Oktoberfest
Yep, its that time of year where I can smell the bratwurst, the sauerkraut, and the potato salad. Where the beer taps run all night, and the band plays the chicken dance till dawn.
This is The German festival known as Oktoberfest. My fiance and I love to come at least once a year to celebrate his German background. Its very family friendly they have a sausage eating contest, and a beer drinking contest for men and woman. The woman have to sit on a mans lap and drink beer from a bottle. Fun, Family, Friends, Beer, And lots of dancing. Here are some pics of my night at Oktoberfest.

ONE DOLLAR!!
Yep that is correct, this beautiful Godinger silver plated beauty was just a dollar. Im not sure if its a candy dish, or a candel holder, its a little wide for a candel stick, but I am in love. I have a glass dome that fits perfect on it. I LOVE my local Thrift store its huge and full of crap. I can spend a couple of hours just going through EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING. Everytime I go to that particular store I have a set route. I first go through the furniture section, then move up toward the glass section I dig through every shelf every basket, isle, I tell you its the thrill of the hunt for me. I also got a vintahe wood frame about 24x18 very nice.
