Thrifting

 These candles were still in the original box. I need to add some greenery to the plate. They are sitting on my kitchen counter. Kind of scruffy but cute.
I have a collection of Christmas snow globes. This one was in the box. It is a "Party Lite" item that probably cost about $50-$60 new. It was 3.99 . It has a special little spot for a tea-light on top. Love it.

I have my Christmas village all set up. I found this school and about 6 pieces that go with it....still in the box. Had to have it. Love it.

 These are just a few of the Santa's I collect. The one in the middle at the front with the sleigh and reindeer is ceramic. It looks like it could be old. There is a sticker on the bottom but I cant read it. But he sure is cute...and only $1.99. Love it.
 Wednesday a bunch of us are getting together to make centerpieces from real spruce boughs. I thought these candles (not ever lit) would look nice in the middle. All I need is some ribbon and a few shiny ornaments.
The other day I stopped at a thrift store. It is quite far from my home but I was in that end of the city so I stopped to see the Christmas stuff. I came home with tons of stuff and it is very, very reasonably priced. Here are some of my treasures. I don't think any of them are vintage but I love them.
