A Fall Thrifting Find and Vignette

It's been such a busy month for me, how bout you?

I told my hubby yesterday that I needed a clone of myself, so she could do

all those chores that seems to take up so much of my time...

and I could spend MY time doing what I love,
like decorating, shopping, creating, and blogging! 

 Do ever feel like that too?

I did manage to get a couple of Christmas makeover projects
and vignettes finished that I'm pretty excited about...

But before I show you them, I still a few Fallish things left to share.

Luck was shining on me yesterday when I made a quick stop at the local Goodwill...

First of all have you ever been browsing and then see someone else toting around something you would have probably arm wrestled them for?   Well thats just what happened when I saw a lady with this candle holder in her hands as well as a couple of faux berry candle wreaths.  After I walked around a few minutes looking at other things I discovered she had put the candleholder back!! Yippee!

She probably put it back because she didn't notice this glass hurricane

that was covered in dust and hidden on the back of a top shelf. 

Or maybe she just didn't want to touch it because it was so filthy! 

I often wear gloves in the thrift stores or keep a pair handy in my purse just for this reason. 
At any rate I stood there contemplating whether or not I should also purchase

the filthy hurricane to go with the candle holder,

I wasn't sure if the size was correct and kept thinking if only I had that candle wreath it would be perfect!

So I go up to the cashier and I ask for her opinion on how they look together,
and I tell her it I think it just needs a faux berry candle wreath...
Then just like a magician pulling a rabbit out of the hat, she then reaches down underneath her counter and,
pulls one up and says... you mean like this one?!

Uh... YES just like that one!! 

So okay, I'm thinking that same lady must have gotten up to the register and decided

she didn't need the two that she had been carrying around (or the cashier really was a magician!).

Isn't that something? 

 If I hadn't of said anything to the clerk, she would have never shown it to me.  

 Don't ya just love it when things work out like that!

As you can see the hurricane also cleaned up beautifully too!

Lucky me! 

This is my last Fall... I mean Autumn vignette for the year.

After all it IS still Fall...In fact winter doesn't even start until Dec. 22nd.

...and since we've been having beautiful sunny weather here, 

 I think I'll just savor Fall for as long as I can...

P. S.  Have you gotten your Thanksgiving shopping done yet? 

Hubby and I already made sure to get a couple of turkey's so far at 48 cents a pound

with each 50 dollar purchase at our local grocery store. 

I love those kind of deals, and am VERY grateful for them!

I just put the extra in the freezer and cook it later on in year! 

We are going to try and get one more turkey as well to donate to the local homeless shelter also...

Well friends,

I hope all is going well in your lives, and that you have much to be grateful for too!

Take care, and as always I'm VERY grateful for your visits and comments too!
