Estate Sale Friday. Another Pink Snake.

I hit two sales today.

I got a couple of boxes of vintage Christmas ornaments and a couple of old cardboard witch hats.

Some loose ornaments and a putz style Christmas house.

Two Christmas corsages one of which has the sorriest looking spun head snowman I have ever seen. The years were not kind to him at all

A few plastic frames (in the background) and a milk glass strawberry.

Some nice floral cutter fabric.

A box of vintage flag stickers. I am always happy to find these.  I like how this box included some that fly to LEFT and to the RIGHT.

A brush topped with a darling wooden painted elephant and a pink toilet snake. I was actually quite excited to find the pink snake with the chippy paint.  I found one before and put it to good use in this project.  I have not seen another one since then and have been keeping my eyes peeled for one.  Evidently pink snakes are hard to find.

Funny how a pink snake can make your day.

Happy day.

I was thinking to myself "What the heck is a pink snake?" I thought maybe one of those carnival plush snakes or something LOL. Then you said "toilet" snake.Of course I clicked over to your other post and saw the cute tree stand. How resourceful you are!. We used one of those last week unfortunately. They do their job though! No pink one....just a normal snake. Like the elephant brush too.
Thanks for sharing and making my day!

Would you believe I have the same Xmas house? I bought it on Ebay years ago when they were still affordable there! And I love that strawberry!

Oh, poor snowman! I am not sure even magpie magic can restore him. Looks like a typically fruitful Friday morning!

Only YOU would be happy with your pink snake. I love how you "think-outside-the-box". I'm totally smitten with those cardboard witch hats. Fabulous!

Wow! And to think you've been looking out for another pink one since 2010!! I do like what you did with it, tho! =D

I'm waiting to see what this pink snake becomes! I have three of those strawberries, one I got just a couple weeks ago. Three - oh oh!

The spun snowman is a little spooky.
Love the elephant brush. Do you brush your elepant every day?
Do you have a collection of brushes?

I have seen the strawberry before and I know there is an apple. I have a tomato though and I have never seen another one. I wonder if there are any others? It was very clever repurposing with the pink snake.

I bought the greatest really old white christmas tree off of ebay last year, only problem was the cardboard base was falling apart. I have been wondering what the heck to hold it up with. Thanks for the great idea! Heres hoping I find a pink snake!!
