When I want a melody---

Decor/crafts for Advent Fest

Rescued a hymnal from Hillsdale UCC from a garage sale. The lady felt badly that it ended up in her sale; so she gave it to me. I'll try to get it back to the church where it belongs.
The bling wreaths were $2 for all four. The ornament tree was $5.

This made my day: a musical box from Germany that plays a section from the Blue Danube. $5.
It's made by Steinbach in Hohenhameln.  On the inside of the box it says West Germany, so it's from before 1990. Play the video (below, right) to see how sweet it is. 

Dishes for the 2016 Afternoon Tea at First Congregational in Salem, Oregon. Reserve your tickets now! :)
Dishes set me back $30. 

Wooden candlesticks from Sweden. $1 for all three.
