some 'new' decor purchases

10 years ago

Two friends and I went to the antique mall and I found some Holiday decor to bring home. Obviously not antique, but who cares. :o) Tho this "wild turkey" pair, think they are turkeys, might be old. I got them both for $8.

Metal Witch Boots candle-holders....loved these! And the pair was $10. The owl was $4. He's got kind of a purple tint swirled in the black and is very sparkly. I BETTER decorate for Halloween or my daughter is liable to confiscate the boots as she likes witch stuff too.

I wish I'd remembered to take a photo of a wonderful Elf Santa I found. He is soooo neat, and has a little frog prince sitting on his shoulder. The frog and the Elf are
ceramic or porcelain, and his body is poseable. Jason's wife loves cute frog things and I bought this for her....but boy, its a good thing I love her so much. I really was super tempted to keep it!! It was only $7....what a steal I think.
I'll see if Jason can take a pix for me, otherwise might have to wait till Xmas decorating if she's already put it away with her stuff.

hugs, Karen

Ohhh I like what you got Karen!
From what I see running thru our woods...those are
turkeys. Great price for the pair.
I LOVE the metal Witch Boot candle holders - very different, and the
owl - hmmm purple swirled in the black.....seems these were made with you in mind! lol
Look forward to seeing them out at Halloween.

Great finds! Those turkeys are very interesting. Lots of detail. Also love the owl and witch's shoes! I love owl decorations, and so does my grandma. Witch's shoes are so cool for Halloween, it is actually one of my handmade card designs this year:

Thanks for sharing! I hope I can find some good bargains soon too :)

KAREN, I wonder if I threw out some corn, your turkeys could fly to NC? I love them. Are they as large as they look in the pic. Almost as large as the wild one I saw yesterday. Your halloween treasures are great finds too. I decided that I was going to paint one of my little villages from DT in black for halloween like the one on pinterest. I used green and purple glitter paint in spots. I"m not finished yet, but I think it will be cute.

Janet, the male turkey is about 10" high. I took the photo of them on my bathroom counter, not the floor, so
not as big as you thought. I think your Halloween Village will turn out wonderful with the glitter added. :o)

My daughter saw the witch boot candleholders today and loved them. So I let her take them (her birthday is Monday, so made a nice little extra gift along with the planned gift card).

I got a picture of the Christmas Elf that I gave my DDIL, so here he is. He's about 18-20".

Love those turkeys, Karen. They'd be right at home with mine, and the ones that frequent the field behind my house.
And do i like those witch boots? Oh yes I do! They would be perfect in my house, oh darn, you gave them to your DD
DD3 gave me an owl about 5yrs ago before they became so popular. I bring it out every year but I don't really feature it. I guess I should.
Loved everything Karen

SD your hand made card is so pretty.

Karen, so glad to hear you and a cpouple of friends went on a shopping spree. Even better to see your new finds! Sweet set of turkeys. DF's have 20 wild turkeys at their place and wish they'd fly the coop. However, I enjoy seeing them.

You've always liked witch boots. What a DM to give them to DD. The owl is a great find and will be so fun for your Halloween decor.

Oh the Santa Elf is adorable. Your DD knows she's got a DM who loves her with that find. I'm thinking I might be lucky that DD doesn't enjoy decorating for the Holidays right now! I just hope that one day DGD can convince her all my stuff is worth keeping.haha

All really neat finds! Glad you had some fun shopping time with your friends. Such a sweet Mom to part with both the witche's boots and the elf. Fun to put a smile on both the gals faces, huh?
