Vintage purchases and Christmas decorating

Here is one of the fat lava jugs I picked up at The Salvation Army.

I got two of the same for $1 each.

The point of this location... I love the candy and nut decorated windows.

The point of this picture... To show you my first wool plaid skirt I found on Friday.

*Ooooh I adore it*

Anyone need some brown sugar for their Christmas baking?

The long petticoat!

make a gif

So the Mr. and I went out to one of my fave locations to take some pictures upon arrival what did we see?? A BIG brown bear!!! *EAAAAKKK*

The bear was eating something.... Maybe a fish he caught out of the creek.

He was VERY BIG and scary... We almost turned around and drove straight home!!

I am scared of bears!

*HAHAeheh* "Grrrrrrrr"

Who did I trick?? ANYONE??

It's not a bear... it's me in that REALLY hairy faux fur coat I picked up for $10

"RRRooaaAARRR"

Ghostly Gal

It fits me perfectly... it's just so much darn fluff I almost get lost in it!

After the pics out in nature I went home to do some Christmas decorating

"I can assure you... he is sniffing the lights around my legs" *lol*

*Rocking around the Christmas tree*

My tassel ornaments

*PAH* I was actually doing stuff other than fooling around! Look behind me the tree's almost trimmed.

I will take pics of that wedding dress I purchased very soon. But I didn't get around to it today. I am not even finished my Christmas decorating....

Tomorrow I have to gift wrap some doors! *hehe*

Friday afternoon and Saturday Garage sale finds

Hello there! Friday afternoon after posting my FOF pics I left in a mad dash to one of the thrifts I usually stop by weekly. Glad I went because new on the shelves were these two ferocious beauties. My eyes lit up when I spotted them, then I thought ahhhhh nooo I bet they will be marked high. (But as I have learned "It is always better to ask" I have been surprised a few times recently with price responses to stuff I thought would be marked up for big bucks and ended up only being a couple of dollars) As for the Panthers $4 each. There was another guy in the store who (MAY) have been eyeing them too because as soon as I asked on the price for them.. he looked over and was like (Ya those are real cool hey) Then continued looking them over as I was checking for cracks or chips. As soon as I seen they were blemish free I said "I will take both!!"


I also bought this wood carved jewelry box stamped India for $1

And this cute mermaid lucite soap dish for $1 also

Besides a few silk flowers and some articles of clothing that is what I purchased from the Thrift shop. My guy and I then went and had lunch at the only Diner style restaurant in town left.

(We used to have a Peggy Sues but it didn't last long.. Too bad because I really liked it.) I had a Philly style cheese steak sandwich and fries. *MmM*

HELLO CALORIES!

After dinner I rode a Alligator to burn some calories! (I don't really know if this works but you should try it...?!)

Saturday morning (Woke up at 7 a.m. to go garage saling) Got ready felt half asleep as my sleep i had was not all that good. (Camped out in a tent with Guy and Jersey (Boxer dog) I think out of all of us Jersey had the best sleep. He snored and was content as I hear (Barking dog, Coyotes howling.. then came emergency vehicle sirens...) WOW what a night and we are doing it again tonight!! So half asleep Coconut lady only spent $3.50 Today at yard sales. This week I found the least finds since I started in the spring.

Here is what I bought:

Lovely Mid Century lava vase marked (Tilgmans Sweden) $1

Red and Grey lava Vase $1

Funky flower platter .50 cents

Stopped at Salvation Army cause I had garage sale money burning a hole in my pocket. Purchased this gorgeous Ginger jar for .50 cents (Probably my best find of the day) started doing a little research found some lookalikes.. I imagine this one is pretty old.

Also my Guy looked HORRIFIED when he saw it in my hands.. I said "What?? I am buying this!" ("YOUR BUYING A URN!!") *lol* "Uhmm Honey I think its a old Ginger jar. " ("I'm pretty sure that's an urn") [He then breaks out his blasted Iphone to look it up online] ("Alright well it could be a Ginger jar") Then he holds it for me so I can finish looking. HAHAAH
