couple of TS finds...and Teegan's Halloween

11 years ago

Haven't been thrifting in ages, and last week I stopped in a new little thrift shop with my BFF and found these two 'treasures'. I love Chickadees, and of course never see any real ones here. So I was delighted with this little set to decorate with. (flash glared a bit on the photos)

Chickadee china set

bunny dish for Easter and Spring decorating

Teegan got to dress up for Halloween, she said "all the other girls got to, so she needed a costume". She's

a little Lion King (Princess?) and has 2 witchy friends, one being her own mini-me Jazz-Trouble! I'm not sure if they'll share her candy corn but she hopes they will.

hugs, Karen

The Chickadee set is a perfect set for a winter vignette, and the bunny dish is very nice, but Teegan is absolutely darling and looks quite pleased with her costume and friends.
That orange tabby cat is too cute and the witch is friendly looking and not too scary.
Are those toads on her tray cloth?
Have you seen the sign "Witch parking only, all others will be toad"?
So glad you got Teegan a costume. That peer pressure is hard to resist, LOL!
Did I mention that I liked the orange tabby? It has such a mischievous expression.

TFS,
Candy

Karen the chickadee set is precious! And I love the bunny bowl.
But I have to say that Teegan steals the Show,
she is the perfect Lion King "Princess".
She and her witchie friends should have a great time Trick or treating!!

Well hello everyone! I was surprised to see my name mentioned here! ha ha! Yes I am moving as soon as the house sells. Very s..l..o..w going! We have a showing tomorrow and that means I am busy straightening out the house. I have been so busy with lots of things and just getting back to posting. I was going to come here a couple of weeks ago and couldn't find the link! I got busy... I have a couple of design jobs that have had me busy with drawings and proposals, I like being useful but there just isn't enough time in a day! I had lunch with Judith a couple of weeks ago and we talked about cameras and taking pictures. She looks sooo good, she is making a great comeback from last year. She had a lot of energy that day and looked radient! We sat outside the Olive Garden and talked for another hour while the weather was so nice. I just got off the phone with her and she said to say hi to you all (can't get online these days at her house, and work is just crazy busy). I told her I would come here and tell you all she is just fine but insanely busy. I told her that if she doesn't keep up her Blog, it's no wonder people think she fell off the face of the Earth! ha ha! You will hear more from her and me soon, I just have to get through this hump of insanity first. My mission is to get the house sold, then my mission will be to find a house in Florida (Space Coast area). Then my mission will be to shower my grand daughters with so much attention that they will get sick of me! Oh ya and by the way, I turned 60 last week. Not something to brag about, but what an experience the day before... I was sweating it... then it all went away and I am calm about it, after all what choice do I have. The point is... I survived to turn 60, now that is a chore in itself! I am STILL HERE. And you know what? I have a lot to be thankful for. Oh I have some ideas for my next house. Won't be as fancy as this one was, but it will have its own character. And, I will ENJOY working on it, after all it is the journey that is where life is while you are waiting for life to begin! Listen to me, wisdom is pouring out of my mouth and I have only been 60 for one week! Watch out! ha ha I posted something I did with plastic beads on my projects blog, feel free to visit there if you want to see what I am up to, I am slow at posting anywhere right now though. My home projects: http://mhprojects.blogspot.com/ You gals are great for thinking of me, Thanks so much, I missed you all too! Here is a link that might be useful: My Blog

Dollbaby's 'Fall Harvest' Tray'scape

Party, I never was fond of dolls either...even as a little girl. Wanted to be outside, and with animals. Then I go and totally fall in love with DollBaby here and suddenly I "had" to have a doll to play with! When I bought Teagan, and showed her to my daughter, hooooo-eeeeeey, you should have seen the eye-rolling! And each holiday when I've decorated her tray and dressed her in something cute, I continue to show it to my daughter (she just turned 45 btw) and she obviously thinks I've lost more than a few of my marbles. I did get her to admit that Teagan is really a sweet looking doll. LOL. Oh, Mr Oblivious still doesn't know about her...tho over a year has passed. She's in my study and he never goes in there. I figure by time she starts college, he might know she's here. ;o) Seriously tho, in looking at some of the decorating blogs, I was a bit surprised at how many women either collect dolls or have a couple they enjoy doing up for the holidays. So Jeanne, Punk, and I, apparently aren't the only ones. Whew! hugs, Karen

Candy, your little witch is darling. The lighted golf ball ornament is a wonderful find 4 u! Looks like y have a golf ball tree behind your momma's sweet little chair just waiting for it. Cute witch's shopping list sign! Love the #'s to dot the i's on it. Your broom and the hat are perfect together. Great job on this one girlfriend. I have a broom from Target that is real close to that. Guess it needs something hanging from it to help out. Thanks for the nudge on this one. So glad you still have your DM's little chair and it's beautiful all decorated. Do you ever wonder why we keep what we do? Seems like being here, everything has a purpose! Enjoyed seeing all your need finds. Punk

Ahhh, PM, we all go thru the 'second thoughts' thingy! It is a big, beautiful high chair ...I've seen one like it before & it is bigger than Dollbaby's (which was handmade, I think...got it at an auction yrs ago!) But, the one good thing is just think how much "tray-scapin'" space is there! LOL! Once you can get it out where you would like, you'll have to see if it 'grows on you' more. Looks like Teegan fits perfectly in your Dad's rocker!!! What a heirloom...duct tape & all, I love it! And I bet your Dad is laughin,' too! The knitted sweater jacket looks great (with room to grow as we used to say when we bought kiddie clothes!)...those 'purple-y' items on the TS rack just jumped out at me! It is so funny to be shopping & think of our Forum friends! LOL! I love the Fall/Winter decor you found! That framed pic is so darn cute! And that nutcracker is great w/your Fall counter stuff! But, those 'meeses'...too funny! (maybe they are from Cinderella's Disney carriage) Looks like you're having fun! TFS! Jeanne S. (& I appreciate all you do w/albums & such on this forum!)

Ohhh...Teegan is just the cutest 'lioness!' ... now all she needs is a 'bunch of coconuts' on her tray! LOL! Love her new 'pals' dining w/her! Dollbaby will be so jealous!

Your Chickadee set is sweet...such lovely lil' birds ... since you don't have them in AZ, here's a pic I took this month out front ... share w/you, purplemoon:

And, of course, how you could you not come home without a bunny! I'm sure this pc just hopped in your cart! You have such a wonderful collection!!! TFS..>Happy Halloween, friend! Jeanne S.

Great TS finds, PM!!! It's been quite a while since I've visited the local TS, and this inspires me. :)

wow.... I can't imagine how different your birds must be from what we get around here. Chickadees are very common in these parts.

That chickadee pattern is still at Home Goods/TJs/Marshalls. Interesting how it has already shown up at the thrift store. Great find!

Wow, Rafor, that is fast for it to show up in a Thrift Shop. Must've been a gift someone REALLY didn't want.

Party, our birds here in Phoenix area are pretty 'dull', tho other parts of AZ get some beautiful ones. But all I see here are grey and brown, and the beautiful irridescent black male grackles. I have tiny Inca doves, mourning doves, white-wing doves, sparrows, and a couple of other plainly colored little birds. Boring. Even the hummers are not colorful here. ;o(

I had to laugh, my grand-daughter sent me a photo of her baby...Bransen is now 5 mon. old. (can't wait to SEE him at Christmas). But for his first Halloween, she dressed him in a Lion costume. LOL. Wish I could have gotten a pix of him WITH Teegan in her's.

Karen, love your chicadee set. I think they are such sweet looking birds, don't think we have them here either. I keep folding down pages in my painting magazines that have chicadees, but haven't tried to paint any of them yet. That bunny dish was just waiting for you and will look neat in your decor.

Your little Lion would have been darling posed with Teegan in her lioness costume! Both look so cute. How neat that you found Teegan a "trouble" kitty. LOL

Karen, if these kids aren't enough to melt ones heart! They are both so precious. It would be fun to get a picture of them together all dressed up. DGD is beautiful too. Tis so true, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree in more ways than 1. Love mini jaz, da witch and plate of candy corn.So cute...

As for your new finds, WOW! Both are perfect and so you. I love chickadee's. Have you noticed that gray is one of the most popular wall colors right now? Would sure go well in my DR.haha I've had mine painted gray for so long it's time to move on. Now to find the painter!LOL

The new bunny bowl is so neat and will jump right in with your Easter decor. You have so many wonderful rabbits and I love seeing them. I keep thinking I'm going to tie a Christmas ribbon on some of mine and enjoy but never do. If I wasn't ready to run out the door again I'd think about doing just that.haha

Okay, I have to say that I am totally coveting your chickadee tea set!! That is SOOO cute! Love me some chickadees! I'm sorry you don't have them in AZ...they are a favorite here.

And your bunny dish will be a great addition to your other great Easter decor.

Love Teegan's Halloween costume and all of her extras!

Lucky you!
