Thrifty Witchy Finds

The hubby and I stopped in a Thrift Store yesterday and found a couple of witches and a pair of monks. We also stocked up on some really nice flannel shirts for the boys and warm sweaters for everyone. A chill is in the air!
Note here: The hubby told me "NO!" to the $40 vintage upright player piano. (You had to move the piano yourself.) See, he's mean to me!!! Spoiled Queen talking here, LOL! Oh and as I'm telling how mean he is... he says I can get a puppy ONLY when I get rid of all three cats!!! We'll see about that one:) Humph! Okay on to the thrifty photos.

A Kitchen Witch Set.

Salt and Pepper shakers... I love the S and P's on their head scarves:)

Have any guess as to what this tall witch is for?

At first I thought she was a utensils holder, right? But the holes are so low, cut straight in and go all the way around her. I put a large spoon in her and it stuck out rather oddly. It couldn't be a utensil holder.

We thought about a tea light candle holder but.... the holes are much too small to get a tea light in and then to try and light it, no way!

So I'm clueless as to what she's for. If anyone has a guess I'd appreciate it!

A 1987 Wizard Air Freshener Witch still in her package. She doesn't smell "harvest fresh" anymore but she glows in the dark! Well, she is 22 years old now.

Two monks/ Salt and Pepper Shakers

I think the fat one has had more than his share of the daily bread!

Thrifty Finds...

Today Autumn and Kevin held a yard/estate sale at Kevin's grandparent's home. His grandparents are past now and Kevin's mom told the kids they could sell the stuff from the garage and basement that Autumn helped clean out and keep the money. So I went to help out a good cause:) Autumn only charged me $10 for all of this, but I wrote her a check for $20. I also stopped at a sale in my neighborhood and bought a old table covering and a little turtle.
Here are my thrifty finds;

Blue & white tea towel, 4 cute drink coasters, paper lace, turtle, pipe box

A sweet bird plate from Germany

Close up of the leather pipe box.

Revolutionary War soldier coat rack made by Yorkraft Inc. York, Pennsylvania

for Noah's room and a little wooden nut cracker. (no-no, not for Sniffy!)

Old sheet music and clock works for art projects.

Autumn found a dead dragonfly and saved it for our nature table.

Beautiful hand thrown pottery made by Kevin's mom. Two cinnamon scented candles, two little glass jars and the table cover.

Here's Noah with his thrifty finds; (He had this whole business man thing going on)

An old hat, a brief case filled with "How to... Business" type books and part of an old phone??? I guess that's his cell phone.

Charleton Park/ Flea Market and Historic Village

Saturday we met up with Autumn and Kevin at Charleton Park which has a historic Village. They were also having a flea market that day. Bonus! But the museum part was closed which is weird for a Saturday. That was disappointing because it has a bunch of Civil War artifacts.

We had a good time walking in and out of the historic homes, businesses and the school house.

This jail cracked me up!

My Flea Market Finds:
I love this pitcher! $3 Nesting mixing bowls, $7

My Lastest Thrifty Find...

Can you believe it?

$1.99 for a picnic for two basket found at the Good Will! It has a nifty takeout wooden insert in the bottom. It's handmade and signed by the weaver from the Royce Craft Basket Company out of Ohio. Which is now unfortunately out of business.

~I'm thinking a quiet picnic for two... would be lovely!
