okay, i know it's only september, but for all of those who know me well, know that next to christmas, fall & halloween are my absolute favorite times of year to decorate. i've already put out some fun halloween stuff--also with some new treasures i found at the thrift store...that fun "dessert" plate--LOVE the colors!! & the tiny jar i found & filled with black buttons...
and my fun vintage pumpkin man who has a cord in him & lights up~!! he was only .99!!! he makes me smile. (yes, i'm wearing a tank top & holding a fall object--it's so bloody hot!! in september!!! yucky!!)
then this....this old tin box (remember i'm a sucker for these, right??!) anyways...i was sooo excited when i saw this...i had been standing in line outside the thrift store--it was the 1/2 off everything day, so there were a LOT of people. so, the doors opened, & it was mayhem!! i grabbed my cart & my eyes were frantically looking everywhere, assessing all the goodies that lay before me...when i spied this little beauty on a bottom shelf. i zoomed over to it & grabbed it & threw it in my cart. woohoo!!! i didn't even open it until i got home & was pleasantly surprised to find that it must have been a cash box of some kind--it has fun little compartments, & all that stuff. no money, but it didn't matter--LOVE the color--& the tin, the vintagey-ness of it...it's amazing how old stuff makes me so happy. :) don't ya love my little crow on top?? sooo halloweeny!!!

You have a blog?! Why didn't I know about this? Now I can be a "cyber bully" and harass you online! Way to much fun.
So sad about TOM. Although, to be honest, it wasn't the same after you left anyway.
If you ever need someone to go "treasure hunting" with let me know!
I miss you!
