Goodwill Thrills!

I love to shop and I come by it honestly.  I come from a long line of shoppers on my mother's side - mother, grandmother, great-grandmother.  I love a bargain but I also splurge on things that I really love and know that I will have for a long time to come.  But, when I want to get my fix do a little shopping then I often head to Goodwill.  Of course, it is totally hit or miss but if you can often find something good even if it wasn't on your shopping list. And almost always a real bargain.

Last week I had some great luck at my local Goodwill.  I found these wine glasses. 




I didn't have any red wine glasses before and I found my regular glasses to be a tad bit small.  At $1.76 each, I figured that these were worth a try.  They are pretty heavy which I actually like and they have a nice shape.  Not sure where they came from originally but I am pretty sure someone paid more than $2 each.  More importantly, I certainly won't cry if someone breaks one after having one glass too many.

My even better score was this little nightstand which I think I will save for Alex's big boy room.  The price?  $15!!!!  It's a maple nightstand with dovetail drawers.  Unbelievable bargain.  The stain is in in great shape so I can leave it as is if that's the direction I decide to go.  For now, it will hang out in our attic.

Did you find any great Goodwill stuff this week?  Are you yard sale-ing tomorrow?  It's supposed to be cold here so I kind of doubt there will be any decent yard sales this week.

Have a great weekend!
