Favorite Goodwill finds

See Rhoda' finds at Southern Hospitality


I love to find deals at the Goodwill. Last week I really hit the Goodwill on a good day. I don't have pictures of what I got, but will post them later. I bought a console table for $64.99, I thought well that is high for Goodwill, but it was in perfect condition and very sturdy, well constructed and something I have been keeping an eye out for. When I went to purchase it one of the workers told me that this piece is really nice compared to what they usually see, he turned it over and it had the original price $349.00... and drum roll... from Pottery Barn. Whoo Hoo!


The following items were purhased at a different times.




I love shiny things and I collect pitchers great deal at $2.99 and a heavy weight I think it says Towle on the bottom.






Some napkin rings I couldn't resist.






Thomas Kinkade small about 8X10, only $3.99. I couldn't believe my eyes, it also has the certificate of authenticity on the back. Love love love this one.





Leaded Crystal candle pedestal was $6.99, a little pricey, but oh so beautiful and worth more.






This beautiful bowl for $3.00

  1. I am a little jealous of your finds! Our Goodwills tend to be a bit overpriced, but I do go in from time to time. :) Good buys for you! Visiting from Rhoda's party. :)

  6. That TK painting is really lovely, and I love that pitcher! I could just see it overflowing with wildflowers! Love the white bowl too!

  7. I like your pitcher and the crystal candlestick. Goodwill prices never seem to be really reasonable, in my area, anyway. Home items are very over-priced, for the most part. I don't know how they figure prices.... Hope to see your table soon.

  9. Oh, Marla, you've got the wrong link to my blog listed in your sidebar. Whoever owns that blog with the Southern Hospitality name is some kind of rapper with a bad mouth! Please change the link to go to my blog!!

  16. Hey, Marla, thanks for getting things fixed. I see you fixed the side link & that's great. If you could just go back and edit THIS post, and add a link over to my thrifty party post, that would be great. You can easily edit a post & then Publish again, no problem. You know how to do links right?? Read my instructions on that if you don't! We all had to learn these things at one time as a new blogger.

  21. Beautiful family silver. You are so fortunate to have that, but I bet you already know that! :) Welcome to blogging. I really appreciate your visit the other day and hope you'll come often. You are off to a great start. No offense, but I just do not care for boiled peanuts and I grew up southern. :) I love peanuts any other way though!

  22. I love boiled peanuts! Where do you get yours green peanuts? I also love your blog. You will not believe it, I found the exact same napkin rings in a GW store in the panhandle. I bought four for $2.99. Gave them to my college daughter who is a Chi O. I thought they were adorable. I also did just like you...looked forever at blogs, then started my own blog. Welcome!
