One Stop Shop

The PSL civic center has a One Stop Shop every month in the parking garage.  I went to check it out today.  I thought it would be bigger.  I thought there would be more crafts.  I was hoping to get some Christmas shopping done.  I didn't get anything that I was looking for, mainly a new furniture DIY, but I did take home this cute mini globe for $2.  It looks great with our leather bound books and antique bookcase.  And it reminds me of my Aunt Karen.  She loves globes.  :)

Cheers!

Retro Halloween

Every third Saturday of the month, the Minsky Gym near our house has a community garage sale.  Since Kevin had to work yesterday, I went to check it out.  I love garage sales.  I had high hopes of finding some treasures to decorate with.  It was smaller than I was hoping and I wasn't having any luck until the very last booth, where I saw these...

Vintage paper Halloween decorations!  I remember my mom putting these up in our house in Taylor.  And I know they are getting more popular now, which means they are getting expensive.  The lady sold them to me for 10 cents each.  I didn't even have to bargain!  I almost feel guilty about the price since they go for much more on Ebay.  I got $1.50 worth.  I decorated when I got home.  :)  

Learned this from my MIL.  She decorates the windows and cabinets of her house like this.

Love this skeleton

Here's the outside!  Now, all I need are Trick-or-Treaters!  PS: those ghosts glow in the dark

You'll notice Chester peeking out the window.  He and Freeman do that a lot.  And it's about time I introduce Pepe, our albino flamingo and Louis, our bookworm turtle.  They have been with us since our first house in GA.  I'm hoping to get a girl for Pepe soon.  And please ignore the weeds.  We're taking care of them today.  :)

Cheers!
