That was the tag line on my postcard from the local Goodwill… Jen told me about her recent trip and I remembered that I had a coupon so I dragged the family down there Saturday. Here is what I scored:
Magazine rack (cause my peeps, ya know I got a TON of magazines), a robin’s egg blue vase (I actually have two now, this was an FTD special that my mom got from my brother for Mother’s Day), a blue/green vase (to add to my collection), it’s hard to see but in the back there is a wooden star on a wire with a rusty doorknob on it (I hung it outside) a wire basket, and two white shabby boxes (I put a tissue box in the big one and the other is in my office).
I also got this:
The “Davy Jones” creature, not the flowers. Luke saw this in the “expensive thing case” and had to have it, it was 10 bucks! This thing stands 12″ tall and weighs like 3 pounds. It is Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean 2. I looked it up online and it originally sold for 30.00… did I get a deal? Luke thinks so! I think so too.
I also got Jen a dish and 3 teacups so I got 12 things total and with my coupon ($5.00 off) the total was $18.00 - not to shabby! Now, if I had bought only clothes I would have come home with a cart full for that price! I love Goodwill!

OK, I’ll admit it … we used probably the same $5 coupon at Goodwill a coupla weeks back for some clothes for the husband and this cook vinyl picnic basket thing for Sam. My mother was so impressed with my finds, she wanted to go back with me and bought almost $50 in purses, clothes and knicknacks for her family! It’s a pretty cool place for trinket searching, I would have to agree!
