I love the Goodwill Store

I can’t tell you enough how much I LOVE THE GOODWILL STORE.  Fortunately for me, there is one just down the street from where I work.  Unfortunately for me, I am totally addicted to it.   Its like crack for frugal moms.  Every day it calls my name and it takes every fiber of my being  to not get into my car at lunch and drive down there.  And, if I do drive down there, it pains me not to walk out with a shopping cart full of re-purposed treasures.

Recently, the Mister surprised me at lunch on his day off and showed up at the office to take me to lunch.  After a quick lunch I told him we were going somewhere that I wanted to show him.  I directed him down the street to the Goodwill store.  I was thrilled and he indulged me.  The first thing I found was this decorative Christmas tag looking thing FOR $1.99!!!

The Boat Anchor

The Mister calls it “the boat anchor”  because its made of cast iron and weighs a ton.   After debating where it will be mounted in my plane-jane undecorated house for the last two weeks, I decided on the bare space over my kitchen window.  By the way, those kitchen cabinets are getting a planned makeover in the next few months.  At one time we were going to replace them, but they are so expensive to replace.  So, we decided to paint them Kilz Casual Colors ‘blackbread’.  Its going on all of the cabinets in the house and a few furniture pieces as well.  I can’t wait to show you the results.
