Getting ready for Halloween

Looking out the kitchen window...

Beware for spiders:)

In the front window...

A few roses from the front yard...

Candy men...

An army of candy men...

And on the back porch...

Today's thrift store finds

The Salvation Army by our house finally opened today after being closed for about 6 months to remodel.

It was so crowded you could barely turn around, but I was able to find two nice things.

A Butterfly Gold 043...

I'm running out of room on my shelf...

The smallest of the Fire King polka dot bowls...

I've had the large one for a few years.  Now I just need the two more...

I left these two behind, because I thought I already had them.  As soon as I put them down, someone snatched them up...

And while I was gone, a squirrel ate one of the pumpkins on the front porch.  A few days ago, they stole the cob web & took it to their nest.  I guess that squirrels do not like Halloween.

A Christmas blow mold...

Pyrex Holiday Gold Leaf 404

Super exciting...Thank you Kellye!

Kitty just wants to nap on the porch.  She could care less...

Weekend Projects

MDH had to tear down the arbor.  It was falling apart.

We moved a bunch of wood from the side of the house to the wood pile...

Put a few Halloween decorations out front...

The  corn stalks are from the garden...

We have four bins of Halloween decorations but only barely used one this year...

I started putting some decorations on  the Pyrex shelf...

MDH put up the lights...

Belle enjoyed the fire...

Some wood burning...

Gourds...

 I cut some king size sheets to fit our queen bed...

And from last week-

Another shopping bag...

And a rolling pin...

Today's thrift store finds

Today KKC and I went to the giant thrift store.  I rarely get to go there because its too far away.  There was a bunch of Pyrex today.

A Woodland 442 to complete KKC's set...

A Pink Daisy 575-B...

And two Butterprint 501's...

A pink 402...

And a sheet.  I plan to use this to make something for the 4th of July...

This was hard to leave behind, but it had a good size chip in the lid:(  It would be OK for my display.  I keep thinking about it...

A Golden Acorn Space Saver...

A Butterprint 503, as well as a primary 503, Spring Blossom 442 & 444, and a few random pieces in  patterns that I don"t collect.  This store is cash only, so I had to choose wisely.  Next time I'm taking more cash.
