I can't believe how many of you have Christmas decorations up already! I wish I did! But, with all the warm weather we've been having here in New England (Today was 65F/18.5C, and my Fairy Rose bush is still blossoming!), I really don't feel like it. I can't imagine living in a warm climate year-round!
I love getting sidetracked sometimes. I was all set to post this around 1:45 this afternoon when Mister said, "Let's go to the thrift store". So we went and I got some cool stuff to show you!
My camera is still not working properly. Non-flash shots come out white, like over-exposure. Flash shots have horizontal lines throughout. I have no idea what these are all about. Here we go:
How about this wooden cherries garland? I LOVE it, of course! A pretty Teleflora compote with roses, and a figurine of a girl (or angel) playing a red flute. The "wings" are giant bows that go with the jacket she wears.
This is the Scripture on the front of her dress:
A pretty gold and roses Lefton plate, a wood box that once had Christmas cards in it, and a box of small red candles. A happy day for me!

Words that my husband has never spoken to me: Let's go to the thrift store! He would go if I asked him to, but it would NEVER be his idea first. Wonderful finds, especially that cherry garland!
Happy REDnesday,
Carol
Those words would be music to my ears, don't think I will from my hubby. The little figurine is darling, love the poem. It's cold here today in the 30's so I'm feeling Christmasie.

Thank you for hosting! LOVE your blog. Your figurine and basket are adorable!
Your hubby picked the right time for shopping. All your items are great finds. Do not feel bad, I have nothing up for the holidays and probably want. It is hard to get excited about it when you are alone.
Hi Sue, I love the cherry garland. It is so cute! I have that same teleflora dish. Have had it for a few years and I really like it. I plant paperwhites in it. They are actually in my post that I linked with you today. Hope it cools down a bit for you.
Amen, Sue! The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice!
The garland is darling. Red is such a wonderful color....year round!
I would be outside too if we had your nice temps and weather. Rain here on and off so perfect time for me to do a little decorating over the holiday. Great sweet finds at the thrift store. Love the garland.
Thanks for hosting.

Thanks for this lovely and encouraging post. The top vintage greeting card is so adorable. And isn't it wonderful the way God will put encouraging Bible verses in front of you, just when you need them! That's what He did with your Scripture. Thank you :)
So much red this time of year, so much fun to link up to your very special Rednesday party - thanks for hostessing!

Hi Sue! I have missed you and Rednesday. I mkiss calling and getting a call. Have been soooo busy with Dad and now Mom, but she's better. Hope all has been fine with you and all. Love those thruft finds. I love that Teleflora redware cutwork bowl. It was a popular container/flower gift but remember it's not food safe use a liner inside if you use it to serve anything...a small mixing bowl shud fit 8o)
I can't wait to show my hubby this post! Could I possibly convince you to come out to Idaho to re-train my hubby! If he ever came home early and said let's go to the thrift shop, I would faint dead away!!! You are a very lucky girl!! Thanks for hosting and I love today's thrift shop finds too.
Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
I am with Carol...may I hear the day my husband calls from the other room "Honey, lets go to the thrift store!" I think I would pass out! Thanks for hosting...love your buys. Smiles...Renee
Oh, I love to hear those words from the hubby! You found some great treasures. Love those wood cherries! Thank you for hosting and have a wonderful day!
Love your cherry garland! Sorry about your camera and your warmer weather! It does have to be cold to put me in a Christmas decorating mood! Thanks for hosting Rednesday!
My hubby would be out shopping every free minute if I didn't keep him busy when he is off....LOL!!
Thanks so much for hosting!
It hit in the 60's here in Pa. Weird weather, huh?
Hugs,
Debbie

Love your cherry garland! So perfect for you!
My man loves to thrift and can last longer than me but the only draw back to that is that I have to share the thrifting MONEY with him! ♥

I especially love your graphic ... a pony-drawn cart pulling "persons of snow" ... sweet! I'm digging through my old postcards to post some seasonal cards.
Oh I love the Scripture on that sweet little figure! What great photos you are sharing.
