Halloween Thrifting!

This is seriously addictive. I keep thinking that if I miss a day, I will miss all the really good stuff. Is this like 'if a tree falls in the woods' in that.....if a really good deal goes down and I am not there to see it, did it really happen? See what I mean, too much thrift shopping on the brain. I bought another old wooden fruit bowl for 1.00.


I have really lucked out on finding gold pillars which I need for my Halloween scheme. 1.25


An old chippy urn. I might leave this as it is. 1.00


Thanksgiving will soon be here. Time to think turkey.


More owls for the owl cage. These guys are multiplying faster than rabbits.



I am always looking for cheap finds with nice lines. No matter how bland or hideous a piece might be, if it has nice lines you can always transform it with paint. Vase: 1.00


A small tray with nice lines.


A great frame find for 2.95.



I paid 14.95 for this but it is big, about 30x26. I bought it for the frame the same as the one above. It's not a bad still life though.


This very heavy old poorly painted table was 2.99. After I refinish it, I will use it in the garden.



I have not embroidered in a long time but it looks like my next project will be something very big. This hoop is almost 36 inches wide. 99 cents.


I have really good Halloween futures in store for these two. 1.99


Another owl.


What am I going to do with all of these candle holders? Ugh!!! Someone stop me before I buy anymore! But this one was only 99 cents.


I am a wind chime freak. I must have 40 sets of wind chimes on my property. Most of which are Woodstock chimes, so I was thrilled to find this set for 5.95. When it gets windy here it sounds like something out of a movie.


This too will transform into something much more desirable when I am done with it. 1.25


These will remain the same and join the Halloween cache.


I have already antiqued these and they are in the cache as well. I love finding different styles of finials. They are so very versatile.

The Halloween warehouse continues to fill!!!

I´ts a long time since I saw a windshime now. The frames are really fine and I do like the fruit bowl!
Have a great day now!

You could open your OWN thrift shop..just think, resell what you don't use any longer and have all that money to go buy more!

I want to come op shopping with you, we have nothing like the incredible items you are able to buy. Well maybe it is because I dont get out there as often..lol and someone similar to you grabs them all. Love seeing what you get.
