Goodwill Hunting

Hey there… yes.. Goodwill Hunting- and not the movie… 🙂   .. I paid a visit to see if my $2.00 Tuesday Fairy has left a goodie for me under my pillow   …. (yes I remember the days of the toothfairy so now she’s my $2.00 Fairy – cause that’s how much we use to get for a tooth..)  Thank you Daddy (r.i.p) … OK  moving right along… but yes, she struck again.  After being well acclimated in my new office space the one thing I was missing and realized I needed was a wastebasket.  Brand new ones were overpriced.. I mean really you see my office.. I don’t think I need to make a fashion statement in there..  but at Target I found these.. Prices range from $9.99 to $14.99

Well I found this one at Goodwill  –  Yes it was $2.00  (starting the new year off right)

     

A Martha Stewart wastebasket… sure it’s got some bruises .. but that’s ok… It’s sturdy, not torn or falling apart..   but it’s not staying this way… (you know me – Spray Paint to the rescue)

         

But you know wandering eyes just couldn’t stop at this.. I had to keep looking – just to see.. (thank God hubby wasn’t with me.. because he’d say  ..”ok – you got what you’re looking for – let’s go” .  Well – like I said in the title of this post.. Goodwill Hunting.. I found all these items there too!!!

        

Battery-operated candles were definitely a steal of a deal.. for $0.75 for this one

and for the pair of the olive green trees were $2.50 (OH MY GOD!! they smell soooo good – I can’t wait to get batteries..)

Much needed picture frames..  the glass (for someone who’s got a birthday coming  🙂 – and a gardener can ALWAYS use watering can

The pillows… can’t pass those up.. for $2.00 each.. (besides.. didn’t Pantone say the new color this year is Orchid.. chuckles..)

All in all…. I will definitely say it was a good “GOODWILL Hunting”

My total spent …   $14.25  –

now it’s time for me to get busy working on that wastebasket.. I’ll see you soon to show you how I incorporate my new goodies around the house..

Tah-tah….

2013 has been a very good year for me.  Of course I’m ending this year with one more great deal…My last deal of the year was bought at an estate sale conducted by Pieces of Time ( It’s something I’ve been wanting for quite some time and refused to buy one brand new because they’re so expensive .. well if you consider $100.00 is then you’re like me.  But here is my DEAL OF THE YEAR!!!!!

Isn’t this a cute cover?????  sooooo Vintage…. but this is what’s under it..

BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Can you tell  I’m screaming happy  🙂

           

It’s my creme de’la creme Deal…$20.00  that’s right.. $20.00

This baby is in perfect condition –  with two mixing bowls and a cover.. I’m just skipping – doing a happy dance HAPPY!! about this…

I even thought they’d be cheaper after the holiday but nope..A new one is priced at $99.00 with one glass bowl and no cover… smh…

so it pays to be patient..

Looking back  at 2013 and see how it’s been a fantastic thrifty good year for me, it’s great to see how the $2.00 Tuesdays paid off and helped make a few good changes for less that $12.00 in my home  (you can click on each picture to read the story behind each item

                          

     

So going into the new year I look forward to sharing more thrifty ideas with you to decorate your home.

I’d like to thank all my readers for following along with me on my Vintage journey and decorating stories.   Here’s wishing you a happy, healthy, blessed and thrifty new year!!

Love Your Vintage Girl!

CHEERS TO YOU!!!!!!

A natural wonder

I always wonder how does this plant know when to bloom? I mean bulbs planted in the ground know it’s time to bloom because the change of the season but this plant stays in the house all year long… Hmmmmm….  I just wonder??   Is there a calendar built in membrane that says Christmas is coming.. Chuckles.   Anyway… I’m just loving my Christmas cactus…  Here it is starting to bloom

I went out of town for a few days and came back to this

I paid a visit to the town thrift store to see what they had.. and saw a bag of these small ornaments (16)  for $0.50..

and to think Target thought they had a bargain (but I know not)

So, why not add them to the Christmas cactus plant (after all – it kinda makes since being that they’re Christmas balls) like I did with the big dining room plant.

                       

These things are so cheap.. I think I’ll use them in the garden for a bit of whimsical all year long…So I’m headed back to see  if they have any more larger ones…. and if I luck up.. you’ll be the first to know…..  TaTa….
