I hung up some Goodwill frames…come see!

January 25, 2011

Remember these frames? I got them at Goodwill this past summer. I bought them because: 1. They had mats. I love mats. 2. There were 3 matching ones. Frames work nicely in sets of 3. 3.

September 21, 2010

The other Sunday morning, all of my girls decided to wear pink dresses and it just so happens that all of them were from Goodwill. So of course, I thought that pictures needed to be taken.

Needles in a haystack

August 31, 2010

When I’ve posted about my Goodwill finds, a lot of you have commented on how fabulous my Goodwill must be. And while it is true that my Goodwill is pretty nice as Goodwills go (it’s pretty new, and fairly organized…as organized as a store that stocks completely random stuff can be, at least!), it still [...]
