Good Day at Goodwill!


Hi there! Hope you all had a great weekend:) Ours was a busy one! We had 2 graduation parties to go to then the boys and I stopped off at one of our Goodwill's yesterday where we did some "treasure hunting"! I think I have my oldest son loving Goodwill, lol! He likes to see all the cool things you can find for SUPER CHEAP!

Above is a pic of a cute basket I found with strawberries painted on the front:)

Here are 2 of the tea cups I found. The one on the left looks "old" to me. I want to do some research online to see if any of the tea cups I have found are of any value. Its nice to know if you have a piece or two that is worth a good amount of money!


I just loved this little cute one:)


This one is very pretty too; it has yellow and pink flowers on it. Do you ever wonder the "story" behind the treasures that you find? Like, was this tea cup maybe used by a great-grandma having a little tea party with her great-granddaughter?? Kinda sweet!


Here is another cute cup and saucer with red, blue and green!


This was my #1 find... a lovely pitcher! It was marked $3.00 but I don't think the girl saw the tag and charged me $0.25!!! WOW! It has a small crack on the backside and it looks old to me, now I am drawing a blank on what it says on the bottom... I'll have to do a search on this one too!


I just thought the kids on this plate were too cute! I was only almost 12 years old in 1990 when this plate came out; I knew then that I always wanted to be a mommy and here I am one today:)


This cross had NO price on it so the gal gave it to me for a quarter also!! I am going to spray paint it white and hang it in our living room!
I have wanted one of these crosses for a long time too!


I also picked up this patriotic scarf with '76 on it! That was 2 years BEFORE I was born! It MAY go in one of my lucky girls swap packages:)



I arranged for my future mother in law to watch our boys tonite for us so we could have a DATE night; which rarely ever happens! We went to dinner at a Mexican restaurant where I had a yummmmmy black bean and cheese quesadilla and was naughty and had a raspberry margarita too! We went to see The Hangover after that, which was a FUNNY movie but very dirty, so if you are INNOCENT of mind... do not watch it! It made my hunny laugh which I think he needed so that was worth it to me:)

Not much is going on this week other than my classes, we have a playdate with some friends Wednesday at a place with a bunch of giant inflatables for the kids to bounce in!! The boys will love this! I want to get some flowers planted in my hanging baskets too.

What are your plans???
