Here's a thrift haul from some picking on a random Wednesday afternoon! I scored at Goodwill, a local charity shop and a yard sale! I hope you get inspired watching me transform one of my favorite thrift finds of the day! Make sure you tick the notification bell to on my friends! Lots of love!! -Elizabeth

I have also found little Bible learning things. I used to collect Noah’s ark pictures and toys or craft things. We spent fifty years collecting and changing from one thing and then another.

I like to watch you in your young years doing what we did My husband travel on his job so I went with him a lot and hit the antique shops. Love those rosettes. Looks like you shop on a budget like we did but had lots of fun. Like your house. We never got the old house we wanted.

We decorate for All Saints Day and All Souls Day, so just no witch craft stuff, but Fall and all isn't so bad for us! It is the end of the traditional Christian Calendar too! Technically Christmas fell on pagan winter solstice rituals so it's just how you look at things! We give out candy in our neighborhood and just have fun and we are still trying for baby #1, so it's just nice to enjoy the weather and season!!

God bless you so refreshing to see a Christian woman unafraid to stand up and be what God intends us to be !

How great to hear that you do not celebrate Halloween and avoid bringing anything that even hints at evil into your household! We do the same. I think many people disregard what the Bible says about such things.

Maybe exchange "bats" for primitive style "crows".......much more harvest time themed. I'm repulsed by Halloween.

Hi Sara, I used to love Halloween, but over the last few years, I have felt very convicted to not participate.

@@oldmaplehome it is the same for our family. I'm thankful to have felt that conviction before my kids really participated in any related activities. We explain to them why we do not celebrate Halloween of course.

I haven’t celebrated Halloween since I was saved in 1982. I used to teach a home Bible study to elementary kids, and I’d have a big party on Oct 31 during trick or treating. We’d discuss what it really meant and what the Bible said. We’d play games and I had lots of goodies for them to eat. Seems the decor and imagery are getting worse every year. I appreciate the verse you always share at the end and your stand on Halloween.

Idea: You can use 2 of the wooden Rosettes, to make a long , narrow drawer, and just nail some wood on the sides and the bottom. You could use an antique, glass door knob on it end of it. ❤️

I love your chatting lol. Your style is simply exquisite 👌

Hi Elizabeth ~ Oh my goodness, can’t pick a favorite! First it was the Mirror you did, then it was the pillow covers, then it was the wicker/metal cloche top…..then oh my THE BUCKET OF ARCHITECTURAL PIECES!!!! Oh how I love those! What a deal . I used to wait to decorate for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving for years. Then last year I got new garlands, wreaths and picks that are the “Real Touch Norfolk Pine”…. I decorated the 1st of November and left it up until the end of February. Living in snow country I considered it “winter decor”. We don’t have anyone for Thanksgiving,just my husband and I , so I decided I’m going to take my time and decorate the beginning of November. The pine, velvet ribbons, old brass bells and many Nativity sets. I didn’t even have a Christmas Tree up. YUP… it took a lot of SELF THERAPY to get through it…… but only our oldest daughter, her husband and daughters come late on Christmas night. It actually felt better emotionally to have it that long, I totally enjoyed it all! This house is big and was always full of family for every Holiday,but after both parents died 19 1/2 years ago, everyone does their own thing ….yes I have cried through many Holidays missing family. But last year was good. It felt or I have accepted the new “normal” I guess! Well there is my 2 mins chatting …sorry! But how I love your home, your style, your sweet personality! God bless and have a beautiful week ! 🍁🍁🧡🍁🍁

Jayne - I loved your comment - I don’t have much family left, either - it doesn’t seem that long ago that I would have to squeeze in extra chairs at the table for Thanksgiving & Christmas dinners, but those days, sadly, are gone - I really don’t do a lot of seasonal decorating any longer - just mostly the dining room for my now small holiday dinners - years ago I made a family photo gallery in the dining room, though, so it is nice to look at the pictures from holiday dinners past and to feel that loved ones are still there - I’m fixing to make myself start crying now - lol - blessings & happy holidays to you from sunny Central Florida ! 🙏🥰

I loved the straw wreath, the rosettes, the pillow covers

Love the wheat wreath!!! That’s going to be fun for you to decorate with. That wicker cloche is super pretty too. Can’t beat the color of rich vintage wicker :)

I just love the architectural salvage & the mirror. Those were my favorites but everything you scored was awesome. Thanks for sharing. I also do not decorate for Halloween...this year I made an exception for a happy Jack-o-lantern & a smiling dog skeleton. I didn't feel any evil from these but I absolutely agree with not allowing evil into your home. The devil can take it & run with it!

Oh my goodness loved all your finds! I love the frame painted black on your picture! The transformation on the mirror is gorgeous! I also loved the Bible quotes. Great haul!

We don't celebrate Halloween either but also enjoy the fall season. Thank you for sharing your finds and how you style them in your home. Very inspiring! God bless you!

Maybe you could share the independently owned thrift stores in our area 🤔 I love and try to shop at smaller local stores its helpful in so many ways and I'm sure the stores would greatly appreciate it also 😊

Love the decorating and especially the Bible verse. I’m thinkin maybe your round velvet pillow could be used as a pumpkin by adding a real stem to it and nestled with other pumpkins around the fireplace(?) It kinda has that oversized squished real pumpkin look you see around...but don’t glue the stem on so you can still use it as a pillow, maybe double stick tape(?)

Love how the mirror turned out.
