Dashing in the Thrift Store

I went for one thing only.  Spoons & such for a project.  But I found these:

About ten pounds of polished stones.  How could I resist when they were only $3.99?

And

For fifty cents.  :-)


It would be so boring if there were not any thrift shops!


Yes, I found the type of spoons I needed too!

I seldom find what I was actually looking for .... but frequently find other goodies! Your "finds" are fantastic! Now I'm curious to know about the "spoon project".

Don't you love when you find surprises while thrift shopping. Looking forward to viewing your project with the stones. The light switch is very cute, bet that will be a conversation piece.

Oh how I agree. I have to make the rounds of all the thrift stores in my area every week or two. Sometimes I find myself browsing for hours when they have a new shipment.

Future Non Scary Trunk or Treat Ideas

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 evening...so I didn't
