{First Purchase at Goodwill}
I have been a long time donator of the Goodwill. It’s so easy to box up my “unwantables” and donate. Way easier than conducting a yard sale. I love to browse the store and see everyone’s “unwantable”. But I have never bought anything!
I know you think I’m a snob… I’m too good to take other people “JUNK” home with me….
Not true at all!!!
The truth is… I look at your blogs and see all the trash goodies that you find at really really great prices!
The trash goodies I see are really really over priced!
Is it me?….am I cheap? or Is it the store?…are their prices too high?
Well~ today my luck changed. Not in a big way {I’ll still be playing the lotto} but I did find some small hidden treasures.
Total cost $3.52
large frame ~ $.99
glass container ~ $1.00
small frame mirror ~ $.30
Waverly fabric ~ $1.00
I’m sitting here thinking to myself…. maybe it is me….maybe when I enter the Goodwill, I don’t see things the way you do. Maybe I’m so practical that my creative side only puts in front of me what I need. (or can handle) Let me explain….
the frame… I picked out because I thought I could use it on a project I’m doing for my mother.
the framed mirror…. I need something to go on my family photo collage wall
the fabric… even though I haven’t finished son #2’s bedroom I thought the colors palette would be great in son #1’s bedroom
the glass container…. I could see it filled with colorful….M&M’s!!! (okay not exactly a need but definitely I had a vision)
Happy Thrifting,
Carrie
