Part of the fun of going to a thrift store is wondering what special treasure might be found.
Because of now living in a very small apartment, any kind of purchase requires great discernment.
However, lo and behold, one of my last thrift store jaunts revealed the most adorable hand-painted, tin decoration.
Its tag had 69 cents on it.
There are three skeletons behind a little glass-fronted door, so it's just in time for the upcoming spook holiday.
It is painted the prettiest shade of dark blue with perky yellow and red dot flowers.
This little ditty looks absolutely adorable on the "room," or "bathroom" wall. (I love calling a bathroom a powder room. It's much more pleasant sounding.)
Hey, for 69 cents, the decoration is bound to make visitors to the "powder room" smile.
That, in itself, is a good reason for bringing the skeleton fellas home!

Oh Susan , you will never give up going to thrift stores and buying little things that make you happy. Good for you. Yes those skeletons are all ready for Halloween.
Such a cute little decoration. I just put my scarecrows out.
I don't put out Halloween decorations any more, but I do still have three tiny skeletons that I haven't parted with. These skeletons remind me of the Mexican holiday, Day of the Dead. They are colorful, and suit you. I know what you mean about the powder room. Love that name so much more. : )
Have a terrific week, Susan.

The imagery of Calavera, or the skeletal figures, is most commonly linked with the Mexican holiday Day of the Dead, known as Día de los Muertos. The piece featuring this imagery appears to be old, which makes it a particularly good find.
Susan, you find the cutest things at the thrift stores. I must learn to be more patient when I shop at the thrift and antique shops. I'm sure I have passed over many good deals. I like the sound of powder room as well. Great find here...
