Once in a Blue Moon Online Thrift and Consignment Store

If you've been on our site, Once in a Blue Moon Online Thrift and Consignment Store, you've probably already noticed this gorgeous new wedding dress we've just taken in on consignment.

Our bride purchased the dress during her initial excitement of first becoming engaged and without the chance to give much thought to what the theme of the wedding would be. Now that she's had the time to plan and the wedding is just 7 months away she has chosen a dress to better fit her wedding theme. (Picture her walking down the aisle on a sandy beach in Maui, followed by a traditional Hawaiian Luau reception. Aah yes, I think a different dress might be a little better suited for a sandy beach.)

The gown is from the Alfred Angelo Bridal Collection-Style 1150, size 6 and features lace with metallic accents of crystal beading and sequins. A silhouette waist draws your eyes down to the layered A-line skirt and a chapel length train. Includes optional modesty piece and net cap sleeves with matching lace and beading. The original tags are still in place, which makes buying the gown from us just like buying it from any bridal shop only for a lot less money!


May I have a show of hands of all the doll collectors out there? Great, because do we have some dolls for you!!! I'm showing just a couple here from the Drake Collection:

Ashton Drake Galleries, porcelain baby doll. Weighted to feel like a real baby. Gently used for display purposes only. Non-smoking house. Priced at $30




How about this Ashton Drake set of twin dolls? Baby's First tooth by Yolanda Bello, boy and girl twin baby dolls, great condition, displayed only, non smoking home, about 8" tall while seated, no packaging, tag on girl attached. The pair are priced at $30

I am truely amazed sometimes at the talent that apparently goes unrecognized by the masses, which is why we consider it such an honor to have what the designer calls Bug-O-Doodles bestowed upon us. Bug-O-Doodles are hand drawn and then crafted from polymer clay by Deborah. Although designs may be issued again, no two Bug-O-Doodles are exactly the same. Bug-O-Doodles include a handcrafted gift box, which makes for the perfect gift item.


Let me introduce you to Danny, the Halloween Teddy Bear. He loves to dress up and for Halloween. Here he's dressed up as a dragon sitting next to a pumpkin teapot. In his hand is a removable sign that can be personalized, size is 3 x 2 inches, includes a hand crafted gift box. Danny is priced at $7.15.


This time I added two, not just one, Halloween recipes to our newsletter. Both of these delicious looking recipes were found on the Hershey's Chocolate web site, so I don't think there's any doubt to their tastiness! I mean look at the photos and tell me your mouth isn't watering!
