A couple of good finds

On our way to our Church's Christmas concert, No. 1 son and I stopped at Goodwill.  I rarely walk down the Christmas aisle as I have too much Christmas stuff already.  The other aisles were crowded, so down the Christmas aisle I went.  Saw this ziplock bag of crystals, very heavy and taped up so I couldn't open.  I figured for a couple of bucks they might look nice on the tree.  I found out this morning they are lead crystal prisms! Yippee and there were 72 in the bag.

The other thing was this ice bucket.  I have no idea if old or not but the label on the bottom does look old and no bar code.  I am preparing for the Prayer Pal brunch at our Church on Sat and I thought this would be nice.

Looking for ideas for the crystals after Christmas.  Any craft ideas out there???

Goodies from the Goodwill Grand Opening

As I mentioned in my Thursday posting, the Goodwill Grand Opening was crazy. I did manage to find a couple of things that I thought were kind of cool.

There were 7 of these snack trays that were clearly Mid-Century.  Not my style but I thought they were really neat and in great condition. Best of all, a bargain at $1.51 for the set.

I am a crafter and needed the brayers/rollers.  The stamps were a great deal although I have more stamps than I could ever use.

 I love these hanging picture frames.  Are picture frames allowed to be soft? Or should I call them something else.  Isn't language an interesting thing, in English it is implied that a picture frame is a rigid item and not these beautiful, soft things.  They are from Natural Life.  I had never heard of them but check out the site, yummy, yummy stuff.  These had an original price tag of $14.99 each on them and I bought for $2.91 for all three.  Such a deal.

All in all, a good five minute stop.

Goodwill Grand Opening, oh my

Johns Creek got it's own Goodwill today (in the old Steinmart space). I showed up a couple minutes before opening and the line was huge. It was a three ring circus. I know there are nice book "scanners" but none of them showed up today, only the pushy ones. I was so impressed with the Goodwill Staff. I imagine they brought the A-Team in for the opening but they were so professional and NICE.

I didn't spend a lot of time as it was too nuts for my taste. I found one of Ikea's discontinued drawers. I use them in my craft room. It was expensive but since I cannot buy them any more I got anyway. I found a couple of shirts for MadMax. Will post pictures of my goodies later.
