We decided that rather than lunch we would go out for breakfast, and before the hoards of children who are now off for their summer holidays from school, decended on Maccy's, we went there. I had my usual egg Mcmuffin, and Kev had the sausage one. We went to the one opposite TKMAXX so naturally that was the next stop.
They had so much more stock in than last week, and as I've called quite a bit lately, was able to replace a few things. Nothing major, but I did find a Freak Show teacup with tentacles and a very ornate light up house.
When we got home there was a parcel outside and when we opened it, it was a gift from Kev. A beautiful invisible wood witch like the ones that sold out from Cracker Barrel in America. This one isn't as large as they were, but is still as gorgeous, doesnt light up, but then I rarely light certain items preferring to see them in natural lighting. But is beautifully detailed so she looks like part of a tree. Very classy and elegant, definitely all year round dark decor. I love her, and obviously Kev who knew I was gutted not to be able to get a real one. If Im honest a large one would be hard to find space for, so being 12 inch high she fits in here much easier... He always tries to find what I can't. And like in the haunted sandcastle if we can't find one he'll make one similar. That's coming on by the way with a base coat of gold paint on now ready for texture and different shades of sand colours layer by layer.
Talking of which he altered the teacup with tentacles as the cup itself was a shoddy paint job ( sometimes TKMAXX does bring in some dodgy painted items) so he painted the cup and dry brushed the Freak Show label to properly highlight the lettering. Looks so much better now in my opinion. Plus it actually makes it more ours. The photos below are basically before and after.
