Goodwill Hunting

Wasn't that the name of a movie??? :)

Well, after seeing on numerous blogs the great finds people were getting at Goodwill I finally got time to go to two of them, and I really had fun! All of this was 10.00!


I just love these kind of decorations! The wonderful colors of vintage ornaments, it is plastic but I am going to set it up high....no one will ever know! :)

This was actually two pieces but she gave it to me for 2.99....it is really pretty....and vintage feeling.





This sweet little blue vase is going to my Aunt Rosemary, some of you know about how special she is to me, she celebrated her 83rd birthday on December 7th. She loves this color blue and has a little collection she puts in her kitchen window so the sun can shine thru the glass. In this Goodwill bag-o-goodies there were a lot of fun plastic ornaments that will look great on a wreath!


This is a vintage box of lights, they are all red. I saw that Suzy at GeorgiaPeachez makes wreaths out of lights....really different! I am going to give it a try!




I have a real attachment to vintage jell-o molds....the little ones are going to end up Christmas presents....if I can get busy!


This bag was a steal at 2.99! It was chock full of goodies!



Isn't he cute???? Not my style, but I will re-donate him to my community's ornament collection.





The photo isn't the best, but the bell is loaded with sequins and sparklies! ( Is that even a word??? ) LOL The candle ornament reminds me of my Mom, she made a set of these for me.




Again, I am not into beaded ornaments, but these were well done! I will find them a home!





I have seen numerous creches on other blogs and thought I sure would like one....this one is pretty good size and perfect! I just love it! I remember these when I was a child...they used to be really small back then, made of plastic like this one and real kitschy!


This was a good day, I started out really early at Ikea, my friend Meri treated me to breakfast...a really good sized meal for 1.99! Then we went junkin' and to a scrapbook store....is that a perfect day or what? Have a great weekend!


By the way....Ikea had all of their Christmas items half price!

Vintage Thingie Thursday






I went to a Thrift store a few days ago and found these goodies! I also am including a photo of one of my very favorites items in my kitchen. My grandma had these type of cookie jars when I was little! This was brand new, but I painted the lid and added the meyercord vintage decal, so I think it counts as "Vintage! Also, look for a new "vintage" look to my blog in the not too near future! :)
