Amazing Finds at Goodwill

Found thus wonderful Greek style Adrianna Pappell (nwt) dress at the Lombard store. Added a good belt and fabric shawl to make it the best costume for a performance of Antigone by my daughter.

This pretty brushed chrome towel bar was at my local Goodwill for $1.49.  Hung it on the inside of my closet door and it's perfect for my scarves.  Also, if you notice the coat sleeves, the polka dot coat is a spring "swing" coat, NWT, from local Goodwill - $1.23 and perfect condition. The checked one is a winter dress coat from a neighboring Goodwill - $12.50 and also in excellent condition.  The gray/black sleeve is from a NWT, FILA winter parka bought through the Goodwill auction site for $15 (new is $159.00).  What can I say, except that I LOVE Goodwill shopping!

Short on space in a very small laundry, but I needed something for hanging shirts fresh from the dryer.  Saw this chrome drainboard for $2.49 at one of my favorite Goodwill stores, took it home and hung it across from the dryer.  Works like a dream!  I love Goodwill!

No jewelry box and limited funds...so, I found this little planter shaped like a bird cage for $1.99.  The paint was perfect, absolutely no damage anywhere. I dusted it off and put a purple satin remnant in the bottom for bracelets and pins. Necklaces and earrings hang as shown. I can even put my watch on the finial! Thanks, Goodwill!  P.S.  Most of the jewelry is from the .99 rack at Goodwill.

Jupiter Sterling Silver Open Hole Flute - Bought for $25 - sold for $450. Thanks Goodwill!

I ran to Goodwill to see about Christmas Dresses for the program I was directing that afternoon.  Busy times had kept me and my daughters from preparing our proper look. I had seen a new Goodwill close to where we got our Christmas tree, so I zipped over there hours before the program.

Not only did I find an adorable "Noel" blouse for my 9-yr old, but this dress was waiting on the rack for me. I signed up for the Goodwill Club for the 5% discount and found out I would also get another discount on my birthday ... which was the next day. They graciously gave me both discounts and the dress ended up costing me a whopping $3.50! I get comments about it every time I wear it and am so proud to tell the story.

I'm thrilled to support this mission, and thankful that it supports my needs, too!
