I was thrifting this week and found this sugar bowl for my mom... shes been collecting this set. i think its cool to find a sugar bowl with a lid. they are one of the things i collect. But this is Mom's
I went to my favorite second hand store yesterday, and I found a certain sour cream dish a certain someone has been looking for. We used to have the Mold to make this but it has vanished. Hard to believe it was just sitting there looking at me, with the same color paint on it i would have used!
I hope you have found something you like for this Halloween! I certainly have enjoyed bringing these ideas to you! I wont be posting tomorrow, I still have my costume to get ready! Now which one of theses am I gonna be? I am thinking "Static Cling"!
Cereal Killer
Attach little cereal boxes to a shirt, cut a slit in the boxes, glue in plastic knives into the holes, drip red paint running down from the knife hole in the box.
Basket of laundry...clean or dirty.
Wear sweat pants and sweatshirt if it is cold. Tights and a turtleneck if you will be in a warm building. Take an inexpensive (thin) plastic laundry basket and cut a hole in the bottom that you can fit through. Make it small enough so that is "sits" on your hips after you pull it over your head. Fill basket with laundry and pin a few dryer softener sheets to your sweatshirt. also an empty soap box adds a nice touch.
Day 3 for costume Ideas! I hope you are enjoying this!
Miss. America
Use a old bridesmaid dress of formal, add a pair of gloves, a tiara, some over sized jewelry, and heels. For the banner, a piece of wide ribbon, and write "Miss. America" in glitter. Perhaps a bunch of silk roses with a gold ribbon? old formal gowns if you don't have one normally run $5 at any thrift store on the off prom season. and a tiara for a 5 yr old from the local dollar store.
Day 2 for costume Ideas! I hope you are enjoying this!
The American tourist: Guys loud Hawaii shirt, shorts (if weather permits), Large straw hat. Gals bright loud dress, flats, big sun hat, straw bag. Don't forget to have a camera, and maps hanging out, and that look of being lost.
Guys can use a tourist bag, or even a duffel or camera bag, and gals can use the straw bag or a beach bag for their treats.
1960s Hippy: This one is hard, after all its all back in style! What is real, and what is costume? ;-) Tie die clothing, long wig (in the old days we called a "fall", sandals, headband, anything with fringe on it (vests, purse...) light colored sun glasses.
Sara over at I'm not Judging I'm Just Saying
Challenged everyone to come up with a costume that didnt have a ton of skin showing. So not to be undone by a challenge ...
Until Halloween I am going to be posting a few great ideas and how to do them.
Most Great costumes can be purchased at your local thrift shop. You will stay warm, wont spend a lot of money and you wont have to have your (for lack of a better word) "Private Parts" hanging out.
Look at what I drug home yesterday...
I don't have a use for it...
I don't know where to put it...
BUT IT'S FANTASTIC! and you can put anything in a basket... the purple is just a plus
I am starting to think that I don't just LIKE purple... maybe its an obsession. After all how many people have a Purple ironing board? Oddly I didn't even realize it was purple until last week.... I just thrift-ed it home.
I have been accused of buying things "because its purple" and I didn't realize it until today. I needed another basket like I needed a hole in the head.
My sister has got me on a search for vintage tablecloths. Well I found one.
but its purple....
Poses a problem... but just a slight one. I got to tell her I found one but she can't have it. but also on the plus side, she doesn't like purple the way I do.
I am not certain the Osmonds like purple that way I do.
