Barn Shopping

Over the weekend we took the kids to my father's house to pick out pumpkins and I went barn shopping. 

My fathers barns are full of so much stuff that I like to poke around looking for something that my father might want to part with.  

Of course my kids just love his wife Bonnie so much. 

 So while the kids were playing with Bonnie, and Mr. M. was taking a nap in the chair, I wandered around looking for treasures.

I found some!

I think my husband cringes a little every time we visit my father's because I ALWAYS come home with something. 

This was no exception.

Three pumpkins for the kids.  The red drawer I took with us to get repaired. 

 My father always has the right tools to fix anything.

I have been wanting a bird cage since I have been seeing them used as Halloween decorations.

Isn't it great!
I found it in my father's garage attic. My mom used to have a few birds as pets when we were little and this must from then.

The best part is; I don't even have to paint it.

Perfectly black and my crows have already moved in.

These are some Pee Gee Hydrangeas from their gardens.
 I am hoping to make a wreath, I saw a beautiful one at The Fairfield House and I thought one would look nice on my door too.

I thought I was done with this post this morning, but I made a visit to my favorite Sally shop and I found a few more treasures I thought I would share with you.

Don't you just love that mantel! 

 It is huge and I am not sure where it is going, but after it is painted WHITE I will surely find a room that it will be great in.

The tall lamp, it works, but I don't care. 

 I didn't bother to tell the teller that I only wanted the bottom.

Seriously, why else would I buy it? 

I already dismantled it and I think it is going to make a great Christmas tree base.
 Yep, I am one of THOSE!
  The people who think of Christmas all year.

The other little trinkets are to be used for Halloween decorations.
Don't even think I am done decorating for Halloween yet. 
The kitchen island is packed full of spiders, skeletons and other oddities to craft with. 
Hopefully I will be mostly done this weekend and then I will concentrate on the menu.

 My costume is finished.
Nope, you can't see until after the party guests, there is chance I may just win one of my own trophies this year.

Have a great day!
