Two small nutcracker dolls to add to my collection found at Swtichpoint Thriftstore.

If you are looking for some great Christmas decorations and are on a budget or just "smart" with your money - check out this great Thriftstore. I have bought lots of cute ones this season for a fraction of what they would cost new. And the best part is - the money stays right here in our community helping some of the most vulnerable among us. I can't think of anything more appropriate this time of year than to help those in need. 

Two vintage kitschy mice for me plus this cute Santa figurine - found at Switchpoint Thriftstore.
I am loving my new - new to me, used decorations!
Switchpoint Thriftstore is listed as number 18 on our tour map. Be sure and visit during the Gingerbread Parade to vote for the gingerbread house on display which will be made by volunteer baker: Katelyn of Cracked Cookie Co. and be entered to win cool prizes during our Fundraiser - Gingerbread Auction held during the Holiday Market sponsored by the Downtown Farmers Market on December 14, 1:00-4:00 PM at Ancestor Square.
