On The Work Table, and Goodwill Goods

 Hi Pals! :)
Thought I'd share a couple things that I've been working on...just a hint,
 to get you in "The Mood"!
I went to Michael's today just to see what else they've put out for Christmas. Cute stuff!
I didn't buy anything, but it was fun to look and it made me want to go home and make things.
 
Hey, did anyone see those big clip-on mushroom ornaments at Michael's yet? They're in a box of 8 I think. Soooo cute! I need to go back and use my coupon to get them. They'd be great on a wreath!
 
 Can you believe that she was at Goodwill? There were 4 of them, but the others were in poor shape.  That same day I also found a very old BINGO game!
 
 It says "Long Popular at Summer and Winter Resorts".
 
 No marking on these little dishes. Such cute colors though!
 
 This purchase makes me feel like an official hoarder.
But I thought it was kind of cool because
1.It's patriotic
 2. It's from 1977, the year I was born
3. It's marked JAPAN (not Made in USA of course)
4. Maybe it will sell on EBay for like $50!  Haa!
 
 Ahhhhh! What's happening to me????
 
 And a few pumpkins from Goodwill too. The candle in front is the largest Gurley I've ever seen!
 
The label was perfect so of course they had to go and put the price tag right over the word "Gurley".
Why do they always do that?
 
 Our little baby Drew (my niece) was baptized yesterday.  I could have held her forever!
 
Such a little baby doll.
 
OK- Hope you all have a great week!
Erica :)

  4. I can't wait to see what you create this year! I am super excited to add something to my Erica collection :-) Hopefully that didn't sound too creepy...

    I believe those cute bowls were cottage cheese containers and were promotional items made by Fire King. They are pretty dang sweet BUT not as sweet as the little baby. I'm in love!!!

  9. Erica, your little niece is so cute! How lucky to find that little Storybook doll at Goodwill. I've not see Gurley's that big either, but a nice fat pumpkin is perfect for this season.
