There were a lot of chicks at the house sale I went to Friday.
Useful chicks. (They're egg cozies.)
Traditional fluffy chicks.
Chicks from the five-and-ten. (The eggs are about an inch long - slightly less obnoxious than the life-size plastic eggs, but maybe not by much.)
A handmade chick.
And a couple of crazy chicks. What's a sale without a few crazy chicks?
For those of you who prefer more traditional holiday decor (I'm raising my hand, too) ...
there were lots of tiny ornaments,
and a few Halloween bits - a pumpkin, some treat bags, some handmade owl lollipop holders and a set of Halloween cookie cutters that I've been looking for. I don't need the cookie cutters so much; I just like the graphics.
So if you had to pick: Which chick would you be?
They're all pretty cute, but I pick the fluffy chick on the left -- I love her hat.

Looks like you had a good junking day- I think those crazy chicks are a hoot- and I wish I had the recipe (or pattern) for those egg cozy chicks- I think they're kinda cute.

Hey there, I was at my cousins' for the weekend so I am catching up still. Love to see you with your son. Somehow there is always a gap between (photo) reality and imagination. Of course I would go for the Halloween stuff as I could never buy that over here. I collect the Christmas stuff myself and some Easter stuff like paper mache eggs and tin eggs. This weekend I was at a flea market and discovered a paper box, egg shape, probably 50ties, beautifully decorated with vintage easter decor, filled with baubles. The seller didn't want to sell that box, it was so handy for displaying the jewels :-(

I like the traditional chicks, even though I think of myself as a crazy chick. I tend to keep that side of me tamped down. I look conservative on the outside, but inside is a different story!

Those fluffy chicks look like they're hanging out backstage, about to put on a musical. I like the handmade chick!

They're cute! I think if I had to pick it would be one of the first ones :).
I LOVE that Halloween stuff!

The pink chicken with the crown and sceptre, hands down. The Halloween cookie cutters would have come home with me too.
