Christmas loot

Christmas loot found

at the thrift store today.

Are you as excited to start decorating

for the holidays as I am?

Or are you a bah humbug?

I love this time of year...dh gets

to spend more time at home with us,

we love to do lots of baking, cooking and

just plain making happy memories.

I still have not decorated my

space at the emporium...gasp...I know...

it's been crazy but now that I have

more time you will see more of me

at the emporium!!

Come visit us and check out

all the items I bought today.

Life is good,

Washstand and Chandy

I have been eyeing this wash stand

for the last couple of days at the estate sale and

after much deliberation, it was

paid for and now stands pretty

with my ironstone.

Ugh...please help me...

I am undecided on which

chandelier I like better...

The one above has more chunky crystals

with lots of hard lines.

I didn't add the needed crystals/lights just

in case it comes down this weekend.

This one has more brass but lots

of crystal strands and prisms.

It's more foo fooey...

What do you all think?

Santa and JD box

A couple of items I bought

at this weeks estate sale.

This is a cute Santa Claus apron

with a large tablecloth

and two candy cane napkins.

Keepers? Not sure yet...

I was wishy washy on this Jack Daniels box

but finally decided to bring it home.

It's going in one of my boys rooms.

The estate sale we are working on is super

amazing...you will see more come home at

the end of the sale.

Life is good,

Sylvia

Happy November

Did you all have a Happy Halloween?

We enjoyed watching our youngest

carve his pumpkin all by himself,

then I spent the rest of the evening

taxing my oldest back and forth..lol

I am sad to see the month of October

gone...do I have to put my Halloween

decor away???

Can I hide a couple of skeletons

in the Christmas tree...maybe put

some Christmas hats on their bony heads..

yes???

OKayyyy....

then it's Christmas time

with a little Thanksgiving in between.

DH mentioned he wanted to start

putting up lights early this year...

wonder if next weekend is a bit early..lol

Jingle bells...jingle bells...hmmmm..hmmmm

No Bah humbug here!!!

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween...

bottle and bottle opener

A couple more items

from the last estate sale.

Unopened Bols Ballerina bottle is pretty darn cute,

the ballerina twirls and dances to music

inside the bottle.

The bottle is at

The Antique Emporium.

I added this four eyes bottle opener to

our small collection.

These are keepers for sure!!!

Estate sale goodies

My estate sale goodies for last week

is this super cute little

mid-century rice paper lamp.

Works great too!

haha...just when I get away they pull

me back in...couldn't pass up

these cloth vintage suitcases.

I've been watching the PANAM  t.v. show

and just love how they walk with

their little white gloved hand

up in the air and their PANAM

bag hanging from their other arm.

The red bag is TWA.

I was so excited to get this

little lighted tree...I've had

other opportunities to purchase

one but someone else always wanted it more

than I did.

It does have a little light missing

so I am on the hunt for one.

Some of these goodies will be

at

The Antique Emporium

625 Florida Ave.

Cocoa, FL
