Goodwill Outlet

Goodwill Outlet------a fun place to shop------if you don't mind digging and can overlook the rudeness and poor behavior of a lot of the shoppers!
I happen to enjoy the digging part--the rude people?--not so much. I've found some relly nice deals there. Lately, I've found some retro things : kitchenware, dolls and just some neat items. I've posted some pics here showing a few of the items.
 
 The 3 spice tins are for Hannah--she needed some more and I found these 3 in perfect condition.
 The 2 taller beauties are mad to grace an old soap bottle. The smaller one is just older with a cute dress.
This is one of my favorite finds! I had looked into purchasing one some time ago, but I didn't want to spend that much money. (did I ever mention I'm frugal!) :}  Well, it did cross my mind that I might just see one at the outlet some day and Tues. was that day! It's in very good conditiona and I got it for $3.00! I checked Amazon and they're selling used for around 164.00. Ebay has them from 40 something and up to about 60-70. Either way, I'd say it's a good deal! Guess what kind of goodies folks are getting this year!

WINTER!

This year I'm using snowmen and snowflakes to decorate for winter! I can keep it up all season and I must say, I'm liking it. Even Tom thinks it's "really pretty" :} 




 I have one more set of branches to spray paint and add on the rt. side, but I think it's looking very pretty.
This cutie came from the GW outlet--as does most of my finds. I think he's adorable and he greets us when we come home!
I have also found some neat retro things just recently that I'll show later. I'm thinking I may try to sell them on Ebay or in Etsy--haven't decided. GW outlet CAN be addictive, but it's also a lot of fun when you're looking for things to be creative .
