Okay, on to today's post....yesterday while out doing my weekly grocery shopping, I stopped at 2 of our local Goodwill stores...one in Newaygo and the other in Fremont, and found some things to bring back home with me....sometimes when I stop to look, I end up leaving with nothing...and feeling depressed, lol :)
First up is the wonderful metal wall hanging that I got for just $3....I plan to paint it white once we have warmer weather here in Michigan. I may even put it up on the ceiling in our Dining room as a ceiling medallion for our chandelier.
and I also found another vintage filigree picture frame (LOVE these), a 12" pillow insert, and a vintage filigree sconce...
These next photos I am going to show you are of some of the past treasures that I found at GW.... first, is the lamp base and shade, which I redid with some soft pink fabric, gimp and rose...the mirror to the right is also a GW find...
Everything displayed on this table all came from Goodwill, except for the tablecloth ~ I redid this shade in the same pink fabric to match the other one...
These next 2 photos show my most favorite GW finds....all we had to do to this wall cabinet was add the beadboard to the back and paint it white...
and this cabinet only needed to be painted white...
So the next time you are "out-n-about" and you see a Goodwill store, be sure to stop in and take a look around, as you never know what treasures might be waiting there just for you!
Be sure to enter my VALENTINES GIVEAWAY, you can click the photo at the top of my right sidebar to wisk you to that post....just leave a comment to be entered.
Have a wonderful week everyone! Until next time sweet friends!!

Gotta love GW! I am a regular at the two stores nearest me. They noticed when I wasn't coming in! (I was trying to stop going in so much!) I think you found some great items. All are things I certainly would've picked up.
lucky you Brenda,lovely finds. I love visiting Goodwill too. I love finding those sort of frames, I found a little clock too with that edging like your frame.
Love your plate racks with the pink rose patterned china. Very shabby Chic.
Happy Hunting. x jeanetteann
I love all your goodwill finds! Sometimes I wonder if I should post about how much I love Goodwill--I may be creating more competition in finding these treasures!LOL! Have a great weekend.
You have some great treasures.. I too love the hunt for these beauties!
Hugs,

Brenda you must be the luckiest goodwill shopper I know but you also have the eye to fix things up beautifully! XO Christie
You do so well at Goodwill. You are creative in how you fix up your finds.
I use to go to Goodwill a lot,but their prices are so high anymore, I do better at Yard Sales.
