Our New Goodwill Store

Over the summer, I was watching as a brand new Goodwill Store 
was being constructed right next to the Meijer store that I go to often.
So when it opened recently, my daughter and I just had to stop in.
I mean, how could we resist, right?


We saw this nice display as we walked in and then
we saw a sign saying that everything was 50% off that day only!


Look at all the great things I found for about $11 all together.


I thought this little crock was really cute.


And look at this pretty covered dish ~ perfect for Fall decorating.


So many goodies.
It's good that my daughter was with me or I probably would
have bought more ~ I'm suppose to be getting rid of things, not buying more!
She didn't want to browse quite as long as I did.  : )


Oh, I also got this cute wooden rooster and I'm giving him a makeover.
You'll see more of him later.


I thought this outfit displayed at the front of the store was really cute too.
But sadly, I am not a size 2.


I have a feeling I may be going in there again.
I mean, being so convenient and all.


On another note, yesterday I saw these two deer in our yard.
I had not seen any in our yard in a long time so it was a nice
surprise ~ I always love seeing them.
That little one up front had his ears on "full alert" when he spotted me!

Have you spotted any special treasures lately?

    WOW what awesome treasures!

    Jo- that casserole serving dish matches a big platter I found at a Powell antique store a while back! (You can see a glimpse of a corner of it in my last post.) Well done - I cannot even believe this GW - may have to go thrifting with you one of these days soon! But I am trying to get RID of too - not bring in more so I have been diligently staying away from temptations! But it isn't easy! ♥

    What fun finds at Goodwill. We have one right next to our Vons grocery store, but I rarely stop in.

    Spotting local treasures? No deer for us, but we love when we see a harbor seal on our kayaking days. We are praying that we don't see a shark which is becoming common in our warm water!

    The deer are beautiful! I just love to see animals outside and to know that they still have some habitat left.

    You have a snazzy Goodwill! Something tells me your car might go there often. :)

    It's so great to have a Goodwill nearby---they are so generous in the way they give back. We don't have one nearby so I drop things off at our church.

    The deer are precious-I would be out of my mind to see them this close!!! :)

    You found some great deals at Goodwill! I really love the covered dish!

    The deer are just beautiful! I would love to live near some woods and see all the critters and nature. I've never seen one that close.

    Happy Fall!

    Those deers are so cute! I sometimes see some here when I have a walk in the countryside, but they never come so close to my home!

    I love Goodwill and travel 15 miles to get to one....cause I can't help myself! You found some great items and it is so inexpensive. Now I'm at the point I can't bring one more thing in this house without giving some up. You'll find yourself going to GW often, because it's close by!

    Wow! you have a nice goodwill store! mine doesn't look that nice. I rarely go in there. You found some nice things too! One item alone would've cost what you spent for all of that.

    Hi there
    I would love to have a goodwill so close to me, actually that might be a bad thing, I love walking around goodwill. Love the goodies you found there and those deer are adorable.

    Your GW finds are wonderful, JoAnne. I love all of them. I had a good week treasure hunting in our local Soroptimist thrift store. I found a beautiful pair of drapes for 50 cents. I couldn't believe it. They're in perfect condition. I think this has to go down as THE SCORE of all scores for me. We have deer in our yard almost daily. They're sweet, but I do wish they'd leave my flowers and bell peppers alone. Have a great day! ~ Nancy

Blue Kitchen Cabinets 2017

I have done a couple posts on kitchens with blue cabinetry in the past, after all it is my favorite color. It has been awhile though, so today I have rounded up some more  amazing kitchens with cottage style that also incorporate blue in  the design. source The kitchen above and the one below have white upper cabinets and soft shades of blue on the lower ones. This is a nice way to use blue without going overboard or ending up with something that you would get tired of quickly. source source Finding the right shade of blue would be key and using a lot of white and wood tones along with it creates a beautiful and timeless look. source source Isn't the kitchen above just so very unique? It has sort of a french country feeling but in an updated way. Wish there was a better picture of the script that's on the wall  on the right. source This kitchen is from Remodelondo la Casa and I've always thought the w

Family Room Reveal

Hello Everyone! I've been meaning to post about our updated family room for a very long time and I'm  finally doing it - yeah!! I had been ready to replace our brown leather furniture for a while and when a new Ikea opened very close to us last summer, I jumped at the chance to take a good look at their slipcovered furniture. Originally the plan was to buy another sofa and loveseat like we had but when I  saw the Ektorp sectional on the showroom floor at Ikea, I was sold.   It just seemed so cozy and I could really envision it in our family room. As you can see, we purchased the sectional with the white slipcover. You just can't beat the prices at Ikea and the quality is definitely good enough for us. I'm at a point where I don't want to buy expensive furniture that I feel like I have to keep forever.   We even had the sofa delivered and they took away the old sofa and loveseat  for a very small fee. We purchased this dre

AFFORDABLE WALL DECOR

Hi Everyone, One of the things I find the most difficult about decorating is finding wall decor that I like and is also affordable. That is one of the main things that I am always on the hunt for and sometimes I have to come up with some creative ideas. Just yesterday, I found this beautiful image of a  white hydrangea at The Graphics Fairy . The Graphics Fairy I printed it out in a size that would fit in a frame that  I already had.  I think it looks so pretty in the simple white frame. I'm probably going to hang it in our bedroom. I'm making a few small changes in there and I will show you when it's completed. This star is actually from the garden section of our local Meijer store.  It was originally silver metal and I spray painted it white. I have seen a lot of people decorate with bread boards. This one fit perfectly in the narrow space between my  cabinet and window and I love the warmth of the wood.  I love th
