Weekends are for Thrifting

Hoping to inspire you to get out there and find something fun or valuable!



Remember my visit to that cute store  Ozoma?  This was my purchase :-) 
All four pieces for $6.00!   Not old but perfect for  flower plates and totems next spring.  
In the meantime...for me! 



These little bulldogs I bought at different sales at different times many years ago.
I've always kept them together.  


 This beauty has no purpose but to stand there and look good. 


From all angles....


But I liked it when I saw it at a yard sale and have always kept it.  
It made the cut when I only took 1/3 of my belongings to Florida.



 These jugs made the cut too.  
The vase is hand painted from Italy and it looks great everywhere
This tiny jug is just clay pottery.
It is probably someone's school assignment!  
I loved the color, the weight and the shape. 
 I was completely drawn to it. 
It tucks into any grouping so nicely.
The little shell was found by my Granddaughter, Kyra at the beach here last May.  


 I don't think I shared this find with you.  I picked up these polished stones at
the Salvation Army thrift store behind our bank.  (I go there a lot!)
They were in a dusty quart size baggie (half full) and were only $3.00
I've used a few of them in some of my whimseys  Like this CACTUS ONE I made for 
a Southwestern Theme.

Those bulldogs are intriguing - and I fall for most ANYone's school pottery project. Naive Pottery, I call it...

I'm currently in the "getting-rid-of-it" stage. I'll probably be back in the "gathering" mode again soon :)

Hi Jeannie, you found such pretty things. My daughter would love those rocks, she loves them of all colors and kinds. I don't see a Like button for your Facebook? But I don't have a personal page, just a business one for my site, but I was going to try to Like/Follow you but don't see a button on your sidebar. Let me know...
Thanks so much for sharing this at my We Call It Olde Link-Up today. Hope to see you there again! --Dawn @ We Call It Junkin.com

I love those dishes in the first photo! Even though they are not old, they are pink and would have come home with me too!

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
