Thread: Thrift store finds today and decorating.

Tweet

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I just love all the great Ideas everyone has! This is by far the best Halloween forum I have found.
Anyway, I shop year-round at my locate St Vincents and also a Hospital auxillary run thrift store in the town I work in. I went today and found some awesome stuff on my lunch break. I got a wedding dress with veil for $6, a cool
lavendar ball gown for $4(not sure what i'll do with it yet) plus a huge cauldron for $1.50 and a black wicker basket with wooden bat details for $1. I spent like $40 total, but got tons of stuff. Our thrift stores keep their prices pretty cheap. I like to pick up glass bottle for my witch potions year round and never pay more that $2 for any of them.

I have my dining roon decorated already. Will post pictures. Can't do the outside until closer to Halloween as I will have to keep our puppy tied up until I take them down or she will chew up everything! (We live on a dairy farm in the country).

Welcome ScardyCat! I love thrifting as well. You can pick up all sorts of unique goodies for really cheap prices. I'm jealous that you found a wedding dress with a veil for $6 though! I'm getting married next month and haven't lucked into finding a veil at any of my thrift haunts.

So far I have scored a ghost cookie jar for $6, some really old bottles for my labels that I spent between 49 cents and 2 dollars on and some cute Halloween tins to decorate with.

Welcome! Thrifting ROCKS!!! Can't wait to see what you do with the wedding dress. Congrats of your finds!

Welcome to the HalloweenForum, ScardyCat! I also love thrifting. I am somewhat obsessed with it and I think I go into withdrawal if I don't go for a few days! You got some great items.

Welcome, great finds. Can't wait to see the pics.

welcome this is a great place to visit. I love thrift stores and yard sales! You get the best stuff! I picked up some huge parrot type of wings for .50!
