Goodwill Chaos..

They opened a new Goodwill near me, in Cartersville,GA. My friend Kay and I went down there for the opening. We got there at about 9am and it was so crowded that we could barely find a place to park! It got worse once we got inside the store..

It was complete MADNESS in there! People were everywhere! There were so many people that you could not walk..Everyone pushing, shoving.. It was terrible.. And they had no room to put all the furniture. They were bringing out pieces, waiting til they had sold, then replacing them from their stores in the back.

The first thing I picked up I broke! It was a beautiful jar. My favorite thing in the entire store. But just as I picked it up a lady knocked into me and it went flying. It broke all over my foot and it cut my hand. Goodwill workers converged on me immediately to make sure I was ok.. Blood everywhere from a tiny, tiny cut.. LOL it was horrible..

Then I finally made my way to the book section.. There was this man and woman with two FULL carts blocking the entire row. They were taking some sort of scanner and scanning the books to see what they were worth online! Well, they must have thought they OWNED that row, because the woman in the duo literally SHOVED me into an elderly woman.. intentionally.. Now my temper has cooled a lot but I got mad.. I rammed her with my shoulder lol She went flying back and needless to say, when she looked up and saw the look on MY face, she went the other way.. What is WRONG with people nowadays?

I did end up finding one good thing. I love it.. When I was carrying it around, people kept commenting on how pretty it was. I got a silver plated cake stand!!!! Not sure exactly what Im going to do with it yet, but isnt it great?



I am in the process of working on my dining chairs right now-covering them. Only two done so far, but me and Kay are working on them again in the morning. The fabric is horrible to work with, but gorgeous. I'm almost finished with my dining room. It has really come together. Once I get it all fixed ill post pics.. Dining chair pics to come soon!

WOW! My Most Thrifty Treasure EVER!!!!!

My best bud kay and I went to the Goodwill store in Marietta,GA on Friday and WOW did I ever find a deal.. I spotted the scarves (one of my new obsessions) so I went on over to check them out.. the first one I found that I loved turned out to be a YSL... That's right... a silk Yves Saint Laurent Scarf for $1.10!!!!!!~ First my mouth gaped open like I was a crazy person, then I ran over and scared Kay to death as I thrust the scarf into her face (I also had to explain to her what Yves Saint Laurent IS lol.. You must forgive her.. she's not into designer), and after all this was done I did the happy dance in the middle of Goodwill! lol Here's some pictures of my beeeeeautiful new designer scarf!

Thrifting at Goodwill..

Visit Frugalicious Friday at Finding Fabulous!~



On my thrifting adventure last week I ended up hitting the Goodwill in Kennesaw, GA.. We don't have one around here, unfortunately, but it is always worth the drive.. I usually get to hit several good stores while Im out and about down there.. Anyway here's some of my cool little treasures.. I also got a nice vintage Bundt cake pan for $2.49 that Im going to use for the kitchen wall (not pictured).. I think all together I spent about $7.50..

I found 4 of these really cool (and HUGE) silver curtain tieback thingys lol I am not sure if I will use them for tiebacks or as huge pretty knobs on the wall to hold some of my treasures, but for 55 cents each I had to get them.. Next is a closeup of one.
I LOVE this smiley little skull bank! I have a great place for him on one of my shelves. He adds a little bit of whimsy and my rocker side of my personality into my decor.
And finally this awesome little decorative silver soap dispenser for my kitchen. I love the sort of damask design on it.
