Thrifty Thursday #136, Plus a Halloween Tablescape

Hi! It's Thrifty Thursday! I am your host, Leigh. Thank you so much for stopping by and additional thanks to those who also participate in Thrifty Thursday! I am most delighted to have you join in..for it's YOU who makes it a "show and tell party".

(You can click on any pictures for a closer view)

*Thrifty Thursday takes place each Thursday and is hosted here at Tales from Bloggeritaville, but the party is a progressive one, visit the links to see all the Thrifty Thursday links to see the thrifty treasures participating bloggers have to share.

*Don't forget to copy and paste the Thrifty Thursday logo button to your computer so you can add it to your side bar and your Thrifty Thursday post. That way visitors will know that your are participating in Thrifty Thursday.
Now onto Thrifty Thursday....

I found these whimsical lanterns at the thrift store for $6.88 for the pair....



I put them on my mantel, although I don't think this is where they will stay. This was just for photographing purposes. Big Daddy would rather you notice his big eyesore..uh! I mean TV! yeah, TV.
Ahhh, who am I kidding. Its a monstrosity of an eyesore.
What is it when men at their TV's?
But I digress....
I just love the lanterns! I cannot stop looking at them!


I wonder how many times I can say the word "Whimsical"?
"Whimsical"?
"Whimsical"?

 "Whimsical"?
Yes?


And THAT is the Thrifty Thursday post for this week...

What "CHEW" got?

Nice link party! It's my first time here, and so I shared the story of my $1000 house. It took me about a year to do all the rennovations (borrowed tools and scavenged materials, woot woot!) and now I have a great place to live and no mortgage! http://www.clickclackgorilla.com/2010/12/01/were-not-in-russelsheim-anymore-toto/

Cheers!
