Can't wait for Halloween

15 years ago

I've been keeping an eye open for some candle holders to put some little pumpkins on for my mantle at Halloween. Look what I found! A set of three for $6.00 from GW--I think GW is a little higher than some of the others, but still cheaper than new would be. Got the dish for 69 cents, the covered jar for 99 cents and the glass for 99 cents. It's perfect to hold some of my paintbrushes. Anyone else done any shopping? Luvs

Dream is GREAT to have you back. I check on you thru your blog to see what you are doing, but really want to see you here again too. Your little girls look darling in their costumes! If I am remembering correctly, they always are dressed up by your tree for Christmas? I'm glad you are joining in with the three toddlers here! I can hardly wait for Teegan to arrive. But maybe I'll find her a Halloween costume meanwhile. You sure gave me a big smile today. hugs, Karen

TS finds

Glad you liked the finds. Luvs is a dishaholic..ha, but I'm all over the place with my purchases. I have got to stay away from there for a while though. It's easy to buy stuff when it's a dollar or less, but it starts adding up quick. A few things I repurpose for gifts. We pick a family to do a 12 days of Christmas for almost every year. The little tree box above will be painted and used as a gift box with candy or something inside and I have a cardboard type hatbox that I forgot to post that I'll paint up and put something inside. Plus we have a bunch of neighbors and friends that we exchange with every year so sometimes I can find fun inexpensive things at the TS to paint up to house gifts. One year I painted a 50 cent bucket and put homemade snowball soaps in it and the family loved it. Last year I found a wooden box that couldn't have been much over $1 and I painted up and put milk & cookie fixins in it and the family is still talking about it. ha (both on the gallery somewhere) My brothers don't have a lot in their houses so I'm always on the lookout for things to help them decorate with. ha If they don't like it...it was only a few bucks so they can just send it back to the TS. ha My whole house is decorated with TS finds and I always get compliments so something's working. ha But the main thing for me is the thrill of finding something you really want for a bargain. I had been wanting a wire tp holder for a long time, but couldn't find one that I liked....found one at the TS for a buck! I still love it. ha There is not much else I need for my house so now I've started finding fun things for my yard. I've got my mom and dad and one of my DB's addicted now too. ha We have a lot of big stores here. You'll have to show us some of your finds too! ;) ~Anj

writersblock, the peppers in the bottom two right hand flats are the ajvarski, they're doing well now, we'll see how they continue. Last year none of my peppers grew well, although they sprouted they seemed stunted. This year peppers are growing like crazy, and I don't know what the difference is, other than the seeds. sleevendog, you're ahead of me, in both size and volume, LOL. I've given up on sweet potates, I get a zillion, all about as big around as my finger, no matter which variety I try. I went for the white Nancy Hall, then Georgia Jet, Beauregard, Agmss, now I have to go look up Piracicaba! I'm hopeful for the aspabroc, this will be my first year. I'd love to shop Fedco seeds, and Elery would like to take a trip to Maine, maybe I should map that in, along with King Arthur, the U of Vermont Morgan Horse Farm and the LLBean outlet! KatieC, I order Lancelot leeks from Dixondale every year, but last year I got them from Jung's as I was too late. The Dixondale is more expensive, but had bigger starts, although the Jung's starts did fine too. So you probably still have time, mine won't even go in the ground for at least another month. We just got an inch of hail about an hour ago, so I'm glad most of my garden is still dormant. The only thing even peeking through is garlic and rhubarb, and they are tough, they can take it. Annie

I did some shopping, no photos yet tho. My daughter drove me out to Hobby Lobby. Its just far enough, and so big to walk thru, that driving myself with my bad right leg (thank you Fibromyalgia) would have been really hard. I had a gift cert. left from XMAS for there. Oh, I could have spent FOUR times what I did. So many great garden statues at 50% off. I got one big rabbit, and two little ones. All are IN the house, LOL. Got a couple of July 4th things.
And actually got a few craft supplies. So I behaved rather well for someone who'd much rather go totally NUTS in that store. Especially as I'll probably not get back there till Fall holidays. Heard they are building another one, but it will be even farther away. Dang. Tho I suppose that is probably a GOOD thing in my case. I get in enough trouble at Michaels.

Luvs, those are terrific finds and at great prices. I especially like the lidded glass jar. There are so many varitions of those in the stores these days. I only have a couple but keep eyeing them up. If I could find them at a deal like yours, I'd have tons. Your candlesticks should come in handy for many holidays, not just Halloween - I'm not ready for that yet!

Karen, sounds like you got some great buys too. Would love to see a pic or two when you have them set up. Hope your fibromyalgia doesn't prevent you from playing with your new things.

Luvs, I love those candleholders. Know what would be super pretty - if you "glittered" your little pumpkins using the Martha Steward glitters. Check them out at Michaels. There is a real pretty orange. You can see them on her website. All it entails is brushing on the glue and sprinkling on the glitter.

That sounds like a fun idea Sal, adding a little glitz. I use the Diamond Dust on lots of things now and just love that. I'll have to look at the MS glitters next time I'm in Michaels. Luvs
