Whenever I go to the "big city" to shop or run errands, I always stop at the Goodwill store there. It's quite large and really, really nice. So, today being my day to go to Paducah, of course I stopped to see what I couldn't live without. Not looking for a bread machine for a friend anymore 'cause I found one last time, but you never know what will be lurking.
Not lurking at all, but right out in front of God and everybody there was a big stack of our Corelle dishes. Our pattern, Summer Blush, has long been discontinued and I've given up looking at places like eBay for more pieces. Sheesh! Some sellers really like their stuff!!
At any rate, I left the store with 6 dinner plates, 2 dessert plates, 3 cereal bowls, 2 saucers, and 3 coffee cups. Each piece was only 59 cents. Including KY sales tax, I spent only $10. Yeah!!
Also picked up a nightlight/glowing Pillow Pet for $1.29 and a cute cobalt blue plastic bucket-like container with an M&M friend on it. Less than a buck for that and it will make its way to Glenn's daughter's family at Christmastime.
They LOVE M&Ms and make something they call M&M soup, which is a mixture of all the varieties of M&Ms stirred together. I'll buy a package of each type, but it in the container and wrap it like a gift basket with clear cellophane with a big bow. I'll bet Santa will get a big "thumbs up" for that.
Also bought a beautiful picture frame. Picture/artwork in it was okay, but I purchased it for the frame. Just perfect for one of our wedding pictures that I haven't found the right frame for.
Finally, nabbed two beautiful long scarves for myself. No hair yet, so I've been getting pretty adept at turning scarves into turban-like head coverings. Each one was about a dollar.
Oh, almost forgot. Found a beautiful leather and suede handbag, with lots and lots of compartments and in pristine shape. Will be great for the fall.
I think, all in all, I spent about $13. Not a bad take, yes?
