Saving up nuts for Winter

 
Mid last week we had our first big snow fall. I opened the door to let the dog out at around 2 a.m. and this is what greeted me.
 
 
*Snowy Berries*
 
By Saturday the snow had melted but that didn't mean it wasn't chilly. Here I am in the Salvation Army parking lot. I didn't find alot on this particular visit.
I seen a Santa head blo mold and I wanted it BAD! And the Mr. said NO! and I was MAD!
(But I listened)
@#&%  WHY did I do that??
I kicked myself hours later when the store was closed and I looked them up on E-bay. So I had planned in my mind I would go back on the next opening morning. I knew there was a 85% chance Santa head would be gone. "He was" *Uhggg*
To whoever bought him.....
"If I wasn't Married your Santa head would have been mine"
Jus sayin...
 
Speaking of Santa look who I met on that visit.

 
A Jolly dancing Santa in the Salvation Army front window. I thought it was marvelous when I read Curtise's post about her weekend. She met Santa too.
 
 
And was also rocking the faux fur!
*Woo woo*
 


 *Headed to another thrift store*
I did some retail shopping here is four new things I have purchased.

 
 The red one is mine the blue is for Mr. Coco
I found them at Homesense for $3.99 each
They also say "Keep Calm and carry on in the inside rim"
 
 
 Apparently I am nuts about nuts! *Seriously* I could not pass up these Acorn statues or finials whatever you want to call them.
I paid only $4 for the large one and $3 for the smaller.  The original prices were something like $22 and $18
(This is why it's always a smashing idea to hover around the clearance section)
P.s. I picked up another owl last night in blue for $2
Now the orange owl is not lonely!
 
The Weather is calling for snow on Friday. Looks like I will be bundled up again for the weekend.
 
Linking up with Lakota's 'Ta-dah! Tuesday'

Hawaiian Parrots on my patio


Hello: Happy Friday! Here I am in a Hawaiian dress I found for $4.99 at Value Village.
I also found the huge delightful parrot & shell necklace for $5.99 (That is more than I usually pay, but lately in thrifts and online they usually start out at about $15.00 so I just "Told myself" I was getting a deal.) "OH WHAT'S THAT IN THE CHAIR ON THE RIGHT??
OMG!! It's another one of those bags... Price was $2.00 and I thought it was hilarious I found a second one.

Remember the first one I found last month?

"Ohhhh the EXCITEMENT"


I am thrilled and Jersey doesn't seem to know what the hecks so exciting!!
I wonder if I will find another....


"Bleeaaauurgh"


 I suppose a belt would look good with this dress trouble is I was in a huge rush to take these pics before Mr. Coco got off work.


 *Kiss Kiss*

Awesome starfish shoes!
$1.00 at a Liquidation outlet


The Parrot necklace


 I imagine this is one of Vanessa's from  Two Squirrels friends!
He has been hanging out in my Maple tree spying on me the past couple days. He likes to run along our fence and eat nuts all day long. He also has staring contests with Jersey my Boxer dog.
 I named him Acorn...

Have a delightful Weekend
