Resale Halloween and Craft items

On Thursday I went to the Resale shops and I found some goodies to use for Halloween and other crafts this fall. If you click on these pictures you can see them better.
These items I will be using for the Sweet and Sinister Swap that ArtsyMama is hosting on a private blog. I am going to paint the little house black and see a haunted house. I love the 3 candle sconce, might paint it black add crystals how "sweet and sinister" would that be? I see a black spider web being made also. The orange box and basket I know will turn into something really awesome, I am sure.



I love the pumpkin bowl, I think I might clean it up and use it as a candy dish. The candle holder I can see a little guy sneaking through the house scared to death of seeing a Goblin in a dark corner or chasing him down that hall. Some old orange crepe paper, a jingle bell, and match box. The tiles will have something painted or rubbed on them.

A close up of the "spider web" doily, and a pumpkin garland. The black cord runs through the stem on each pumpkin.Look at these cool vintage doll heads, body, and arms. With a little make-up and a softie body I am thinking of a Witch or two. Some of these came from the old Ben Franklin store that use to be in town here. That store hasn't been open since I was a young girl, I believe I was still in grade school. I found these craft items, I am not sure what I am going to make yet, but I will use them on something.I love these Vintage Alphabet cards.

I fell in love with these orange mushroom Macrame beads.

I have been searching for the right book to use for my Halloween journal. I have it now I seen this photo album, its sorta ratty and torn in places, the color has faded. All of that adds to the character of the album. I know it will make an awesome Halloween journal.

Thank you for stopping by and looking at my finds, I had a wonderful time finding them. I couldn't believe I found it all for under $10.00. I love going shopping, coming home with 3 bags full of items and only spending a little.

Have a Great Weekend,

My latest finds (cont)

Called the "Burgundy pitcher" because of its origins, this ceramic pitcher makes a delightful decanter for the casual, everyday-table-wines from that region – or any other! They are crafted from burgundy clay from the Burgundy region in France.

I also picked up these crocheted doilies, they aren't Vintage, but look very nice on my new table.



I fell in love with these old doilies, just couldn't pass them up. This is the one under my pitcher. I thought it just made the pitcher stand out better.
Wouldn't this look cute with a picture of my Parents sitting on it...I will have to find a place for that to happen. So be expecting more pictures..=)

This one I think my awesome lamp on my sewing machine is going to set on...You know the one from previous post that is a Mason jar full of buttons turned into a lamp.

Everything mentioned in this post, including the button lamp all came from my favorite Thrifty Treasure's Shop in O'Fallon, Illinois. Love that little family owned store....Keep bringing in the goodies Meagan and Jimmy... If you ever get to O'Fallon you will have to check them out.

Watch for more finds I know I will have them...I am hooked on getting my little place looking like a Cottage.

Thanks, have a great day!

Hugsssssssssss,

My latest finds

LOOK at what I found this past weekend. I found this beautiful Vintage side drawer table at the local Thrifty Treasure's that I have started shop on a semi-regular basis. WOW, can I always find something in there. I love the little family owned business. From what I understand it is from 1920's. It sets two....don't you think its just cute!?!?!?!

This is the front view with the cute little drawer on it.

Here it is again with the drawer open where I plan on keeping my doilies, cloth napkins, and place mats. I just love ittttttttttttttttt.

Here is the end view where my husband will be setting. I love the detail that is cut into the wood and the cut on thelegs. On the end of the legs there are wheels which makes it really easy to move. Which will come in handy when I get my wood floors. By the way did I say how much I LOVE my new table and chairs. *wink*

Here is one of the chairs and a closer look at the detail on the corner of the table and the legs of the table.

I am so happy with my find, and very happy with how it looks in my dining area. This is my first step towards converting my house to the Shabby Cottage Style.

May God Bless you,
