Goodwill Hunt

After reading several of the posts on Mr. Goodwill Hunting's blog last night,  I was left with an urge to run down to my local Goodwill to find some treasure. Only problem was that I was around 1:30am and of course at that time GW is closed. Ha!
Seems like Mr.GWH and I share a love for gorgeous lamps and tableware. If you havent visited his blog, take some time to check it out, you'll be amazed at his great GW finds.

So I  headed over to GW as soon as I left the office today. I must admit, it was late in the afternoon. Luckily the Super Goodwill store closes at 9pm M-F. Ohhh I was spotting the pretty elements through the glass walls as soon as I drove up to the building.

Here are my wonderful new treasures.


I scored the set of  Pottery Barn crown shelfs for $8.00
(Sold at PB for $49.99 and $59.99 each)


Cant wait to see how these will look once I put them up (here is the pic from PB of these shelves)

These gorgeous Crate & Barrel red beaded trees for $2 a pop.
(These will look fabulous on my TV stand)


I'd love to know who is the maker of these candle votives, they are so cute.
I couldnt help but bring them home, specially for $1 buck ea.


Oooooh these clear glass candle holders got my attention too. Specially since I can use them all year round. these were $2 ea.

Here they are again with some candles I had...Arent they lovely?


So I always wanted to make deviled eggs...
and never have just because I didnt own one of these Deviled Egg platter.
Well no more excuses now, deviled eggs it is. Paid $2 for this one.

I also grabbed this cute bowl, just because that lime green is my favorite color.
 I couldnt resist not taking it for $1.50


But the real steal of the day is just to come!
Ok, drum roll please... 

These authentic  Villeroy & Bock Audun Fleur plates are a beauty...
I found a set of 6 dinner plates just at $0.50 each.  Yup, you heard right.
These are originally $48.00/plate at Tablewareetc and Amazon. Which is $288 for the set of 6 plates.
Can you believe I paid only $3 for the set?


 The total bill came up to about $26.22 for all of this.
(Including the PB Shelves) 
Auhhhmazing!

Have you found any thrifty treasures lately?

  2. Hi Kay. Thanks for stopping by!
    I had absolutely no clue what they were worth until I got home and googled the name printed on the bottom. The designs on them are so nice that I would have purchased them regardless of their worth, but when I found out they were worth THAT much, I was thrilled and doing my Happy Dance inside.
