GOODwill!

The other day I stumbled upon something wonderful...something magical...something that I hope heaven will be like........

It was a blog party where everyone shows their thrift store/yard sale finds! Seriously I shed a few tears I was so excited!

I have always been a second hand shopper. It thrills me to NO END. Actually many of you might have received "gifts" from me because I cannot pass up a deal and usually can find someone to give it to.

I always get SO excited, only to be disappointed when Noah isn't as thrilled with my finds when I come home.

Here is the answer to my problems;-) This will probably become my down time, guilty pleasure (browsing other people's finds that is).

Head over to Southern Hospitality if you want to see what I'm talking about.

So I'm going to show you what I discovered this weekend at Goodwill this weekend!

These three paintings for $5. I have a friend who is having a little girl and I think these would be precious in her room.

Cute little sheep!

Precious pink pigs.

This one looks a little bit sad to me, so she may not want that in a nursery, but I'll offer it to her.

A gorgeous piece of art ready to frame. I'm totally pro breastfeeding so this picture will hang proudly in my home:-) I love the sage green matting.

My favorite find. A very chic magazine rack. I've been looking for one for about 6 months. This was $4. I'm going to give it a new coat of black and it'll be good to go!

Some 18 month Puma shorts that didn't seem to ever have been worn for my little boy. I have tons of 0-9 month clothing but not much after that. So I always pick up clothes for that older size, I know I will be glad I did when Barclay outgrows all his clothes. I don't know how WHITE holds up with little boys though...
These were $2

Some cute brown overalls. 18 months. $2

These are totally my style...at least my style for my baby:-) 18 months for $2.


I bought these notecards new for $3. They are beautiful black and white pictures of babies and their parents. I love them. I thought about framing a couple of them but I am realizing that I have plenty of my own to frame. These will make beautiful baby shower cards though.

Original price was $16!

I was really excited to find this because I was reading THIS on Southern Hospitality and I loved the lamps! I am horrible at sewing, not to mention don't have the time, so I was so excited when I found this lamp shade, already covered in Burlap for 99 cents. I'm going to monogram it with a "G" and it will be perfect!

This is a beautiful old clay bottle with an old cork in it. I saw it and my imagination went wild! I have a fascination with being ship wrecked and writing love letters to my long lost love...through a bottle of course. It was only $1.50 and the perfect color for several of our rooms.

This is a very interesting old lifeguard chair model. It was $2.50 but will look so good in Barclay's nursery since it is a semi nautical theme.

I know I just had a baby, but this crib bumper was so adorable and was only $3.99. It is the prettiest colors. I thought I'd buy it for my "next" baby but realized that I'm probably going to sell it on Craigslist for $20 so that I can use that extra money for next weeks treasures:-)
