1/2 price day at Goodwill...AKA...it doesn't get any better than this!

DISCLAIMER...Grab a cup of coffee, sit back and relax. This is gonna take a little while...at least it took me a long time to post it...there HAS to be an easier way!)

Periodically, some of the blogs I follow show off their really cool finds at Goodwill and thrift stores across the country. Since Jim and I had a good day at Goodwill, I thought I would follow suit...

Let's see...where to begin??? {NOTE: None of this stuff has been washed and/or cleaned up yet. Also, to get a better look at anything, just double click on any picture.}


This Christmas tree mosaic candle holder was purchased for 50 cents:



This will go nicely with our collection:



This vase was purchased today for $2.50:



More than I would liked to have paid, but I REALLY NEEDED it (ladies, you know how that goes, right?) to go with these other two:



Next was a cute little fabric finished box to hold my CDs at work (or something else I just haven't thought of yet) for 50 cents:



4 brand new (I took them out of the packaging before I thought about it) kitchen table placemats for 25 cents each to go in our "apple themed" kitchen:



A large hardbacked book about houseplants for 79 cents:



An unopened puzzle of a painting by Charles Wysocki for next winter, purchased for 50 cents:



I don't know if I am up to the challenge...



3 VHS tapes for $1.00 each...this first one I already own, but since it is probably my ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIE, I figured why not buy another copy just in case:



This one I have never seen but it is from "Feature Films for Families". We had a membership to that when Lauren was little and she enjoyed their movies.



This one I bought because I like it and it has Hugh Grant in it. 'Nuff said! LOL



You all still with me? OK, let's forge ahead. To do that I'll probably need a pair of boots. Now before you all start freaking out, these boots have never been worn...still have the price tag on...and I bought them to walk Scooby this coming winter.



I paid 2 bucks for them...



Next up, a really great CINCINNATI BENGALS shirt for $1.50!



The bigger of these 2 bowls was $1.00 and the smaller one was 50 cents. Jim says they should clean up very nicely with Tarnex...



3 picture frames for 50 cents each (cause you can never have enough picture frames in your home!):



and these 3 old saucers/candy dishes/not really sure what they are for 50 cents each:



Since that was all the damage Jim and I could do at Goodwill's "Everything 1/2 off sale" today, we went on over to the Salvation Army Thrift Store where we found...

a flower vase with a vine etched in the glass for 75 cents (remember, it isn't washed yet):



an old CUTE doggie planter for 99 cents (to go with my others, but I forgot to take a picture of them)



an little old German bowl of some sort for $2.00:









Jim purchased these for 19 cents each for his tackle box (BIG spender! he he):





Now for the "pièce de résistance" (I googled how to spell it LOL) A piece of old sheet music for 75 cents...check this out (I would probably double click on this one!):







We also went to Trinity Christian Bookstore where I purchased these books. They say they are $5.00 each, but we got them ALL for $5.00.



Remember the 3 picture frames I purchased and I said you can't ever have enough of them? Well, to prove that point, look at these random shots of my home...















These pictures...along with LOTS of others I could post, combined with the fact that I LOVE to shop at Goodwill and have for years, makes me think that THIS next picture should be the topic of a soon coming blog post for me. Do you all agree????



Hope you enjoyed this little "shopping trip" with me. Have a great 'what's left' of the weekend...
