Who Doesn't Love a Happy Pumpkin?!

Last night I went to the thrift shop since they always pack the shelves full on Friday nights to get ready for Half-Off Saturday and I like to get first dibs the newly set out stuff.  For whatever reason, the stuff I buy always has a yellow tag, and I knew that yellow wouldn't go on sale tomorrow, so I felt a little better about paying full thrift price.  But seriously, what the heck is going on with the prices?!  I saw another Pyrex piece that had been dishwashered to death  (may it rest in peace) with a tag that should have gone on a perfect piece!  Freaking nuts!  That's all I have to say.  Freaking Nuts!!!
Anyway, now that my little rant is over, I'll share some of my finds for the booth.  Only a few more weeks till I'm out of the ghost town where my case is!  Wooohoo!

This aluminum shelf will be used to help display items.  I found that the booths with lots of layers drew my attention, so I'm going to take a crack at that.
This black panther planter is super cool and in great shape.  Maybe one or two chips, but they aren't even noticeable.  It has rhinestone eyes that will sparkle again with a good scrubbing.

Don't you love this little deer!  Hanna over at The Adventures of Two (Pyrex Crazy) Thrifting Sisters found a bunch last week, so I think that is what drew me to this one.  








Now these tin containers are killing me because I love them and want to keep them, but dangit I don't need a canister set!  I'm thinking about using them to store buttons...am I reaching?










I've been making eyes at this pumpkin for a week now, and finally gave in.  I'm glad I did, she is really cute and will look great on my table.  That's right, I'm keeping her!

I delved into the world of yard sale stalking this morning.  I got there at 7, and waited around to start looking until they were mostly set up at 8:15.  I would have waited until they were ready, but some guy came in and started grabbing so I panicked.  More on my finds tomorrow!

Going to go join the lovely ladies and gents over at How Sweet the Sound for Pink Saturday.  Have a great day everyone.
