Look What I Found!

We didn't have much time or inclination to do any thrifting in Myrtle Beach.  We stopped in two shops that were very over-priced with very rude clerks.  They weren't even air conditioned so we decided to wait for Saturday and do the yard sales in the neighborhood.  There were five, but I only found one thing of any importance. 

I fell in love. 







I was looking for an outdoor birdbath for my large container garden and this is the perfect piece!  I loved the frog majolica. I loved the pop of red !

I haggled, she haggled back and we couldn't come to an agreement.  I wasn't finished but she thought I was.  I came back after two agonizing minutes with an offer to split the difference.  Victory!  So I paid $2.50.  

Now that I'm home, I want it in my living room.  On my aqua coffee table.  It's too nice for outdoors.

So glad you found a bird bath! This is much cuter than the "almost" birdbath we saw at the Goodwill (i think)! You were wise to wait! But I think it should go outside...it's so cute for the birds!

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 evening...so I didn't

Disney World's Polynesian Resort Hotel

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 the decor was tropical and spacious with o
