Hey Guys!

I don’t think I’ve taken a moment to ask you how your Halloween was? It’s been a busy week here what with 2 giveaways going on right now, and a third tomorrow! If you want to check them out, there’s a shot at $50 to minted.com here and $75 worth of DIY and craft supplies from yours truly here. And then all of the insane work going into the bathroom remodel (there’s tons of thrifted goodies I’ve been holding back but I can’t wait to start sharing them next Thursday!). We didn’t even do a proper Halloween. My kid sat with a bowl of candy on my mom’s porch perplexed why he had to give it to other kids.

But, by the looks of things on Instagram, it looked like there was a lot of fun going on. Sandra from @vintausshop shared a sweet photo of her daughter in a vintage ballerina costume. What an amazing find! There certainly wasn’t anything that cool at my thrift store. And the makeup is adorable!

And then check out this jolly skeleton decor @mariaski63 scored. And I love the way she set him up for the photo. Very reminiscent of dia de los muertos decor I’ve seen. My mom has had several of these paper skeletons with the movable joints over the years. So nice this one made it’s way to a new home instead of a trash bin!

What about this aviator costume from Hayley? Isn’t it phenomenal? Everything but the cap came from the thrift store, but she mentions the cap came with a bit of ingenuity so all around a stellar costume!

And the last Halloween themed feature I have for you today is this beautifully ominous vignette from @creativelicence. I am enjoying the black and white. I spy what looks like vintage milk glass, which I normally wouldn’t associate with Halloween, but it’s been paired perfectly in this set up.

And because I just simply could NOT let this #thriftscorethursday pass without showing off this BEAUTIFUL sofa spotted by @theeventmaker. It would have come home with me. My husband wouldn’t have said anything aloud and all would have been magical with the world.

And that’s it from me on this beautiful #thriftscorethursday! I’m skipping sharing a find of my own this week because I don’t have a finished (or almost finished) bathroom to show them off in. And I really want the full effect! So, I’ll see you next week?

Don’t forget to stop by all of the fab hosts today. We have awesome guest hosts this week, so be sure to visit them, too and check them out! Have a great day and happy thrifting!

Hey Guys!

It’s the Thursday before Halloween and that means a couple of things for #ThriftScoreThursday. 1. We love any reason to get thrifty. Save a costume from a landfill, create a unique one from finds at the thrift store, or just spice up your seasonal decor with all the one of a kind treasures. Share those finds with the #thriftscorethursday hashtag on Instagram because we are 2. Planning a thriftily Halloween feature palooza next week. And 3. We have a plethora of awesome guest cohosts today to help spread the word about this fun feature.

My find. I’m not a Halloween person. I think the concept is weird (why are kids allowed to take candy from strangers one day a year?) and I don’t enjoy dressing up. I don’t find short term seasonal decorating fun for anything but Christmas (and that’s because I start the day after Halloween). But, I found the most adorable little piece. Like, seriously so adorable. (And I think if you do enjoy Halloween you should absolutely save castaways from the landfill!)

…

This little ghost head is too cute. He’s got an opening in the back for I’m thinking a tealight. I like the idea of using him as an incense burner and just picked some up last night. He’ll look charming with smoke coming out his eyes!

Features this week are the usual non themed thrifty finds because we’re doing a whole party of features next week. But you can peep in on all items tagged right in the #ThriftScoreThursday feed! Here’s what caught my eye:

Erica Reitman is always killin’ it. Always. Like I probably feature her every week. Here are two of her finds that blow me away.

And then there’s this wall hanging couch situation going on at Anna’s crib. *heart eye emoji*

And then I have to have this amazing pink horse piggy bank. This is ridiculously awesome, right?

Don’t forget to stop by all of the fab hosts today. All our awesome guest hosts are linked at the beginning of this post and below you can find your regular hosts. Have a great day and happy thrifting!
