What's In The Jar?

One of my Favorite Treats to myself

Is to spend a few hours walking through an antique mall

For some reason it brings comfort

As well as a flood of wonderful memories

Of hours spent with my Hubby searching for just the right 

Item that needed to come home with us

We Loved to antique together 

It's one of the things I miss most

A few weeks again I needed a mental health day

I took a day off work

And headed to one of my Favorite antique malls

"Merchant Square"

I had no plan, no list, no time frame

Just a few hours to walk around and 'be'

A little while into my visit

I spied this old time bobbin/spool of orange thread

I didn't think I had a use for it

Until I remembered the glass jars I purchased at a yard sale

A few weeks before

 

I picked up the bobbin and began a quest for just the perfect

Set of items to hang out in one of my glass jars

During the Fall Season

 

As you can see

I began finding some really cute things

I started with the bobbin

Then found the Bat Cookie Cutter for $1

And then the orange marble for 75 ¢

 

I loved the packet of pumpkin seeds 25 ¢

 

This adorable little Christmas book 

Just screamed my name

A little pricey at $5 

But I needed it ☺

 

Then I found the perfect fall hankie $1

And a little container of orange sequins 75 ¢

 

I got the pumpkin salt/pepper shakers

At my brothers garage sale $1

I already had the piece of fabric that I folded and tied with some black ribbon

And I had purchased the orange necklace a few years ago at Savers

I painted some pumpkin faces on it and wore it for halloween

SO, That's what's in the JAR this year

I truly enjoyed my fun day and finding these pieces

The other jar is filled with orange and white confetti

That I've had in the garage for a few years

 

And now Just Because

I took the photo the other day

It's how my son takes his fall naps

Pumpkin Pillow over his face

HOW do you sleep like that???

Happy Halloween All
