Some Thrift Bonanzas and Some Regrets


I had just finished watching the entire series of eleven seasons of Frazier
when I spotted this cup
Now I can't believe I talked myself out of it
Regret!


I know I can't have every coffee cup I want but talking myself out of
two cups I really liked in one day?  
Regret!!! 

Tea Time Tuesday has beautiful tea cups and saucers but I'm a mug person through and through!
So I'm sharing these two mugs with them today!




Yet I picked up this vintage pottery planter which is yellow and green, not blue.  I love
old pottery and I can use it on my front porch.  


Halloween is over, but I couldn't resist this little Jack O'Lantern
It's ceramic and has a foil label marked "F" from Korea
I love the rakish tilt and the witches hat.  
Bonanza!


 Swanky Swigs?  I didn't think so. Didn't buy, no regrets  

 Cute picture...left it.  No regrets.

Bonanza!

I have so many mugs too. I could probably go weeks without washing a single cup or mug and using a new one each time. Sad, sad!

The African Violet is gorgeous. I find if I forget to water them, which is often, they thrive! The pumpkin is so cute!

Why is it that cute mugs are so easy to find?! I have to talk myself out of them constantly, especially the vintage ones. I tell myself they are just too small for a good size cup of coffee!

I like the mugs! I actually have my coffee every morning in a mug and often sip tea from them too. Christmas ones this times of year. I must admit however that tea does taste better in a china teacup. Thanks so much for joining me for Tea Time and enjoy your day.

Blessings,
Sandi

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
