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,

Day four: Where the day takes you

day four: where the day takes you was the theme for our summer journal over on Teresa McFayden's E-Zine.



"It's fun to think like that you know. As if the day has control over you--rather than the other way around--you have control over the day. I like the latter option, but the title to this journal prompt is more interesting written this way!

If you don't like the title, well good. Remember that and make an effort everyday to try and have control over your day and not the other way around. That's not always possible, but when it is, it's worth celebrating."

Of course the day that I picked to do was one of my busiest days..Oh well it was fun coming up with the different "houses". The title was fun to make. The letters are cut out of paper, no stick ons here...and was before I bought my Cricut..hehe. You would write the letter, ex. "A" on the paper, then outline around it in "balloon type". Then cut it out erase for markings, and then adhere to the page. The flowers are from a kids Easter stamp set. Still fun to play with. I used Staz-on inks. The papers were from my stash.

Big thanks to Teresa and all the work she has put into this journal.

Thanks for stopping by,

hugsssss,
