I wish I could take credit for being a good person doing good deeds. Nope. All I am is a thrifting shopaholic that spent lunch at the Good Samaritan Thrift Store and dinner at Goodwill yesterday. I discovered that the GSTS is only 4.5 miles from my office. Can we spell t-r-o-u-b-l-e? And I have to pass the Goodwill to get home. I'm lying. I pass the Goodwill if I choose a certain way to go home. After today I am taking a self imposed thrifting break. Okay, I'm probably lying again. But I am going to try. I swear.
Here is what I found yesterday. I am in love with the Christmas tablecloth ($2.99) and the little blue box which was .39!
This tablecloth sure is putting me in the Christmas spirit. I can't wait to use it. I hope you enjoy my treasures today and maybe find some of your own...

I think there needs to be a twelve-step program for us Goodwill shopaholics. Seriously. I have so much stuff that I needs to open a store. Ohhhhh, you HAVE a store. You need to open that store.

That basket in the second picture appears to be the perfect size to hold a bottle of wine:)
LOVE your treasures! My sister is a thrift store regular. I am always amazed at what she finds.
I'm more of an auction girl myself. There are two this weekend!!
What a great tablecloth!
There's a Goodwill nearby, it's so tempting!
LOL! I am on a self-imposed thrifting break too! Wonder how long I can resist!?! As always you found some great things! Love the little bowls. Have a great day!

Lucky you! I also ADORE the Christmas tablecloth! Thanks for all of your nice comments! We get our tomatoes from friends now and then. We have 4 tomato plants and they are not producing even though I have babied them all summer!
Well that is fun! Looks like you found some fabulous things! Nice.
Boy, do I ever love that Christmas tablecloth!!
I too, love the treasures that you uncovered...I feel that is part of the thrill...the hunt, the find...there is something so strong about that. Ya, know...mean have hunting and women have hunting, both can cause blood shed. I choose to be a thrifty shopaholoic too and am proud!!! Love the hand thrown pottery!! And the little fish, by the way!

Yes I know...my house can get quite cluttered...but darn it... it is such fun. Love your finds..i found a similiar tablecloth for christmas that I am dying to use as well. I think your little plates inside the round basket look cute...I would keep them like that and put them on top of a cabinet. cherry
Oh my, what wonderful treasures you found, espcially the tablecloth. I love thrift stores. They are even better than retail stores!
But you're DONATING money at the same time! See, it really is a win/win!

Yes, you are in some serious thrift shopping trouble...me too. My whole foyer is a mess....I have to find a spot for everything before I can go again, but I keep going. We need help.:)
What a bunch of cute stuff! I wish I had a Goodwill nearby! Or maybe I don't, I always see so many good things people have found there I am sure I would be addicted like you:>)
