This month, I was drawn to more vintage pieces. Or, perhaps, it was simply that there were more vintage pieces being sold.
Regardless, there was a stack of these, bright and cheery, vintage metal serving trays. They were .99 cents a piece. My mind said, you only need one {and by need, let's all admit, I didn't really need one at all} BUT my gut implored me to buy 2. Since my gut's argument was a more passionate case, I bought 2.
Typically, I am not one to buy vintage Pyrex dishes. I can appreciate there 'je ne sais quoi' {oh yes, this girl just used French, my high school French teacher would be so proud}. So, I will usually leave the Pyrex dishes to those who truly appreciate them and possibly even collect them. But...of course, there is a but...when I came across this Tiffany blue Pyrex dish, it spoke to me and for $3.99, I brought her home.
If you are wondering if I'll buy anything that is Tiffany blue, see my .99 cent purchase below.
Goodwill has almost an entire aisle designated for baskets. I usually take a quick peek through them, you never know when a nice basket might be of use when you are putting together a gift.
I found this child sized picnic basket for $1.99. I thought it would be perfect to fill with some of my "I heart fake food" and give it as a birthday gift OR I am this basket might first be used in a prop for a possible Halloween costume for Grace.
I've come to realize, with all the beautiful tables I've seen, that a party isn't complete without one of these glass dispenser jars and, of course, some paper striped straws...so, when I found this brand new dispenser, with the Target donated tag, for $6.99, I decided to buy it...and start planning another party {handsome husband, if you are reading this, I'm joking...I am not planning any other parties...yet}.
I was happy to come across this brand new container of bead, which retails {according to the container} for $7.99 but was being sold by Goodwill for .99 cents. Of course, as I am sucking up stray beads with the vacuum cleaner, this purchases has made me a little less happy.
And a lovely cropped jacket for myself for $3.99. As much as I can't resist anything in the shade of Tiffany blue, I also can't resist a cropped jacket.
No trip to Goodwill is complete without looking through the .49 cent stuffed animal bin. My mom, the Queen of Quilts, is a collector of Boyd Bears. Her collection is reaching intervention levels but for .49 cents, this lovely little bear couldn't be left behind.
I feel as if I have just come out of an AA meeting and confessed my latest binge. My name is Amy, and I have a Goodwill Shopping problem.
What good deals have you found this month?
