Thank you for the great feedback about the new Goodwill feature! I had a few leave comments here, but several email. I appreciate the feedback. Here's another visit...
These photos were taken from one trip to Goodwill. With this visit, I ran in quickly to find a vase for a floral arrangement ($0.50!) And snapped a couple photos while there. Here's what I found...
This is a sheet. I always look through the sheets. Why? Because sometimes you find some great pattern inspiration there. I love this butterfly pattern. Great for a shower or children's room decor.
You really could cut this sheet up, starch and iron a few small squares and place into gallery frames to use as decor. Or, as usual, it would make a cute backdrop.
If you've been following my blog since last year, you remember I put together a Grinch themed Christmas. (Here is a post featuring last year's preparations including the Grinch tree skirt.)
This year, I'm preparing for a candy cane Christmas. My son loves candy canes so most of the downstairs will be done in this theme. I plan early. Mostly because I create a lot of handmade items for every theme and it takes time to get them all finished.
On this Goodwill trip, I saw this red platter. It's definitely not in the best condition. But hey, it's $0.49!
But... with a new coat of red spray paint and either some white paint or white cricut decals, it may end up looking like a large piece of candy like the one below. Perfect to sit on an easel! Stay tuned for my Christmas preparations!
Something else I ran across was this cute wagon. A perfect centerpiece for a Farm Birthday Party!
I immediately thought I'd grow some wheat grass to cover the inside bottom and create a great centerpiece. Sidenote: look at that cute football player to the right! Hello, football tailgate party! Hand paint the uniform to your school colors and use this guy on top of a cupcake stand.
Next up.... I loved this! Great centerpiece for an Asian inspired dinner.
Then I ran across this. Typically it's a fountain, but I'd use it for the Asian inspired dinner.
It would be a great place to display some colored fortune cookie desserts.
It would be great place to display some nice colored fortune cookies. Like these strawberry red. Gives a nice splash of color.
And that wraps up another trip to Goodwill! Stay tuned for more....
Love this!! Keep them coming. I love going to Goodwill just to search for goodies! This is right up my alley and definitely going to be a favorite feature of mine!!!!!

Now the police need to sit back, relax, and watch Facebook. There's no way the thieves will be able to resist posting photos of themselves with Bob on the night of adventure they undoubtedly shared with him.

I've seen the opposite, where parents put their kids into private school kindergarten to get them in a year earlier than the school district would have allowed them. This ended up with a six year old in my second grade class. She wasn't ready.
It really is something that should be considered on an individual basis. My sister was eligible for kindergarten based on her birthday when we lived in California, but when we moved, she ended up being more than a year younger than her classmates for the rest of her schooling. My mom wishes that she had kept her out another year.

Equally inspired by classic tunesmiths like Buddy Holly and John Lennon and the street-smart attitude and angular riffs of fellow New Yorkers Television and the Velvet Underground
