A Fun Christmas ThriftStore Haul!

 Hi and welcome! As the holidays swiftly approach we scamper about to decorate, bake and shop. As many know we had Hurricane Ian come through. It left many homeless and claimed many lives as the ocean water flooded most lands. I was fortunate to just have my storage sheds and porch flooded, the water never made it into the house although just another couple inches we would have lost everything. Unfortunately all my Christmas decor washed out to the flooded streets. 

I have always loved shopping the thriftstores in hopes of finding some Christmas vintage decor. So my son and I headed out to our local Goodwill  , we had a great time  shopping in thier Christmas department. We found some great treasures. Let's take a look.



First up a cute wood and iron sled. An oil painting ,a winter scene with a big surprise but we will talk about that later.
A very heavy iron lantern including a big candle for 5.99, a wooden reindeer   for 1.99
A cute pillow for 2.99,a tall wooden snowman for 1.99
A festive table runner, a bag of snowman, heart bowlfiller 
The first bag is a Pinecone garland for 1.99 also 1.99 for the snowman bowl fillers. Also a bag of pine picks for 2.99
This pretty candle holder sled was 1.99
A cute little polish girl handcrafted in Poland and a cute little pine tree .99 each
A cute wooden cutout candle holder 1.99
A new set of lights never used and a sign 3$ for 

I could resist these great pasta bowls 6 for 2.99. 

This is how I used some items so far


Snowmen bowl fillers
Pinecone garland and the pine picks works great on the dining room shelf.

After the thrift store we went to Hobby Lobby where we found all Christmas 60% off.A fun day spent. Thanks for letting us share our finds. 
Wondering if you also like to shop your local thrift stores? Never know what treasures you will find

                                Happy Thrifting

Food Jars Into HolidayDecor!

 Welcome sweet friends! We'll we survived Hurricane Ian with minor complications, we pray everyday for our neighbors near and far . Some who have lost thier homes, everything they own and much more.

If you have taken visits with us before you know I always say save those jars. You can make something so darn pretty! I had been saving the olive jars for a while. I turned my vision into something pretty today

My daughter was throwing away some clothes and I spied a black and white shirt that was perfect for the fabric wrap around the barrel shaped jar. Some raffia, christmas berry clusters I had on hand, added a tealight, painted the upper collar of the jar.and styled them up!

The best part is it's a great craft utilizing items on hand. You can use any fabrics, ribbons embellishments on hand to create your candle holder, also would make a really pretty, teacher or hostess gift.














I had such fun creating this craft today, I do hope you'll give it a try!

                          Happy Crafting
