Winter Art

On my lunchtime walk....

I had to go Xmas shopping....on my way, I was taken aback by this whimsical art installation.

It is at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.





Don't you think they look like cattails ?

Would like to drive by at night to see what they look like.....





 So these are the things I picked up at the thrift shop...

CORSAGES! XMAS CORSAGES!

WOOHOO!

 They were originally sold at Shopper's Drugmart a big drugstore chain in Canada

The owner before me had put some tie wraps to hang them in the tree...

 The green one isn't a corsage but an ornament....


 So 
take makes 3 corsages and one ornament. sweet for $2.00

 I am really happy with those finds since 2016 has been dismal in the 
thrifting area!



Be well my thrifty friends

Those corsages brought back a memory! My Mom and I having them on our coats on our way to church. What a great find. It has been a better then I thought thrifty Christmas for me. I needed it after last year. Hugs!

Cute! I love the little Santa on it. I managed to buy a 1960s Japanese winking santa cup holder and 5 cups on our Facebook bidding site. I think it originally held 6 but part was missing so I made it look like it was meant for 5 instead. I've only ever seen the winking cups separately and found my first one this year for .25 cents at a thrift. The stand has a winking Santa at the top! For $7!! Definitely a keeper.
