My Trip To Goodwill...

I just love going to Goodwill! OK... Let me be more specific, certain Goodwill's. You learn very quickly which ones have the good stuff, and which ones do NOT! The thrill of digging and hunting through old, new and used treasures is so much fun for me. It's also less expensive than going to a therapist. Well, sometimes... But it's definitely a lot more fun!  When I go thrifting and/or antiquing ~ I usually don't have anything specific in mind. If I see something I love ~ I bring it home and figure out what to do with it then.

So... I guess I need to explain what I have here. Lets start with the shoes. "Love Them." They are Ann Taylor, with the price tag still on for $188.00. I paid $5.00! I have a fabulous wedding to go to in June and think I will wear these...


Next I have my $5.00 find of white Oneida dishes. Set for 4, called Basketweave. Nothing fancy, but I have learned that taking photos of food, looks so much better on white dishes than patterned dishes. So these were a must for me...






















This is a Pampered Chef's baker's roller. Suppose to be used for your pizza dough or pastry making. It was only $1.20, I couldn't just leave it! Right? I'm not sure if I will use it for what it is intended for or for craft projects. I have been wanting to try to make buttons out of Polymer Clay and this might work well for rolling the clay out...


A cute little jar of glitter. It was .29 cents. You can never ever have too much glitter around! Especially in a house only of girls...






















Love this little glass vase/votive for .49 cents. Not really sure what it is, but knew I loved it, and would find some sort of use for it. Now I need to find a fabulous cleaning product to make it sparkly. It has years and years of dirt, dust and grime on it... 






















 This might be my favorite find of the day! I absolutely love soft, comfy Pj's. These fit the ticket totally. They are Victoria's Secret ~ blue pinstripes and ruffles. $1.00 with the tags still on. Can't get any better than that...

This $1.00 book is filled with lots of painting ideas/techniques for me to try. Will keep you posted on how the walls, floors or furniture turns out...




Can't wait until my next trip to Goodwill. Hope you have a great weekend!!!
XoXo,

  2. One of my dearest friends loves to work with polymer clay. I found this little wonder in a Goodwill store for just a couple dollars and she loves it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/accessories/B0009U5OSO
