Apple Picking & Vist To The Thrift Store

Thanksgiving has come & gone for another year....we had such an enjoyable day and a delicious turkey dinner.....and did I mention pumpkin pies?   Great to have our family together...including this rascal....Ollie our grand dog!  Not sure how much chihuahua he has in him....I suspect quite a bit of terrier ...coming from a hoarding situation....we will never know!    He's about four months old now.....with the sweetest personality.....and those ears!!

We spent some time in a local apple orchard.....everyone is commenting on how small the apples are this year.....our favourite variety is MacIntosh.....delicious for eating, apple sauce and apple crisp!  Lack of rain has affected all the crops here.....from potatoes to blueberries....

At this point.....I had put together applesauce in the slow cooker....and an apple crisp!

I took a few minutes one afternoon while out & about....and popped into the thrift store.  I was pleasantly surprised how quiet the store was....especially for a Senior's Day Tuesday.   Except it was Wednesday.   I realized that after browsing for a while.....

This is a Willow Tree piece.....my nativity set is from Willow Tree.....I almost picked up this angel....I love the copper wings....

This also is Willow Tree....a lovely piece as well....

I should have  picked up these lanterns.....a set of three....I probably could have used them on the mantle at Christmas....if they are still there next trip I'll snag them......

This was a great piece.....the prices they are asking is insane...everything is donated.......no bargains to be had anymore.....

Had I needed another turkey platter......I likely would have sprung for this one.....even with an inflated price....

And lastly....the price on this dip platter.....would deter anyone from purchasing it.......or it did me....

That was about all that caught my eye.....I didn't have the opportunity to visit a second  thrift store near by....perhaps next week I'll do that....

Mr. Seventies spent some time planting tulips, daffodils and Iris.....only to have what we presume a skunk or two dig them up!  Thankfully he could replant most of them but did lose one tulip bulb to them....they are scavengers for sure.....

Thanks so much for spending time with me today....I hope you have an amazing weekend!  

Til next time.....
