Today I took part in the Thrifty Style Team, which is a group of talented ladies who get together once a month to bring you thrifty DIY projects and decor inspiration that won’t break the bank! Thrifty Style Team is hosted by my awesome and talented friend Julie at Redhead Can Decorate!
This month I’m sharing a patriotic centerpiece using thrifted finds!
I thrifted everything you see in the centerpiece besides the flowers and flags.
I love all things stoneware, and when I saw this stoneware pitcher at a local flea market I couldn’t pass it up!
The centerpiece “tray” is the top of an old wine barrel I found in my grandfather’s barn when it was still standing. The wood piece sticking up on the left side of the tray is the cork.
I’ve thrifted Mason glass jars from several places so I don’t remember where I got this one, but it was either at a flea market, yard sale, antique shop, or found on my grandparent’s property.
I found the rooster weather vane several years ago on clearance at Hobby Lobby. Clearance items at Hobby Lobby counts as thrifting in my book!
My favorite of all the thrifted finds in my centerpiece are these vintage thread bobbins I bought on Facebook Marketplace. Facebook Marketplace is an often overlooked place to find great deals on antique and vintage finds. Check out my 5 tips for thrifting on Facebook Marketplace and you’ll be scoring some awesome thrifty finds there in no time!

Michelle – your patriotic centerpiece is fabulous. We love how you made thrifted finds look so beautiful and cohesive! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much ladies!
So pretty Michelle, I especially love the thread bobbins!! Such a great piece of history!
Thank you so much Cindy!
Your family’s barn sounds like somewhere I would have loved to dig around in, too! Your vintage finds are great, and that rooster just tops off the whole farmhouse look; so cute!
Thank you so much Lora!
Such a cute centerpiece. Did those vintage thread bobbins already come like that or did you paint them? I WANT SOME! I always forget about the marketplace. I think it’s because I can scroll and scroll and only see crap. Would totally love seeing this as I walk through the room. Love it all. Pinned 🙂
Thank you so much Cindy! The thread bobbins came just like you see them! There were like 30 bobbins in the lot in a variety of sizes and colors (some unpainted) and some even had thread on them still! Try searching in the antique/collectible section of FB Marketplace (see my tips!) in order to filter out all the crap 😁
I love how simple this is, Michelle! I’m addicted to FB Marketplace…I just can’t get over what you can find. Love ya girl, have a great wknd~
Thank you so much Julie! Love ya too and thanks for hosting this super-fun hop!
I love your centerpiece! Those vintage bobbins were an awesome find.
Thanks so much Paula!
Michelle, I love your thrifted centerpiece creation. The wine barrel lid is so cool and unique. And those vintage thread spools are amazing! I’ll have to be on the lookout for some of those!
Thanks so much Angie!
I have a few vintage bobbins like that! I need to get them out and display them! Yours look great in the Mason jar!
Thanks so much Jane! The vintage bobbins are so fun!
What a lovely vignette! Thrifted finds are so fun to decorate with. Thanks for sharing your creative ideas.
Thanks so much Meegan!
Michelle your centerpiece turned out just perfect! Love all of your thrifted goodies! Pinning!
Thanks so much Kelly!
Such a great centerpiece and always great to find things at a thrift store. One person’s junk is our treasure, right? Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much Chas!
The fact that the wine barrel lid is from your grandfather’s barn is so special and makes this piece even better. Lovely vignette, Michelle! xoxo
I love all of this!! So pretty Michelle!!
What a beautiful centerpiece! I absolutely love the little rooster. Wishing you a very happy Fourth of July.
