Post Christmas Thrifting

My daughter and I have hit the thrifts like crazy, but honestly, the shops in Florida ROCK compared to the ones I have found here in North Carolina.  Nevertheless each store is a challenge and I have managed to unearth some great 75% off Christmas items!!



I did find these cute little Starbucks ornaments at a dollar apiece! 


 They were fun because we just had our holiday lattes today!

They were cute on all sides!

 One was from 2005
 Two were from 2006


This little guy melted me!  What a great little smile..worth more than the quarter I gave for him.


And then I found his papa, knocked down to $1.25!


So cute together!  
I found them on different tables though.

This one holds a tea light...so cute!
 I can't wait to take him home and test it out!
 
 Of course I found a Santa Mug! Fifty cents!
 I feel comfortable buying a holiday mug I can tuck away with the Christmas items!
But isn't it cute?  I love the little Santa inside the rim :)

And who could resist a gingerbread man?  Not I!
Especially for a quarter!


Not a lot for all the shops we were in.  I left many shops with nothing!!!  Unheard of for me.
But we aren't through yet!  We are calling in reinforcements and going out again next week.

I love the Starbucks ornament and I want one! Great finds. It's a shame about the poor thrifting, but you have to figure that Florida would have superb finds with all the retirees there. But you'll find stuff; a dedicated thrifter always does!

Adorable thrifting finds you have! It is so sad when you have to leave a thrift shop empty-handed...ugh! Hopefully things will pick up in your area next time you go out. Happy New Year!

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
