The winner of last weeks spellbook is: Sugar Please send your info and I will mail it right out. I have another spellbook to give away this week. It is a book of white magic.
It's titled "Enchanted".
There is all kinds of useful information in it.
Sorry about the flash but it was difficult to hold the book and photograph it at the same time.
It is filled with beautiful photos.
The cover is turquoise suede.

I hit the thrift store again yesterday. I was thrilled to find these two perfect Stiffel lamps marked at $9.95 for the pair. And, since it was half off Friday, I got the pair for $5.00!!! These are going to be gorgeous when I am done with them.
This lamp is really sweet and for $2.95, it included the shade! I can't wait to transform it.
With lamp shades as expensive as they are, I can't pass them up when I find ones like this for $1.95. I know I will use them sooner or later.
Here is another rather plain shade for $2.95. It will look great when I add trim.
A witch can never have too many brooms. This one cost a dollar.
And it was handmade and still has the tag.
I love half off day. This set of bowls cost me less than $4.00.
Perfect timing on this find.
I collect vintage juice glasses and I rarely find them. These were .49 cents each and I already have the pitcher that matches them.
I love finding these small casseroles because they make perfect gifts when they are filled with something yummy.
And who gave away their crystal ball? The shame of it!!! Not only are these expensive when you buy them new but I think it is just plain bad luck.
I placed it on a bronze gryphon crystal ball stand which I already had.
The local drug store had these on sale for $1.00 each.
One now sits on the stand that came with the crystal ball.
They also had fall colored wash clothes on sale.
Remember this candle holder I bought last week? I had some hand made candles which worked perfectly for Fall.Now if we could get some nice Fall weather. It is going to be in the upper 90's again today!!!

Your finds this week are amazing... a Crystal Ball AND a Broom.... LUCKY LUCKY YOU!
I purchased the little Halloween cookbook a couple of years for my then preteen son...very cute ideas my 9 year old daughter pulled it out and rummaged through it the other day...I put handwritten notes next to recipes to "remind me" of tips for the next time... the Yummy Mummmy cookies on page 84 the chocolate cookie is WAY too dry... I think I will try to perfect that recipe this year. But we did have little harvest sticks with dip on page 24 were a real winner with the kids.
Please enter me in the giveaway. I'm already a follower. :)

And yes! It is bad luck to get rid of your crystal ball. .perhaps someone not in the know, got rid of it in an estate. I can't imagine anyone giving away something so beautiful. .
Hang in there! The weather is changing for the better. Even though no rain is forecast, they daytime temps here during the day are in the 80's, but more importantly, every night this coming week, the nighttime temps drop a few degrees lower, with the lows on Thursday and Friday being in the 50's! Yippee!!! And what weather I get, you get a day or two later. .your pool swimming days are numbered!

PS: Thanks for the chance -- and thanks for sharing all those great photos! :)

I want to try several of your ideas (the no knead bread and the glass towers for a couple) and would love to win the white magic book.
