Friends

this is a candle holder


a severed head, the perfect way to celebrate Christmas

These were found in various charity shops, St. Peters and The Cancer Foundation to mention a couple.

Photobucket became annoyed that I wouldn't pay for it.

Just a few pics from random horrors from three different goodwill shops in Finland:

Follow the small porcelain toilet ornament that has "Goodbye cruel world" written in Finnish on the side:

We'll try to do the final judgement post on Christmas Day :)

one more from the white elephant sale-

Ladies! Here’s your chance for a great deal on a new bra that’s only been pawed through by 30,000 complete strangers since well before Halloween:

5x7 Raggedy Anne in a field... I don't get it. I would have bought it, but there was no price on it :(

Pair of leftovers from the white elephant sale a couple weeks ago-

While visiting my cousin for the holidays, we decided to take a trip to her local Goodwill. On the non-terrifying side, I got myself a cute little anklet kit and a Batman bobblehead that looks like Jay Leno. On the other side, however.... ( Follow Cinderella's disco slippers from Hell.... )

So I was walking past the local Goodwill when I saw this gem: He's a puppet. Well made...and I had to have him. Mainly because I have no idea what he is... at first we thought maybe Santa? Then..just an old man, but..his body is furry and he's rather monkey like. Wth is he!? any ideas? haha.. I paid 15 for him. He's amazing.

Uh. Yeah. That's all my enthusiasm for the day.

Okay, so I guess I owe you guys a lot of explanations.

1) Your head mod and layout designer, taistoi , has left LiveJournal for bigger and better things. That's about a third of the reason I've forgotten this comm exists.

2) Another third of the reason is that I have fallen so far out of sporking that I don't even watch this comm anymore. That's not to say I'll abandon my mod duties.

3) OTHER MODS, I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE. The last three sporkings have all been approved before I could get to them, so I know someone besides me is running this show, and it sure as hell isn't Ryune. If you're still paying attention, please let me know.

4) BY NO MEANS should you guys take the mods' inactivity of fail as a sign that this comm is dead. It really isn't. You just have a set of failmods. You also have a set of mods who can't do much besides approve sporkings, because Ryune held all the keys to this joint and...yeah.

And you know, it occurs to me that I don't even know half of you anymore, so intros. I'm Auria, and since Ryune's flown the coop, I guess this makes me head mod. Or at least the most active? I don't know. I don't spork anymore, but I do RP a lot. And that's pretty much all you need to know about me. xD


kaos_sparrow , you have privacy settings up that won't let me message you back. Thought I'd let you know.

The non Christmas horror and madness i found while out and about. fear the madness.

Got a few Goodwill and Habitat pics. The former are from about two weeks ago and the latter are from yesterday. Goodwill is up first. ( Clowns of Oz, ghost cat, and mystery chairs within... )

I am sure most of you remember the wall of Star Trek? No well here is a quick link to it. http://community.livejournal.com/thrifthorror/340530.html . But since you all know I don't post all that often I have to make sure I post lots of WIN.

So do you think this little tree is going to be just plain and normal.

Oh of course not coming from me. No I give you ( The Star Wars, Star Trek, Loony Toons tree from heck... )
