After a long week of hanging with our boys, I pawned them off on Ben to do a little retail therapy, alone. I know the moms out there understand how great this is. I find thrift stores are difficult to go to with kids. Target usually has the same inventory, but thrift stores are ever-changing, so it takes more searching. Off to Goodwill I went. I didn’t find much, but I wasn’t looking for anything, either. I did find a cute stone bird.
I did think twice about this guy, trying to keep my bird obsession in check, but he wanted me to rescue him from the shelf. So, I did. I immediately snatched this brass leaf-shaped bowl.
I left Goodwill $4.50 lighter with two more projects in the works.
Come back soon to see what I did to update my finds. For now, though, I want to know what specific items you go to thrift stores to find. Dishes? Furniture? Lamps? Spill.
Your post is too funny – I went to Goodwill today & posted my treasures on my blog, too! I am new to thrift shopping – & I love it! 🙂
i wanted to be a happiy for halloween once and there is no better place to find clothes from ‘the past’ than good will. it was great!
“I know the moms out there understand how great this is.” Um, yes. 🙂
