Last week, my blog BFF Jen and I invited you, our readers, to join us for our first blogger meet and greet. I’ll admit, we feared we’d be alone at Goodwill, but several people actually showed up and we have pictures to prove it. And you know we love to share What Not to Buy, so we each chose the ugliest item we could find to pose with.
It was so much fun to meet readers and chat. In fact, we did more chatting than shopping. Thank you so much ladies for coming out to meet with us. Goodwill was a hit and because everyone had something to take home, we offered a Goodwill Challenge and you can get involved, too. Simply transform a thrift store buy and add your link to our Trash to Treasure link party on Monday, January 23rd.
I plan to make over a hard cover book. Any guesses what I’m up to? Jen is planning to give this holiday tray a face lift, too.

And, to the ladies brave enough to join our insanity, we’d love to hear what you thought and welcome your suggestions. Either send us an e-mail or post right here in the comments.
We’re also sharing our favorite things over at Design Build Love.

I and a recycle reclaim fanatic.. I would so love to join your challenge…. your picture looks so fun.. wish I live closer….
Happy Holidays..
I like that pear in the picture…HAHA. I do love pears though. It would look awesome spray painted white! (I have a white one very similar to it from Z Gallerie!)
I agree, I like the pear!!!! Just put it in the right context and it would be a pretty sweet vintage piece.
Looks like it was a lot of fun!! I have many plans for transforming thrift store finds – so I will be joining! Thanks.
It was so fun to meet up! You are truly a delight!
Hope you have a very Merry Christmas and best of luck with that book!!
Cheers!
