Thread: I Love A Good Yard Sale/Thrift Store Find 2011

Tweet

Well boys and ghouls its 2011 and although its freezing in my parts and yard sales are dead I am ready to ignite this thread again to see what you are finding.

Recently I was gifted this set of blow mold candles for Christmas by a mysterious donor who left them on my porch. I really like the twisted look of them so I will be painting them black and adding them to the halloween display.

What have you found lately for your haunt? This applies to yard sales, craigslist, curbside and of course thrift stores.

Found these a couple weeks ago at the DI.

What is a DI?

Those are pretty cool The Man! That cat cracks me up.

Gris, it has a lighted base with three different color lights..pretty cute.

I went thrift store shopping last week, got some dolls and candle sticks for PVC candles I am going to start tomorrow.

Nice finds Mr. Gris, The Man and Trex! Happy New Year to all!!!

Trex those are great finds.

i got a curb side white metal Christmas tree. i figured it doesn't work and that is why it's curbside, but grabbed it anyway. there are 3 tiers of lights. the bottom one works and part of the top one. a few years ago i purchased a black metal tree with 250 pumpkin lights. now i think, i have tons of strings of lights, why not have a white metal tree and string it with my lights. it could have dangling skeletons, black cats, pumpkins, spiders, witches, slime, or any other character i have and i want. should make for an interesting tree.
nice finds you other guys

Well this is just great! I mean for heaven sakes here I thought Halloween is over and I could finally get some relief from all the jealousy I had from everyone else's finds all last year. Mr. Gris and all his rats for one LOL. But now here Mr. Gris goes and starts this dog gone thread all over again for 2011!!!! Ahhhhhh!!! Well looks like im in for another year of envy and drooling over everyones finds THATS OK I cant wait Come on people post those finds so I can hop on my broom and fly on over to your Haunt and STEAL IT!
