Wouldn't you know it...a larger umbrella (9ft+) with a pulley system and tiltable rod was waiting there for me, marked at $19.99. Even with my coupon, it marked all the way down to $5.99!!! Perfect condition, great quality and even the colors of my old one! A similar one in the stores would be at least $100...so if his one takes flight again, I won't feel so sad (or will I, since it was such a steal?!?). Great finds Amy! Always look forward to these posts. And...love the jacket!Dwell on Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04067072457341361892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679982809007414974.post-56842991884669742192013-08-20T10:26:52.844-07:002013-08-20T10:26:52.844-07:00Great finds.

My mother is director of a non-profit organization that gets in ALL kinds of stuff. A lot of it has to be trashed. These tumblers were for the trash because the inside bottoms were in bad shape...not suited for drinking. I have no idea what I'll do with them, but they are great!Tashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17054658108560099003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679982809007414974.post-26995440990659314442013-08-20T07:25:36.629-07:002013-08-20T07:25:36.629-07:00wow, those two last items are pricy!!

Whether they give a discount or not,they take it in stride that you ask. I have been in a few local charity thrift stores where they get offended if you ask because as they say, it's a donation. I guess Goodwill is used to it though, plus they have lots of stores, unlike many charity thrifts.<br />I will have to start looking at coats. I have a thing for labels too:) Thanks for showing us these awesome finds! Di Jinxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17414489610565310221noreply@blogger.com
