that was an annual tradition and when she passed away, my mother was given the mold as she was the only female in the family; so it’s been some 50+ years that we’ve celebrated every year with a ‘little lamb of God’ cake during Easter. 💝 The butter churn is very special as well… to know that your ancestors’ hands worked so hard at producing their daily needs is very humbling yet awe-inspiring & priceless. TFS, Andrea… phenomenal haul! 😊

[@laurabraley1907]

That's a Nordic lamb cake mold for Easter to represent the Lamb of God. It's beautiful!! I have one and put it out for Easter but I never thought about putting it out for Christmas. It would be beautiful with a ribbon tied around his neck! Merry Christmas!!

[@debbiefletcher4781]

Your lamb is definitely a cake mold. I’m in my 60’s now and I remember every year my mom making a lamb cake for our Easter dinner. What a lovely thought using it as Christmas decor.

[@AP-gz6nq]

Just love this video and that you’re only now getting around to thinking about Christmas! It’s so strange to me how everyone on the internet is so excited for Fall and pumpkin and then rush into Christmas before the leaves have even fallen off the trees! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your beautiful family and can’t wait to see your lovely festive home sometime soon!

[@ceferinocanibano6284]

I agree. We Don't Need t rush. My Summer flowers are still in bloom.

[@janicel4960]

Great timing. I'm going to a favorite thrift store of mine today because their Christmas decor is all 50% off! I love your ideas with the items you bought, and also thank you for the links to other bloggers. Decorating is challenging for me, but I'm a really good copier, so it's great to see ideas from lots of sources. And you are not behind in decorating, in my opinion. I never start until after Thanksgiving. :)

[@suewaller7802]

Isn’t it sweet that God smiles down and blesses us with little treasures of HIS love with special things like just the perfect color of ribbon , a beautiful free mirror , and special little ornaments and decor ! He is such a personal Father to each of us! 😊

[@kathleenroberts7972]

Oh yes!! A mirror behind the tree! Sounds so victorian..wow!!

[@Susanb89]

Yay, a thrift haul!!! You found some amazing items ❤ I am happy you have not decorated for Christmas yet. I know it’s hard being on social media when everyone else is doing it. I just feel like Christmas gets rushed and pushed in our faces in all the stores and it’s refreshing to see someone not fall into that. I can’t wait to see what else you find in your upcoming vids 😊😊😊

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you for the sweet words, I appreciate it! 😊

[@territina5365]

Oh Honey, I LOVE your sleigh bells, nothing sounds more Christmasy & Delightful...Also, those musical instruments are adorable...Rebecca Robson of Kinwoven Design did her entire Christmas theme last year with musical instruments...Your .75 star was a fab find too, it looks like the stare of Bethlehem...In 2nd grade our class churned butter with our sweet elderly Teacher, Ms. Lowery, all these years later and my classmates and I have never forgotten that charming experience and the taste of our churned butter on a half slice of bread...Let us know how your butter CHURNS out! (pun intended 😘) HAPPY🦃 THANKSGIVING & MERRY🎄CHRISTMAS~🎶📯🎶❤⭐🎶🎷🎶

[@shirleyurmson5656]

The butter churn is my favorite, imagine your grandfathers. It would look great with a string of LED lights inside it sitting on the counter, a little ribbon, a few greens....happy decorating

[@robinnieto2703]

My husband grew up with his mom making Easter cake in a bunny mold. In my search to find one to recreate the memory for him, I came across a lamb mold on Facebook marketplace. I messaged the person asking if it was available. They still had it and told me they wanted to give it away to a good home. It’s heavy, cast aluminum. We treasure it.

[@sheilaball3693]

Just what I needed to feel more christmassy! Thank you Andrea. Can't wait to see what you do with everything you've gathered.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you! So happy you enjoyed it!! 🙂

[@lisag.6599]

We had one, too. Just like that. Cake mix is what my mother used, because the amount fit into the mold just right for Easter.

[@jankinman4685]

What great finds!!! The butter churn could totally be Christmasie. Ribbon on top with cookie cutters inside. I think your music tree is a beautiful idea to use with your new items. Thank you for sharing your friends posts too!

[@1981pimpek]

In Poland we bake lambs like this for Easter. Also our molds differ a little. Opened on bottom and baked upside down to leave a place for rising dough. We bake mainly yeast dough in it. I make eyes with cloves. Kids are always very excited to eat lamb's head 😉

[@PineandProspectHome]

That is so neat!! Thank you for sharing! 😀

[@sharonsomers5513]

I love all the items you got. The butter churn is so neat and special because it was your grandfathers. 🎄

[@lindaparra6002]

Thank You for sharing the tree in front of the mirror. It does look like there's 2 trees. The instruments would look wonderful in your Christmas tree as ornaments. I love both mirrors especially the one given to you. Thank you for sharing......Blessings!

[@sharonrose2963]

The best haul! How fun! Sleigh bells are one of my fav Cmas/Winter decor items. So many options! Love the mirror idea. Thanks for sharing, Andrea! It'll be fun to see the ways you use these finds. Love Little House! And what a great gift the butter churn is! ❤

[@lindaburris1968]

That definitely is a cake mold. I remember seeing those when I was you. Beautiful ideas for decorating

[@saidaswift9531]

Loved the lamb with the greenery Angela and the butter churner is such a wonderful gift to always remember the grandparents. I love that the boys want to experience what it was like, back in the day, to churn your own butter...priceless!

[@PineandProspectHome]

Yes, it's been so fun!! 😄

[@suesaur]

I have had a strap with sleigh bells since my girls (now in their 30s). We hang it from the door knob, and on Christmas Eve, and sometime during the night, we would hear it rings and know that Santa had visited.

[@christysimoncini6890]

Great thrift haul. I want to thank you for always posting honest and simple videos. I get overwhelmed with other videos that show immaculate houses and expensive decor and homes. Your voice is calming and your joy is infectious. As a single mom I really appreciate the beauty of the simple life. You are an inspiration. Have a blessed Holiday season.

[@marylenhastings6533]

Rebecca Robeson from Kinwoven decorated one of her trees last year with musical instruments! It was cool and unique. The ribbon you found is beautiful! The lamb mold is adorable! She would look festive with a bright red ribbon and placed in a basket with greenery! The butter churn is awesome! I almost forgot….great steal on the beveled mirrors! This was a fun video! Thanks for sharing.

[@marialicemorgan19]

I’m glad you are behind. I like to let thanksgiving pass before moving on to Christmas decor. Love your haul

[@maryjomathews4749]

I have my grandchildren's room done in chambray and denim. I use pillow ticking remnants and natural linen for dresser scarves in the room. I also made their curtains out of denim. All my ticking is vintage but you can find it new at Joann's. It all washes and wears very well.

[@bluesky7226]

Love mirrors. I have two of my Christmas trees sitting in front of mirrors. 💝

[@tammytiman9873]

Amazing treasures! The free mirror is beautiful! ❤️ 🎄

[@Varbaje1]

O Andrea what a blessing that butter churner jar your grandma sent you! How sweet of her! And the horns; gotta get me some! Merry Christmas, and happy thanksgiving. Never mind! Lol - I totally get it, life is so busy and going so fast hard to keep track of what’s next! Have a very blessed thanksgiving with your loved ones!

[@irmayorke9075]

Such great thrift items to do Christmas decorating with. I'm sure you will make everything beautiful.

[@sherrykahn2474]

Hi Andrea!You found some very nice things!!!Cant wait to see how you decorate!!Enjoy!!!😁⛄🎄🤶🍭🎅🎄⛄

[@janetdavis5619]

Lovely finds Andrea, the butter churn is wonderful, put a little fake snow in the bottom and a bottle brush tree, ribbon on top and display in your kitchen or dining room! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@deannaevans5235]

Fun finds! Loved them all and could totally see you decorating with each. Love the butter churn and even better it coming from your grandma. After I was married I always shopped my grandmothers house, LOL. She always said you ask for it first it's yours and she referred to it all as junk! I cherish what I was given by her. My cousins do as well. I haven't decorated yet either but have been thinking about it. I love Thanksgiving too much :). Thank you for sharing your fun haul! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@rachellebrooke4614]

Those mirrors were a fantastic find!

[@lesliepowell6471]

You are so blessed to find so many wonderful things and fantastic prices! Love them all. I ordered some sheets! You made them seem like a heavenly nights sleep! Cannot wait to receive them! Happy thanksgiving to you and your family.

[@ritabaker3113]

I have that exact churn. A beautiful antique. Blessings

[@jeanniecollier6763]

What a great tour and such a wonderful place she has.

[@kathleenmaier1371]

Just thinking 🤔 the lamb would also be great for celebrating Resurrection Day! The precious Lamb of God. Love the Christmas ideas.

[@cathywilliams8775]

That is a lamb. Mold for pound cake. I have a cast iron one from my grandmother. U lay it on it side when baking. And the pound cake will rise into the other side they are beautiful to bake in. If you need more instructions. Google it great. Memory for me I bake in mine every year and keep it out. At Christmas

[@PineandProspectHome]

Awesome, thank you for sharing!! 😀

[@willothewispl]

Wonderful things you bought. Lots to do with them. God Bless.

[@janetandrekus3478]

YES an Easter Lamb Mold ... we use to have our Easter baskets Blessed with all the food we would eat on Easter and Most family baskets included a decorate Lamb Cake .... ours were usually made with a Pound Cake Recipe ... so keep in around to use at Easter time too .... your kids will love the lamb cake to eat ... Great Memories ... European Custom ... I'm Czech and Russian ...

[@dcgelinas1]

Hi, Andrea, I love everything you got in your thrift haul. Your question about the lamb, yes it is a cake mold. I have the same one

[@annetteramsey4627]

The lamb is a cake pan. My grandmother made those cakes for us each year at Easter. I have one and then found another one for my sister!

[@jeaniemarkel360]

I look forward to your posts. Just seeing how beautiful you've made your home is so inspiring. Please don't stop sharing your design ideas!!!

[@bluecottonbykammy7199]

I would love to see your mom’s house decorated for Christmas!

[@meganblasco2]

The butter churn is awesome!! ❤ It could look so cute filled with Christmasy candies…or whatever!

[@meganblasco2]

P.S. just thought of this…..baby mandarine oranges 🍊 studded with cloves Would pick up on tones of copper if you use copper in your Christmas kitchen decor

[@janwood5585]

Your butter churn ... I imagined it as a cookie jar filled with oatmeal cookies

[@kellyjackson8266]

I love all of your treasures, especially the sweet instruments! You are not behind! ENJOY the process as you prepare your home for the season. Your videos are beautiful! 💝

[@lindaparra6002]

OMGOSH I LOVE THAT JAR!!!

[@dianehawkins4914]

Always a joy went over and looked at your other post

[@kathrinabels]

In Germany we use these lamb moulds to bake Easter cakes :) Lovely haul ❤️

[@cameliafranco4497]

What a wonderful treasure’s 🌲

[@bridgetlake]

Andrea, what about using rub n buff on the musical instruments? Put some old cookie cutters and ornaments in the churn with fairy lights! Some greenery and ribbon tied on top.

[@amanda-annenicholson5899]

You could turn the butter turner into a snow globe for the holiday season!

[@linsuemayland6719]

How wonderful to get a butter churn that belonged to a family member. It's so special, I would make it a part of my every day decor. I love all the great finds you shared. Thanks for sharing 💕

[@mt1885]

hey girl- loved the video!!😀 So many good finds and ideas!! Hope y'all had a great Thanksgiving- I am so thankful for you and your family 😘

[@stephaniehebbard2076]

What a great haul! I really need a thrift store like yours.

[@daviddeininger2938]

I love the basket & butter churn. Lorraine

[@nicoletaincze7614]

Sooo beautiful…!!!

[@belindamanis3431]

I remember churning butter with both of my grandmothers. I didn’t get either of their churns but I did buy one in an antique store. Good memories.

[@tinakercher8768]

Try rub n buff for the red on the instruments. The lamb will be great for Easter too! Can you make a vingnette inside the butter churn? Farmer Boy is one of my very favorite Laura Ingalls books!!

[@suewaller7802]

Hi ! Loved this video ! I also have my grandmothers churn . I display it and often add a touch of seasonal decor . For fall , I put a small pumpkin inside with a few pieces of dried fall stems . At Christmas, I add a couple special ornaments . You will enjoy it , I know . Also , i think the small detail of color on your little musical instruments adds so much interest . It’s eye catching . Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for sharing . 😊

[@martyt518]

Wow such good finds! LOVE the butter churn!

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so much! 😄

[@wandacamarigg12]

I love all the thrift finds for Christmas you have found. The little lamb is a cake mold/pan. It is so special to me. My grandmother made us a lamb cake each year for our birthday gift. We have many photos of lamb cakes on our birthday. My sister was gifted the mold, but I found one just like it and was thrilled. I have used it for spring decor and never thought of using it at Christmas. Thanks for the wonderful idea, I am going to use your idea this year. Thanks for sharing.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you for sharing! Such a special story!! 😍

[@janiewalkwitz9543]

Wow, great finds! My mom, now I have the Lamb cake mold. Ours is cast iron, make a pound cake, white frosting, coconut, jelly beans for the eyes, for Easter, love it! You do an amazing job with the details as well...Can't wait to see your home for Christmas!🌲

[@JShow78]

I love baskets too especially during the holidays. I filled mine with vintage wooden, chippy white porch spools and greenery draping out

[@PineandProspectHome]

Great ideas!! 😀

[@terrizimmerman5297]

Andrea, the large free mirror is beautiful. What a blessing! The butter churn would be pretty with a ribbon bow and sprigs of berries threaded into it, or placed inside the jar. That’s a precious gift from your grandmother! Thank you for sharing.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Love those ideas, thank you!! 😊

[@beckymoe9194]

Love every thing and thanks for the other vlog ladies will go to there channel .❤👍

[@momiowa9509]

Yup! Others may have said this already but its a cake mold. My mom used to bake a Lamb cake for Easter! It means so much!

[@modernunwindasmr1942]

Great finds! My favorite is your grandfather’s butter churn! Maybe put ornaments on the inside or vintage butter molds that are Christmas themed? Of course, the lamb could be used for Easter too. 😊

[@PineandProspectHome]

Yes, love those ideas!! Thank you! 😀

[@foreverandalways3305]

Could make it a snow globe too at Christmas. Snow on the bottom with a ⛄️ snowman.

[@sharamyers9686]

I’ve made butter before just putting the milk in a quart Mason jar. It’s best if you can use raw milk, if you can find it at your local farmer’s market or a dairy. Love the suggestion about putting a mirror behind the Christmas tree! Gonna try that😊

[@myhopefilleddays2923]

Oh Andrea, I just love your style ♥️ I can’t wait to see it all come together! Side note, your hair has gotten so long, it’s beautiful 😍

[@carolyost6733]

I love your items and the price you paid. Love finds like that. I HAVE NOT DECORATED FOR CHRISTMAS EITHER WHICH IS REFRESHING TO ME. YOU'RE STILL GIVING IDEAS WITHOUT GOING FULL FLEDGE. SO THANK YOU FOR NOT DECORATING YET. i plan to put fall items away nxt week like monday and then let things breathe before decorating for Christmas, After Thanksgiving!

[@carolyost6733]

Is it just me, or is everybody in a hurry to decorate!?

[@bjohnson1149]

As always I enjoy your videos so much. I especially enjoy your shopping/thrifting videos. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the beautiful free art you so generously share with your viewers. Each drawing is stunning. You sell yourself short when it comes to recognizing your talent in this area. I am proud to print your art and use it in so many ways around my home. I wish you and your family a happy Thanksgiving. May God multiply your kindness and generosity back to you abundantly.

[@donnahardon7801]

Hi Andrea, it is always such a delight listening to you share your finds/ (blessings) .Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

[@PineandProspectHome]

So sweet! Thank you so much!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well! 🙂

[@cindyhancock5261]

Loved your Christmas haul!!!!! Merry Christmas!❤🎄

[@dianejohnson7235]

Andrea, those mirrors are just beautiful! You scored such great decor!!! The boys room is just adorable!

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so much!! 😊

[@carriehayden8204]

It’s good to be a Farmer Boy! 😉 👩‍🌾 ❤️

[@kathleenroberts7972]

P.s. I have that lamb cake mold it was my grandmother's. We make lamb cakes for every Easter. Make a yellow cake frost with vanilla frosting. Put coconut all over it to resemble the fleece. We do raisin eyes and cherry nose and we tie a real ribbon around the neck. Your kids would love it. We lay flat on a cutting board and put Easter grass around it and jelly beans.

[@charlotterogers1182]

Very inspiring. Thank you Andrea. I can see these now in your house for Christmas 🎄. God bless ya'll.

[@ginamaria2579]

Such great finds LOVE the butter churn, and yes put some greens red berries on the sweet gift 🤗💕

[@patroberts1111]

The lamb pan makes great pound cakes.

[@SarahsOctoberHome]

Andrea, I love the lamb. It’s so cute.🤍The large mirror is beautiful too, and I love the shape of it.✨

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so much!! 🙂

[@tammyallen7471]

Love your thrift haul! I really love the lamb mold and can't wait to see where you put it. I also have the butter churn in my kitchen. It belonged to my husband's grandma. I also have read and love all the Little House books. Blessings!

[@foreverandalways3305]

I think the lamb could be a chocolate mold for Christmas or Easter. 🌲

[@PineandProspectHome]

Great idea!

[@pattigerling7864]

My large Catholic family has the same antique lamb mold that we have used for generations, for our First Communion Cake. We all decorate it with white coconut, and raisins for the eyes. Sitting on dyed coconut with green food coloring, to look like grass.

[@walkworthy2285]

Yes, it’s a cake mold. My mom would make and decorate it every Easter.

[@tammyevans7333]

So very nice!

[@noricoleman8988]

Great finds!

[@uglywomancan5594]

The lamb mold molded butter and was used at Easter dinner for buttering rolls.

[@leisureandlace6741]

I have a butter churn as well…what if you added some vintage looking ornaments inside and a distressed bow…adorable!

[@ameliapranger5455]

It’s so sweet seeing your style, the butter churn should work my family has One and we’ve done it before!! the little house series is loved by my family! I’ve had friends use rice crispies and make The lamb for Easter but I think it would work wonderful for Christmas specially with a little red bow around its neck love it❤

[@PineandProspectHome]

So neat, thank you for sharing!! 😀

[@jaynebrown693]

Hi Andrea ~ I can not wait for you to decorate your home for Christmas. When I start getting my stuff out for Christmas, you always come to mind! Adore your ideas. How incredibly gorgeous is the big mirror behind the Christmas Tree….breathtaking!!! I have our youngest daughter and our oldest granddaughter coming next weekend to go through more of my decor to take home! I’m just getting to crippled up to keep trying. This year I think was my final try hard and paying for it. I love the idea of ornaments in a basket! I can’t give up some of my ornaments yet…so I’m going to try the basket! Should be easy , right ? Wonderful haul, fabulous ideas ! Thanks for a blessed evening of your company ~ 🌲🌲❤️🌲🌲

[@katfreedom9794]

Great haul. I love everything especially the mirrors and putting them behind the tree! 🎄

[@ceciliagarza21]

Amazing finds especially the mirrors!😍Thank you for sharing your Christmas blogs, inspiration links!✨♥️

[@catrice7126]

The paper and ribbon are.beautifil

[@brendasmith2194]

Just love the lamb mold...gonna see if I can find one. Can't wait to see how you use all your finds. I like the mirror idea. Thank you Andrea for sharing your ideas.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!! 😊

[@04Katie1]

It’s a cake mold. And it makes a sweet cake.

[@vickiewinfrey2439]

Great haul.

[@kelseyclausen]

Beautiful! And you can use the sweet lamb as spring/Easter decor as well!

[@beckyberrett2415]

Loved your goodies, can't wait to see where you put them.

[@janetgriffin2657]

I also have the lamb mold and we fill the back half with pound cake batter. Place the unfilled face half on top and bake. The cake will rise and fill the sweet lamb perfectly. Enjoy!

[@patriciavogelsperger9645]

That is a cake mo.d usually used for an Easter cake. My sister-law had a real old one and made a lamb cake for Easter dessert each year
