I didn't need any more Halloween decor, but...

10 years ago

So I found some cute things for Halloween that I just couldn't pass up.

The witch was $6.99.
The prim figure was by Gathered Traditions. She came with a card saying her name is Pauline. She was $2.55 w/discount.
The crow was .20c.

The music box was $5.19. I don't recognize the tune, but it is appropriately spooky.

The "I Scream Parlor" tealight holder was $2.99.

Finally, a teacup holder that is not Halloween, but something I have been looking for at a reasonable price. I have seen them in antique malls, but they were pricey there so to find this one for $2.99 had me doing the happy dance.

I started my fall decorating yesterday, but will wait until Oct. 1 to put out the Halloween decor.

TTFN,
Candy

I think you needed more!!!LOL Love the girls and crow. BTW, what a deal on your Gathered Traditions doll! Tea light holder and halloween box will both be delightful with your Halloween decor.

So happy you also found a teacup holder. This will be a fun to show offs your special cups. Unique design on it.

I need to start fall decorating but for some reason I'm just not excited to get started this year. Maybe I need to see more inspiration to get me movin'. I loved seeing Janes twig tree all lit up with the pumpkins.

Jackpot !! Again!! You always hit the jackpot thrifting! I am glad you found the teacup holder, that is really neat and I bet you'll do a LOT of decorating with it.
Lots of cute Halloween decorations, tho you could just come shop mine since they've been stored for 2 yrs. :o)
However I couldn't let you touch my witches or crows. LOL.
I'd have bought that little witch you found in a heartbeat.
I don't like scary, ugly witches but I am nuts about ones like this. She's adorable!!

I just got my 2 big bins of Fall decor out of storage shed into garage to start work on. I am actually excited now about decorating with it. (Halloween still "iffy").

Punk, I'll do another post in a few minutes and if you don't get inspiration or interest, I'm going to have to have a heart-to-heart discussion with you!!! :o)

I DIDN'T w/s-but have ? anyway about growing seed in pots
Q

Many people will WS straight into a container. They do put some sort of a greenhouse-creating cover on it. Whether you plant straight in the ground or a pot, the seeds are at the very surface, where it dries out fast, and they need daily or almost daily watering if you do not have a cover to hold the moisture in. You could do that, or just stretch some vented saran wrap across your pots, or use a clear garbage or dry-cleaning bag. Depending on how sunny your spot is, you will need big vents at this time of year since a warm day plus a very sunny spot may cook the seedlings. Most people recommend a soilless or mostly soilless mix for containers, if what you have is actual soil, I would mix it with some perlite or peat or both to make sure it stays pretty fluffy all season.

Bought a reindeer I didn't need

Your reindeer is very nice, paintchips! I don't think you'll regret having him in your household. He's elegant, really...an elegant, regal, classic, timeless reindeer that will grace your winter wonderland with style. He will look marvelous. He's so much more tasteful than so much of what is on display at holiday time, & it's ONE reindeer, not Santa's sleigh led by Rudolph (which my neigbor displays every year along with several snowmen, "decorative" flags, & numerous other chotkes, all illuminated by thousands of lights.) I wish you were my neighbor! I would enjoy seeing this little guy everyday & would so appreciate the restraint you practice. You really have not gone overboard, though I truly value your efforts to live simply & monitor your purchases carefully. I try to do the same. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the comfort of the throw. I bet it's really cozy & warm...good buy!

Kim, your story made me remember when I shattered my ankle. I was cleaning the stalls int he barn, both dogs were off leash in those days, but with me ... I stepped up to the manure pile to empty the wheelbarrow, when I came down, my ankle shattered ... no one ever determined why. I obviously went down with a cry ... both dogs came running over to me and were frantic about what happened to me. I called to the kids across the street to get their Mom and for her to call 911 ... they had just thought I was playing with the dogs on the ground. LOL ... I can laugh now. I spent a couple of days in the hospital, it took a while to find a surgeon and then I had to get my strength back enough to walk with cructhes, which was new to me. I ended up going to my sisters house for a couple of days before heading home, my Mom had gone to my house to bring my dogs to me, and only my female (Brandi) would come. Dakota was still feaked out and wouldn't get into the car with my Mom. When Brandi came in the door at my sisters house, she started barking madly and I could hear her nails scrabbling on the floor as she tried to find me. She basically launched herself into my lap when she saw me ... and then wouldn't leave unless I went too. So, if you were really hurt, and hopefully never are ... I bet they will surprise you!

"Witch causes catfight in aisle #__" LOL
Maybe it is a good thing we can't go thrifting together.

Thanks Jane. After spending too long in a HOT garage
sorting what I wanted out of those bins, I ran out of steam this afternoon and didn't actually get much done.
Maybe later tonight I'll get motivated, after I sit awhile.
Now if you and Candy would just come help....
or if Candy would share some of her energy......

hugs, K

'"Witch causes catfight in aisle #__"
Yep..that would be the case.

As far as Candy & I coming over to help...that would be a problem too...I'd probably bring my very large TOTE...and somehow your things would mysteriously find their way into it!!
But..I agree, Candy's energy certainly would help - ...along with Punk's!! lol

LOL,"Witch causes catfight in aisle #__"

I think the members of this forum are kindred spirits and we do like the same things!! Soooo, maybe we couldn't go shopping together, but it sure would be fun to decorate together!!
We could spend a day at each others houses and laugh and talk, and put our decorations out and then move on to the next house. Wouldn't that be fun!!!!

I don't care for the gory, gruesome, gross Halloween dÃÂ©cor, but I do enjoy the cute witches, spiders, ghosts, and Jack O'Lanterns. No dripping blood, skulls, skeletons, or tombstones for me (well, I did put some little skulls in one of my potion jars, but that was it!!!)

Karen, I hope you found your energy! A hot garage, wow.

It was only 65 here today and I played golf in a Girls Night Out event and it was downright chilly!! It didn't start until 5:00 and by then it was in the 50's. I was not dressed warmly enough since I was wearing an outfit I wore to work, so it was a long evening, plus most of the women are not really into golf and they stand around and discuss every shot and take forever. I was playing with some friends who are tennis players and only took up golf a few years ago, so they analyze every shot. I don't think I'll be doing that again.

I'm looking forward to seeing your posts when you get your dÃÂ©cor up!!

Punk, I have a couple of other teacup holders, but they weren't really what I wanted. This was it, so I'm thrilled.

SD, thanks. I think that is why I enjoy thrift stores so much. The adrenalin rush when I find a great score!!
One of my best finds was a Louis Vuitton purse in a GdWl outside a very ritzy part of town. It looked like it might have been used once and when I got home, I found the exact same purse on Ebay for $650!!! I paid $39.99!!

Jane, the new witch will be joining another cute one I found last year. The only thing wrong with the new one was she was missing a couple of rhinestones on her shoes.

Thanks ladies,
Candy
