Orange Heat For Halloween

Halloween is in full force in the dining room.

Orange has turned up it's heat here. 

In the living room all is white but not here.

 

 

 The copper cauldron is from last year but everything else we found this summer and fall.

We bought the Hemingway Hurricanes by Southern Living at Home at a garage sale Saturday. 

They were new in the box for ten dollars each.

I was happy to pay that price as I know how expensive they originally were. 

I really should sell them but I am keeping them.

 

Could these candles be any cuter?

I do not think so.

The polka dot creatures are called Kiddo Jack and Kiddo Kat and came from the Tuesday Morning store. I like them a lot because I almost never buy holiday decor from non-thrift stores.

Everything else including the copper cauldron is from second hand stores or garage sales.

This is how the table looked before we found the glass hurricanes.

This is the other side of the cauldron and our pumpkin filled cloches.

Do you decorate with orange for fall and/or Halloween?

A Before And After And McCoy

I promised to show some of the McCoy we have lately bought, for next to nothing, and I have a before and after.

That flat matte white bowl on the left is a 1930's unmarked McCoy. We found it last weekend at a church garage sale for three dollars. It is not in the best condition but I still felt like I won the prize.

 We also found a McCoy planter and a cookie jar sans lid on that day. This past Saturday I found a McCoy vase at another church sale. The church sales are working out really well.

Starting with the After shot.

This TV table made by Broyhill was also found last weekend for twenty-five dollars.

They had already painted it white which is good because it sits across from that massive dark buffet of ours. The large drawers are used to store table linens and I like that open pocket for books. Joe and I think this is a good re-use of a TV table.

The table works with our beachy rattan furniture.

Way over there in the window is the yellow McCoy planter. 

I do not know why I didn't take a close up of it.

Before shot taken Christmas 2010.

This chest is fake wood and too small for that wall.

The Broyhill is solid wood.

If you are patient you will find what you are looking for by shopping the thrifty way.

Estate sale finds from Saturday

 

 

The hand painted tray was $7.50. I bought it to sell it but I really like it and the more I look at it the less likely I am to sell it.

The little topiary tree and burlap pillow are Goodwill finds. I know I have told many of you that I broke up with Goodwill last year. A new Goodwill opened, near the yellow house, with a book store and the prices seem to be more reasonable so I am dating the Goodwill again.

I need to find one more tray.

Joe and I have bought a lot of books from Borders, which is closing, and they are taking over the hearth, the room, and the house.

Joe found two very large fish bowls of shells for $12.00. We had a lot of fun sorting through them. I was able to fill a large cloche with the smaller ones.

Some small coral was included....be still my heart.
