Halloween
I finally got my Halloween decorations up this last weekend. I'm pretty happy with my new "window display". I got the window last year at Junkfest for $5. The middle pane was broken out so I just removed that one. It's been sitting in the garage for over a year so I finally got it in the house and thought it would look good with some Halloween decorations.
Of course everything is super thrifty. I got the ribbon at a thrift store recently for 75 cents. At the time I didn't know what I would do with it, but I liked the colors. The round silver piece is actually the lid of a frozen juice container. The scrapbook paper is from Wal-mart that was in a pack of 5 or 6 Halloween prints for 97 cents. And the letters are from the dollar store in Mandan.
I love this skull. I found it at a thrift store for a dollar. It's actually really ugly and scary looking. Perfect for Halloween. I got the Hamlet book in a box of books at an auction earlier this year.

My thinking spot
This is one of my favorite spots in the house. It's our back entryway. I like to sit here with a good book and relax. And hide from the kids. 
My favorite thing about this room, is that everything has come from years of searching. The great thing about thrift stores, rummage sales, etc. is that you'll never know what you'll find. And I love that you can't find this stuff at Target or some other big box store. My other favorite thing: the price. This room came together much cheaper than if I bought everything new too. So here's what my room cost me:
The white bench: $30-thrift store
Picnic baskets (which makes for great storage totes): can't remember exactly but together less than $15-thrift stores
Pillow cover(It's Washington, D.C., kind of hard to see)-25 cents-thrift store
Flag-$5-thrift store
Flag picture-$5-auction
And pulled together, doesn't this look much better than new stuff?
And the best art around provided by my kids. Sometimes I feel like such a bad mom because I don't display their artwork. I thought this was the perfect spot to display some of their best work. They love having their work displayed too.
