I am going to try to go more in 2009. I went to three Goodwill's in my area yesterday, and here are some of my finds:<br /><br />Here is a 2000 piece puzzle. Have I lost my mind?? It is a photograph of Neushwanstein Castle in Germany. I lived in Germany for a year, but I never made it to see this one. Now I wish I had. I did go to a bunch of other castles, and they were all amazing. This puzzle cost $1.38!<br /><a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM6912.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 403px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 224px" alt="" src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM6912.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Here is a neat cardboard floor puzzle for my daughter. It looks new, and it was only $2.38.<br /><a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM6917.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 285px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 182px" alt="" src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM6917.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><br /><div></div>The best find of the trip: a big wooden box full of train track parts! It is not a complete set, but I was still thrilled to find it. It is compatible with the wooden train set that my daughter got for her 3rd birthday. It has tunnels, a bridge, trees, signs, track pieces, a windmill and train cars. The best part: It was $6.38!! I had no clue what I would find when I looked in the box, but I was thrilled.<br /><div><a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM6911.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 370px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM6911.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div><a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM6910.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 369px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 230px" alt="" src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM6910.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div>Tiliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10490056709252602770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359843818859935035.post-87084217112381362472008-10-15T19:30:00.003-05:002008-10-15T19:36:54.669-05:00Neat toys found at GoodwillI found these three wooden vehicles at Goodwill for $5.38 each. I believe they came in kits and someone put them together. They are really cool wood vehicles. They are around 8 inches long each, and super sturdy. I looked them up on ebay and they didn't seem to be worth much more than I paid, but I still think they are neat.<br /><br /><br />Here is the crane truck:<br /><a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM5806.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM5806.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />A wooden jeep or Humvee:<a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM5807.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM5807.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><p>Pick-up truck:<br /><a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM5808.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM5808.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Aren't they cool? My daughter plays with them every once in a while, but hasn't shown much interest in them. My cousin's six year old likes them a lot.</p><p>I think they are a great find! In fact, when I was waiting in line to pay for them at Goodwill, several people were eyeing them. One man said "Oh, I saw those on the shelf." And his wife said through her teeth, "Then why didn't you grab them????" I just pretended like I couldn't hear them, because I wasn't giving them up!</p>Tiliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10490056709252602770noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359843818859935035.post-66926434455628526882008-10-15T19:24:00.002-05:002008-10-15T19:29:18.536-05:00Cute doll furniture at Goodwill<div>Check out this cute doll furniture that I found at a Goodwill store! These pieces were $5.38 each, which is a lot for me. I loved them and thought they were so cute, so I splurged!

I think September will probably be the last month. I have been going out nearly every weekend to hit the sales. I am much more selective this year (what with trying to declutter and everything). Here are a couple neat things I found:<br /><br /><br />Old fashioned bingo game, $2<br /><a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM5320.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM5320.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Pink depression plate (about 15 inches wide) $6 for my mom (would have been about $30 at an antique store!)<br /><a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM5321.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM5321.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Tiliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10490056709252602770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359843818859935035.post-44131581925397394542008-08-24T17:40:00.003-05:002008-08-24T18:13:27.951-05:00last week's goodiesI have been busy shopping Goodwill and garage sales. I am trying to declutter, but I also need a few things to help me stay organized. I am having a garage sale in late September, so every once in a while I pick up something at Goodwill that I can resell. That doesn't help me declutter at all.<br /><br />Here are some more jars that I have had really good luck finding. These are 88 cents each, and I will use them to organize my crafts and sewing.<br /><a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM5085.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM5085.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Two lovely tall mugs in a nice blue color. I found these at a resale shop for $1.99 each. A lot of money for me, but these cups will come in handy. Normal cups just don't hold much tea, and I drink tea all day in the winter.<br /><br /><p><a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM5086.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM5086.jpg" border="0" /></a> </p><p>Two really cute Christmasy pot holders for my table. I bought these at a garage sale from a nice lady who had a bunch of handmade stuff. They were $1 each. I am sure on etsy, they would have been $15 for the pair. They are worth it too!<br /></p><p><a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM5092.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM5092.jpg" border="0" /></a> </p><p>I bought a set of 4 of these glasses for myself, because I have broken some out of mine. I had a set of glasses with white swirlies from Pier One, so these kind of go with. I'm not against mismatched anyway. These were 88 cents each at Goodwill.<br /></p><p><a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM5091.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM5091.jpg" border="0" /></a> </p><p>I found this cute little trunk at Goodwill. It was $3.38 and I figured I would resell it at the garage sale. It is made from laminated cardboard with silver glitter. Of course, my daughter likes it so we might keep it if we can find a spot for it.<br /><a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM5093.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM5093.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></p>Tiliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10490056709252602770noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359843818859935035.post-30064111517185233112008-08-13T09:38:00.004-05:002008-08-13T10:13:59.959-05:00Some good stuff!<div><a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM5016.jpg"></a><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div>I went Goodwilling again this week, went to 4 stores in the city.

It benefits the mentally disabled, I believe. It is in an old warehouse downtown, with no air conditioning! It is a neat old building and it holds a lot of stuff. It is mostly run my volunteers, so it is not the most organized place you have ever been to. We love to shop there and my daughter knows where to toys are now "up the scary stairs."<br /><br /><div><div></div><div>Here are some recent finds from our trips:</div><div></div><br /><br /><div>Big jar of antique buttons and other buttons $2.50<br /><a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM4703.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM4703.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><div></div><div>2 blue flower pots, 50 cents each</div><a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM4704.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM4704.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div><a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/HPIM4705.jpg"></a></div><br /><br /><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Glass jar 50 cents</div><a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM4705.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM4705.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/HPIM4707.jpg"></a></div><div></div><div></div><br /><div>Some really cute metal stuff for my daughter's play kitchen!</div><a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM4707.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM4707.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div>Various mini metal mixing bowls and utensils for my daughter's play kitchen.</div><a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM4708.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM4708.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div><a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/HPIM4713.jpg"></a></div><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>3 metal ice cream bowls $1</div><a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM4713.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM4713.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><div> </div></div>Tiliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10490056709252602770noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359843818859935035.post-39033204279354479872008-07-15T00:28:00.003-05:002008-07-28T15:12:06.794-05:00Church rummage sale find<a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM4442.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM4442.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM4443.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa147/mom2005z/Thrift%20Store%20Finds/HPIM4443.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I found this wonderful doll furniture set for $2.00 at a church rummage sale. I sat down for a while to make sure all the pieces were there before I bought it. It was mostly taken apart.</div><br /><br /><div></div><div>It includes a bed, table and 2 chairs. It is for regular sized dolls, not dollhouses. What a find! It is made with branches and rope, except the table top. The bedding and chair pads appear to be handmade. All I need to do is re-glue the joints together.</div></div></div>Tiliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10490056709252602770noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359843818859935035.post-12907940944233705202008-07-14T23:57:00.002-05:002008-07-28T15:52:17.187-05:00My first post!<div><div><div>I am starting a thrift store finds blog!!
