While out
thrifting yesterday, I stopped by one of my favorite stores to see if they had their Halloween items out yet. They did!! I thought I would show you some of the new Halloween items
on the market this year. These napkins are reproductions of a china pattern.
I bought a set of maple leaf dishes.
These are carried by
Raz. I think that they make some of the nicer decorations available these days.
A pewter pumpkin napkin weight.
These napkin weights come in spider shapes. witch hats (I am on the waiting list for one!), skulls and bats. They are by
Mariposa.
I really like these pumpkins because after Halloween you can keep them out for Thanksgiving.
I bought a set of these sparkly witches dancing with their brooms. They are made from metal and covered in glitter.
This was at the same store and was marked 75% off. What a good deal on a bird feeder.
On to the flea markets. I snapped this silver plated candelabra up for 2.95.
Glass fruit for 49 cents each. I am going to lay this around under my tomato and pepper plants.
Love love love these sterling plate candlesticks. $7.95 for the pair. Halloween, here I come.
I found this nice sturdy candle base which will add height to one of my candlestick projects. $1.95
Another cheese server. Don't ever give anyone a cheese server for a wedding or anniversary present because NO ONE keeps them. They all end up at thrift shops and I think I have bought every single one. I am using all the glass domes as cloches in the garden. $2.95
I pick these old pressed glass candelabras up when I can find them really cheap. They can be used all year round in arrangements. $1.95
Help? I can usually figure things out but I don't understand these at all. First of all, I have never seen a pair of these. Olives and onions? And as you can see on the next picture, they have spouts.
Why spouts on olive and onion containers? They were $1.50 for the pair.
More birds for the potting bench. 95 cents
Hey wait....this does not fit in here!!! But for 5.00, a Santa blow mold in perfect shape was irresistible. I collect old plastic
Santas. When displayed in a group they can be quite charming.
This was the find of the day.
A 1954 singer sewing machine in perfect condition with the manual and all of the
accessories. $60.00...the price for nostalgia.

That birdfeeder is really nice! Never seen anything like it over here.
I have a soft spot for old sewing machines :-) Nowdays I only have two left (Husquarna both of them), but I used to have a couple more. I don´t know why I like them so much, I can´t sow with a sewingmachine if so my life depended on it :-) :-) :-) So every time I´m at an auktion and they have one there I bid on it :-) :-)
Have a great day now!
Christer.
I think my grandma had that same sewing machine. Foot treadle. I loved that machine.
I love the dancing witches. I enjoy looking at most of your finds, but that one is definitely my favourite of all the ones you've shown over the past few days.
I love the napkins! I'd love to have that china pattern!
I loved the little plates too, I like to collect such things from different countries I visit as they are so easy to bring home...
Now tell me what do you do with all this 'stuff'...
Happy days
The Olive and Onion jars are indeed for drinks, and the spout is indeed to drain the liquid off, but some folks like a little of the onion or olive juice in their martini, it gives it a better flavor.
