Thanks Goodwill!


I had a 'this-is-why-I-go-thrifting-all-the-time' AHA moment today!  Brought on by this plum jam jar* ...$1.51...YES! I already have a strawberry one with lid. The plum jar is lidless, but otherwise perfect!

Then I took a chance on this small cross body leather bag.  It was $5.05 and I liked it.  I am experimenting with style...so please bear with me...the leather is sooo great! 

And a book, about buses...very cute buses!

  2. Great finds!
    I just started going to the value village stores close to my somewhat regularly, so far I found some great wooden toys but I always wonder how do you clean the books? Especially after I saw how my 5 month old licked her first book.

  4. I'm such a huge GW and Value Village fan. The prices at GW are usually way better though. I have found all kinds of really great things for ridiculously low prices. The downside is I'm so easily influenced by a good price that I often buy things I NEVER use or wear. I just wanted the good deal! LOL

  5. Jam is on my no-way list...unfortunately...
    seeing all the sugar in jam when I made it was one of my TSN turning points!
