Goodwill Hunting

Since returning home I have been busy painting up a storm! I also need to get out and do some gardening and finish the deck but best laid plans and all that, lol.

Today I am going to show you what I found at my local Goodwill. I usually go in thinking I won’t find anything but that was not the case yesterday. Here we go.

First off I bought 12, 1/2 pint canning jars that were new and unopened for $3.99, score. Always need those! Didn’t get a picture of those, we all know what they look like, lol.

I love this little Paris chest!! It’s very clean on the outside and the inside. I don’t think anyone used it!

 

Not sure what to do with it but probably use it for storage! I love it and even though it is not real luggage, it looks like it could pass for it.

I will be honest, I am not looking forward to the seasons changing. I love summer, spring and fall not winter! But since my daughter moved away I am just not feeling it! Know what I mean? I don’t have any decorations out to welcome fall or Halloween but a couple of days ago I felt that it would be nice to have something to welcome the change. So when I went to GW yesterday I found this..

 I love it and it looks very realistic. Of coarse the pine cones are real, lol. I had a pumpkin I bought sometime this year at GW and our initial to dress it up a little.

Don’t mind the trim that’s not finished around the door, we just bought a new door and frame and I haven’t finished it, lol. It’s on my to do list!! 

I also had a lovely silver teapot in excellent shape but for some reasons it has disappeared!! So no tea pot no picture :0(
The next item was not from GW but from my sister. I have always loved this bench but not the color. Don’t get me wrong, I love the green just not on this bench. So I painted it!!

 Then I distressed it but left the top alone. I will wax it here soon to protect it. I will, soon!

 

 

 

They had two of these at GW but I just got the one. It is ugly now but can you see the potential?? I can! I am going to paint it the gray color I have been using and distress it a little and then paint our address numbers on it!! What do you think?? It is dark blue and fairly large.
