Good Will Haul!

Good Evening Bloggers! I made it through another work day. I had to orient my new therapist on my team today. It was a fairly easy day however.
I promised yesterday I would post my Good Will finds. I know everyone is so over Christmas decorations. I have to warn you that most are Christmas oriented. I don't know why but Good Will had a ton of Christmas stuff, I did not find anything but Christmas stuff. But the Christmas stuff I found I think was really pretty. But anyway here goes, I hope those of you who chose to look enjoy this post!! God Bless You!!



This tree skirt is brand new with the tag. I was 19.99 from the Martha Stewart Line at K-Mart. I paid 3.79 for it at Goodwill. I just love it is pink with the chocolate polka dots. I plan to have three Christmas trees next year, if the Good Lord allows me to live until next Christmas. I want a pink one, a red one with my cardinal theme and a brown and cream theme tree.







This crystal snowman is very heavy. It has a tiny candle hole, but I am thinking it is a paper weight or maybe a stocking holder. I don't know. He was a 1.91.





This Santa and Snowman are plastic but they look like they are crystal. They light up and really pretty. I paid 1.91 for both.






This little bronze golden tin is a Scottish Wine tin. It attracted my attention for the reason it is Scottish. My hubby is Scottish. This little tin was filled with all these beautiful ornaments I have posted below. I paid a 1.91 for all.






I thought this little Rhinestone frame ornament is so pretty!




A Crystal snowman!





A crystal Heart that is appropriate for Valentines Day as well as Christmas!






Little Crystal tree!





Cute little snowman!!




I thought this little train ornament is so cute.




I love this Victorian ornament. It is my favorite of all of the ornaments.





Two old world Santa Ornaments








Okay, I am officially a trash picker!! This popcorn tin was setting up against the garbage bins here at the Condos. I could not stand the thought of this pretty tin going to a land fill somewhere, so I brought it home with me. My hubby thought I had lost my mind!! LOL






This is not a Goodwill find. I actually found this wine opener set at a yard sale a few weeks back. It was a dollar. It was originally from Pier 1. I think this is probably going to my daughter. She entertains alot and serves wine.

  8. Great finds! I especially like the Dewar's tin. When I was little my Mom gave me and my siblings each a popcorn tin to keep our own collections of ornament's in. The tins were scavenged from the recycling bin at our apartment complex :)

  22. Hi Susan! Thank you SO much for such a sweet comment about my Lincoln! :) He is such a joy to my heart! We had a wonderful day too. :) We took him to his favorite (very expensive) restaurant for lunch, gave him his card and then got him an ice cream cake for dessert later on in the day. My brother came over and they played board games for hours. :) He had a nice time.
    I'm glad my post inspired you....it's just so eary to write about Lincoln and the great big God we serve!
    Love ya much my friend

  26. Wow, wow, and more wow!!! What great stuff. And all for under $25 total. Amazing Susan. You did good. I of course love the Santas. And since this very last Christmas, our daughter has decided to begin collecting snowmen, she'd love all you found. And y'know, I really like the small candle snowman you first shared.

    Awesome stuff.

  28. Hi Susan!
    I'm just checking in to make sure everything is okay in your world. I figure if you haven't posted anything in a week, you are either sick or super busy. I hope you are just busy.

  31. I love the material of the skirt, you could use it any time, just put a big center piece over the hole and use it on a table.
    The Scottish tin is also a very nice find.
    Love your blog,
