Thrifting Treasures

I have a few things to add to the thrifting parties this week.  It's hard to get out there with all the Christmas shopping I had to do and Christmas mailing.  

This was quite an interesting buy:  It's a lowball tumbler from Ralph Lauren.  The polo players are etched and the glass appears to be lead crystal.  It looks blue but is actually clear. 

 They are sold in sets of  two and are quite pricy!  Not all are signed, but this one had an etched signature!
$0.75 

 A PartyLite candle holder in a blue swirl glass was a no brainer.  I loved it.  I have a thing for glass, and especially colored swirled pieces.  
$.0.79

$0.25

A vintage  pottery candle holder from Rowe Pottery.  Part of the "A Country Home" collection.  I guess 1987 is vintage.  It's almost a quarter of a century old.  Still looks new, but I love salt glazed pottery pieces and the hearts are so nice.  It's a nice addition to Tortoise Cottage.   I'll be looking for hurricane glass now. 

    Looks like I'm in my Blue Period, but  actually I'm happy as a clam!

Future Non Scary Trunk or Treat Ideas

Image
We had a Family Fun Night at our church on Wednesday Oct 31 and the public was invited to participate via flyers and signs.  The two hour fun night had several event areas.  In the sanctuary the teens had a fun 10 minute skit they put on every half hour of the evening.  The one side of the church's parking lot had a huge bouncy house and a dozen or so carnival games with prizes and the other side of the church on the parking lot we had a Trunk or Treat.   I participated on the Trunk or Treat event and unfortunately was so busy I didn't get over to the other events for photos. I was able to photograph some of the other decorated trunks while they were setting up to get future ideas.  It was my first time of participating in this kind of event although my grandkids have gone to them in years past.   I charged it up a bit with some extras at the last minute, like lights and some other decorations.   I repurposed my house decor for one ...

Disney World's Polynesian Resort Hotel

Image
When we first arrived at Disney World we took the boat over to the Magic Kingdom.  Mr. Bill remarked, as we passed the Polynesian Resort, he never had any desire to stay there.  It looked boring to him from the outside.  I hadn't thought much about it, but I did like the lit torches when we passed by on the monorail.  I decided this trip, since we had a free day, we would stop in and tour the three hotels on the line.  We toured the Grand Floridian , the Polynesian Resort and the Contemporary Resort From a distance it doesn't look too exciting.  I could understand his lack of enthusiasm.   When we stepped off the monorail however, the entrance was incredibly gorgeous.  The waterfall was something we hadn't noticed as it was somewhat hidden from the view of the passengers riding.  It was framed by colorful blooms and multiply kinds of foliage.  Completely setting the stage for a visit in the South Seas.   Inside ...
