Good Goodwill Day

I think I speak for all thrifty bargain hunters when I say not every time you go out thrifting do you find great deals. Lately when I've been hitting up goodwill I have had zero luck. I got so discouraged that EC and I took a little Goodwill break and haven't been in a few months. Today we ended our streak because of a few picture frames...twelve to be exact. I knew that I wanted to frame Emma Claire's monthly pictures at her party but I didn't want to go purchase twelve new frames. Can you say cha-ching?! So off to Goodwill we went. I did not have high expectations. Every other time I've been to goodwill in search of frames I've come away empty handed. And today I needed not one, but twelve.

 

 I am happy to report that I came away victorious and now have more than enough frames!

 

Every time I go into Goodwill I browse the baby section and have never found anything. Well today I found this polka dot top! How cute will this be on EC with a little sweater, jeans/skirt, and her black mary janes? Adorable! {Side note: just realized I took this picture of the top backwards! ha! oops!}

I also snagged several silver platters, some small picture frames that I plan to paint and have on display at her party, and a brown basket. I am thinking that it will be perfect to hold party favors.

When I was browsing through the frames I found this needlepoint. {for $2} It is SO cute and very well framed. I think I'm going to paint the  mat inside as well as the frame. I'm going to have it out at the party and I think it will be darling to have out next summer.

 

And there really wasn't any seasonal decor that I liked but I saw this pumpkin candle holder for $1 and I had to have it.

 

Don't you just love a good Goodwill day?
