Our local Goodwill has a 50% sale (we went on Black Friday and found some great deals, too) the day of/after big holidays. Here’s what I was able to score for about $25 the day after Christmas:
Watercolor boat painting, $2.50 (needs a new mat (matte?) but I love collecting pictures of boats and the ocean, especially since we’re back in CT; I’d love to have a whole gallery wall of them someday!)
“True People” jeans (my sister found these for me, and apparently they are expensive – who knew?), $3; “Elle” long-sleeved shirt (Kohl’s) for $2.
Great class jars for $1 each – how could I pass them up? :)
4 books; I’d been wanting to read the Dr. Dobson book for a while so Chris and I are trying to stay awake enough to read it in bed together. So far we’ve made it through the first chapter. (lol) It was 99 cents, I believe.
I love art history (my knowledge is definitely very limited though), so I couldn’t pass up this book for Luke for 50 cents.
The green book in the back is actually a giant book of French impressionistic paintings; it was 5 bucks but it is huge and great for framing!
I absolutely love elephants, and this vintage book (although a little stained!) was only a quarter! These are the kind of pictures I’m looking to frame for when we do Luke’s room again.
I love anything pink, which also means I love decorating for Valentine’s Day. I think these 3 plates total were $1.50. Conversation heart plates, people!!!! I die.
Love this lantern (candle goes inside), and cute plates for the Superbowl! Also $1.50 total.
Last but not least, a Little People truck (50 cents, maybe? can’t remember) and a vacuum (I never spell that word right the first try) sealer (unopened, with bags inside) for $5 – I’ve been looking for one of these for next summer’s produce! Yay! The same one at Target.com right now is $40.
There’s just nothing like getting great things for your home and yourself for so cheap! Love love love it! :)

Hey Jessica, This is Erin. I am so jealous of all the blogs that I read about Goodwill finds. Our local Goodwills here are WAYYYYY overpriced! That same framed picture you bought would be at least 15 bucks here. I have seen frames that they have priced HIGHER than the original price tag still on the back! The end tables run about 50 dollars!
ReplyDeletePS. It's MATTE.
ReplyDeleteI love the jars you scored and the vintage children's book is right up my alley. You are making me miss my old GW. There are no GW's in Rhode Island. ;(
ReplyDeleteLove the jars. Saw a cute tutorial last week with chalk boars paint on the side. And now I'm ready for you to move into your house so i can see all your decorating!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds. The conversation heart plates are very cute.
ReplyDeleteThose are some fantastic finds!! I never seem to luck out like that. :)
