We must have a 2014 Yard Sale, Thrift Store, Giveaways and Curb Alert Finds/Treasures Thread this is one of my favorite threads.
So let the 2014 planning start and the look outs for great finds for 2014 is now on can not wait to see everyones 2014 Yard Sale, Thrift Store, Giveaways and Curb Alert Finds/Treasures . Here is to happy hunting
I almost bought a 4ft. tall "Big Bird" from Home Depot yesterday for $25.
I could think of all sorts of devious thing to "Halloween-Him-Up", I just couldn't figure out where I was going to store him.
Wife and daughter were out of town so me and my son went to the movies and on the way back stopped at the thrift store and for $20 got these
My son wants to do something steam punk this year so I picked these guns and a light saber ($6)
Then I saw these candle holders, 2 matching candelabras and this other one I figured some drippy candles and a skull or dried head and my wife will have a nice centerpiece.
And what I think is the best find are these spice jars, the rack with 9 bottles was $7, the 2 skinnies were $1 a piece and the tall jar $1. All I have to do is make some labels and paint the rack, then witch potions are done.
I pick-up these "cut-ups" made my a local Mormon cartoonist named Chadwick Bagley.... http://www.mormonwiki.com/Val_Chadwick_Bagley (I'm not Mormon BTW) and they are made of heavy cardboard and are made to cut out and glue to posted board to make holiday posters. I got a 100 of the Full Moon Witches and 50 of a mix of the others. I also got 4 of his Christmas Manger one and one of the Winter Wonderland.
So much potential in that cart, Saki. Perhaps you'll be serving tea - or something stronger? - in that gothic garden of yours this year
I bought a wine glass well hand-painted with vines and white berries at GW. I really need to purge the glassware but this one's so nice I'm positive it will make the cute. Besides, gotta buy things like this when you see them, right?
