Thrifted Halloween

 I like to check the thrift stores for Halloween decor as it makes good sense to reuse things and it is nice to support a charity.  Sometimes you can find some real treasures.  My preferred thrift store is the ARC.  They seem to embraced Halloween here more that Goodwill or Salvation Army.  They had some cute Halloween things just hitting the shelves when I arrived.

Cute Little Sign

Pirate skeleton band.   Love the jug of Hooch. 

I was tempted by this and even put in my cart  for a spell.  However, there was only one and in the end I decided I would rather not drink out of plastic.


I liked this but I do have a lot of it already.

This owl serving set was quite tempting but then I remembered that Baby M gave me skeleton servers a couple years back and I guess I do not need more.

These Beistle cut out were some retro fun but at $5 a pack I felt they were a little steep.



Sweet metal sign

Wacky Walmart pumpkins


As I passed on all of the above, what did I get. Well 2 pairs of Blue jeans.  I get a lot of Levis for 4 bucks at the ARC.  Plus the following cute items for the haunt:

a sign for my outdoor cemetery

Cocktail napkins new in the package that match some I already have

A cute candlelabra - just gotta redo the finish.  Glitter is not my favorite.

  2. Great finds. I have been passing on a lot of glitter items second hand only the candelabra looks like it will be worth it. Grabbed a little pile of goodies at the antique mall for under $20 yesterday.
