So tacky and I'm LOVING them!!

On Saturday, the girls and I made a donation run to our local Goodwill. Always on the hunt for a few vintage holiday items, we perused a few aisles of the store. These two illuminated pilgrim figurines came home with me.

The sales woman told me that just a few minutes earlier, the illuminated turkey was sold. I swear I would have bought him too!! My front porch was looking a little bare after our Halloween "thunder" was put away.

I also have plans for my "special sunroom" tree too. It's getting a Thanksgiving makeover. It won't be as elaborate as my Halloween tree, but just you wait!

  3. I don't think that they look tacky at all! So maybe in the store they look a little odd, but they look adorable on your porch!

  5. Hey Kim,
    I really like the new header...The pics of the girls are great! (But, of course they are always great!)

    Love your finds and creations. . .and Mr. and Mrs. Pilgram aren't tacky at all! They are a great addition to your porch decor. When I find second-hand treasures, I always wonder about their previous owner. Do you think about that, too?

    Have a great week!

  7. NOTHING from Goodwill is tacky! They're 'unique' finds :)

    Can't wait to see your Thanksgiving tree!
