Goodwill Find Photos

I posted early early this morning about some of my Goodwill finds for last week. I wanted to post some photos to go along with that so here they are! (Here is the original post). I also have a few more things I'll snap photos of later and I still have an AWESOME haul from Value Village.

PAID $3.00 FOR ALL THREE PIECES!!

Consisted of a bowling ball, bowling shoes and a bag! 

Little Nike shoes! I paid about .30 for them honestly. lol. This Goodwill is by the pound.

I paid $5.00 for this VHS player and it does work!

Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone, Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Buzz Lightyear Star Commander, The Little Mermaid. I paid .25 each!!

Goodwill Finds

Everyone knows I love a good shopping spree at a second hand store. The Goodwill Outlet used to be my favorite, they were right down the road, it was huge and filled to the brim with bins to dig through. They recently moved to a more upscale location and the store is a quarter the size it used to be, but that's ok. I still found some excellent deals. I spent a total of $46. I was after a couple of things before I stepped in there and found a few extras. (I'll upload photos later tomorrow).

1. Bowling ball, bag and shoes for $3. Yes. $3 for all three! It's definitely a man's set, the shoes looked hardly worn and it was definitely worth it with the free bowling passes we've been using this summer. I did upgrade to the "Family Pack" (you can see more about the FREE BOWLING FOR KIDS HERE) and paid about $21 for the entire adult family to be able to bowl with the kids all summer long. Shoe rental as it is...well it's easiest to buy the shoes outright.
2. A working  VCR. Now why a VCR you ask? Because there are children who love Disney and most of my Disney DVD's are stuck in a storage building three states away. Rather than buy them at $14-$22 a pop, I paid $5 for a VCR so I can pick up the VHS tapes of the older Disney movies..
3. 6 VHS tapes at .50 each. YEP! This is why I bought the VHS player. I THOUGHT I got two Little Mermaids (I wanted the covers to mail off to Ursala, see why here) but when I got home, one of the Little Mermaid tapes was actually a Harry Potter movie. I also got a Buzz Lightyear of Star Command VHS, a Toy Story VHS and a few others. All Disney.
4. The Little Mermaid book I paid .25 for and a Dixie Chicks cd I paid .50 for. I got a Christine Feehan book titled Dark Gold for .25.
5. A bag of clothes for everyone. All the kids got something and all the adults too. Majority of it looked brand new and never worn. I got a very nice dress for Lexie as well as some shorts that were desperately needed for the summer. Tristan and Eli got shorts and some tops, Reagan got pants and tops and even Tim got some tops and a few pairs of shorts. I was able to find a few shirts that might fit if I lose about 10 pounds so all in all not a bad day clothes wise. There was also a darling pair of shoes in there for Tristan. Little Nikes! They washed real well are a pinkish orange color.
6. A motorized scooter. Yep. I paid $12.50 for it. It was definitely an unexpected purchase, it even came with the charger. It sells for about $250 at Walmart and ToysRUs, but I think it may need a new battery which will cost me about $40 or so. Still not a bad deal but I wish there had been a warning.

I also did a run at the Value Village but I post more on that later!

Vintage Value Village Finds!

I stopped into the Value Village (a second hand store here in the Charlotte area, think Goodwill!) and found some pretty awesome pieces and I wanted to share!

This cute little bowl was only .60! Rosechintz by Meito Japan. It's a small bowl and it will look fabulous on my tea table.

This is my FAVORITE china set. I have several of the tea cups and tea plates it's Staffordshire Bouquet, made around the 1970's, I was SO excited to find this bread plate, I haven't gotten a bread plate yet, and I got it for only .40.

These little tea cups have seen better days, one of them has a small crack in the bottom, however at .20 each they can definitely undergo some re-vamping to give them a cool new look, I'm going to grow some herbs in them in the kitchen.  They are Myott Staffordshire. These at one time had a beautiful turquoise and green vine and bow motif but that has long since been rubbed away. I'm not sure if they sandblasted these or what, but they are ROUGH.

This little tea plate is adorable and has these little flowers on it, from Elizabethan Fine Bone China, I couldn't find any information on this plate, but I got for only .10. lol!

This beautiful vase was my splurge. I paid $3.93 for it and its rather tall, and surprisingly heavy. I love it and it has a pour spout, why I have NO IDEA, but it's gorgeous.
