This a.m. we drove to a neighboring city to see what "stuff" they have there. I swear they have ALL my favorite stores --and a Chili's (does anyone else love Chili's chips and salsa as much as we do?)
Cole's not feeling great today so we didn't stay too long, but I did manage to convince the boys that they should stop into Toys R Us (ok-- so it didn't take much convincing) while I ducked into Jo-Ann Fabrics. We also hit up the Dollar Tree (for some birthday party supplies) and then I took a quick run-thru of the Goodwill store. I <3 that place!
I hit the jackpot!! I'm so glad I made them wait in the car while I quickly perused the "stuff" department at Goodwill. Check these out:
2 apothecary jars + 1 large glass bowl + 1 white ceramic vase = $15!
And the best part about it is that I'm in LOVE with each of them-- not just like -- LOVE! That's when I know I've made a good purchase.
note: the apple in the following photos is for size reference, not necessarily because I love apples :)
I literally have been looking for something EXACTLY like these for quite a while. I found one and audibly gasped (luckily there was no one close enough to hear me) and the next shelf over found the other one. I may or may not have loudly said "Nice!" when I found the second one. Yes-- I was "that lady" in the Goodwill store. :) $3 each!
We had a beautiful dark wood fruit bowl out for fall/winter. Just putting the fruit in an open and airy glass bowl makes a HUGE difference. It really feels like Spring! $5.
And this adorable ceramic vase. I immediately saw it on my dining room table with tulips in it and I was sold. $3.
I also got this today at Jo-Ann Fabrics (among other things)-- stay tuned to see what it becomes! (FYI-- I don't sew but I'm pretty excited to see how this project turns out)

We LOVE Chili's Chips & Salsa! :) Love your new finds too!! :)
I totally have a thing for glass too! I especially love that large glass bowl. You have convinced me I need to get myself to a Goodwill soon. Oh, and I also love the chips and salsa from Chili's - unfortunately all of the Chili's in my state have closed :(
