What do you like to decorate with? That bucket of blood?

i went yard saling this morning and found a really REALLY LARGE happy halloween banner :)
Last night 'twas witching Hallowe'en
Dearest; an apple russet- brown
I pared, and thrice above my crown
Whirled the long skin; they watched in keen;
I flung it far; they laughed and cried me shame
Dearest, there lay the letter of your name!

We went yard saling yesterday but the only thing I found was a doll to use in my crockpot and a green bottle to melt a black candle over!
I did spend $50 at a toonie and loonies store..found a severed hand that is on a foam tray, wrapped in cellophane like a piece of meat, a pen that looks like a needle with blood in it, severed fingers, a skeleton that takes a glow stick, some floor/wall stickers, nylon face masks, some cool/funky sunglasses, some fingerless lace gloves..I'm sure there was more, just drawing a blank.

Here's the black cat decoration I mentioned in a different thread that I found at an Antique store: http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/uu89 ... 38cb9b.jpg
I know that's technically not a thrift store, but antique stores often have the same stuff, but mark it up higher than usual. This cat wasn't too badly priced though.

I also attended my neighbor's moving sale today, and got some great sun catchers, which not only included Halloween, but Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving. However, I'll just post the Halloween ones I found here:

(Not including the cat lol)

I had to get those little bears to add them to my collection of Halloween bears: http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/uu89 ... 176e71.jpg

I got this because it looked so cool:

And it lights up!

And a few other things...

I swear I go crazy whenever I see Halloween stuff at ANY time of the year. For some reason, there's something charming about seeing Halloween stuff in the spring time. Maybe because it's not as expected. I like fun surprises like that! XD
Along with a few kitcheny things like a pot for cooking pasta in that drains out the top, and some silverware, a few Christmas things, and I only spent $3 for the lot. Pretty good haul if you ask me. :D

Wow, Mau!

I really like the Sun catchers and the ceramic JOL.
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

Thanks Andy! Glad you like it. She said she's going to give me some more Halloween stuff as well.

lol Spooky if she didn't know she'll know now! I'm afraid that broom might be a little small though, it would take a tiny witch to fly this one. Not to mention it belonged to my neighbor/land lord, so I wonder how it ended up with me? XD Maybe it's like the one broom, sort of like the one ring deal?
