Thrifting For Halloween


Fabric $1. Owl Pumpkin $4. Glasses $1 each. Thermos $2.

Die-Hard Horror Fans Rejoice, our favorite time of year approaches! I distinctly remember clambering for the attic like a squirrel on crack at the end of every September, excitedly searching for the boxes full of Halloween goodies.


I actually don't have many Halloween decorations of my own, so this weekend I went on the prowl for some. I found cute bits and pieces, I'll cover the rest in future posts. The candy buckets above were .59 cents each. They're lit with small tea lights.



Other finds include a couple of retro craft books, an infamous career guide book, and a Japanese designed chicken trivet for my mom.

Check back this week for simple Halloween craft ideas and tutorials. None of them should take more than 20 minutes- after all, most of us don't have more than 20 minutes to work on crafts!

  7. Those are great glasses. I would have picked them up for that price.
    Except for the trivet (which is great) I have everything else in that photo, from before it was vintage. Always fun to see it is not the "trash" my son thinks I collect.
    I am compiling a list of Halloween events and posts on my art blog. If you want to add your upcoming crafting week, please come over and comment.
