Imagine my excitement when I found eight new and crisp PotteryBarn napkins,on the rack at Goodwill!
Imagine my thrill when they were .69 each. A monogram later, they’re custom and less than $20.
My Goodwill Thanksgiving Table
This year my Thanksgiving table is going to be filled with food in white serving bowls and here is one of my favorite white serving pieces.
I’m not sure what I’m going to serve in this Ironstone dish from Goodwill, with 3 sections it’s going to be a tough one, but I definitely want to show it off. I might even ignore the sections and fill it with creamy mashed potatoes. Any suggestions?
Thankful for tough decisions,
The Goodwill Gal
My Goodwill shopping list:
Authentic White Ironstone Dish: $7.99
My Goodwill Thanksgiving Table Setting
My Thanksgiving table is set and, believe it or not, almost everything on it is from Goodwill! No surprise there, right?
This large glass hurricane is one of my favorite purchases from Goodwill and I use it every chance I get. For this holiday, I filled it with mixed nuts. It took 4 pounds of nuts to fill it, that’s how big it is, the nuts were not cheap, but I wanted the table to look tasteful so I didn’t skimp on the nuts. After I poured the nuts in I simply placed a candle in the center. It was super simple to put together but makes a big statement on the table.
Are you setting your Thanksgiving table with items from Goodwill? Please share your photos with me on my Facebook page, I’d love to see your table setting.
Stay tuned for more of my Thanksgiving table from Goodwill, I’ve got plenty to share.

Happy Friday!
This morning I’m headed out the door to have breakfast with some of the ladies from my Latina group.
I know I’m going to be indulging in some great food so I made sure to wear something comfortable and stretchy out of my Goodwill closet. It pays to plan ahead, right?
I hope your Friday is awesome!

Would you say ‘yay’ or ‘nay’ to these yellow heels? Does the fact that they were $6.99 make you change your mind?
I said ‘yay’ to the shoes and they were the perfect accessory to wear with my bright yellow button up blouse, under a gray sweater, on a recent lunch date with friends.
All for $19.97, just call me Little Miss Sunshine!

When you’re shopping at Goodwill of Central Arizona make sure to pick up the Fall issue of their newsletter, “Good Stuff”. Not only will you read about what I’m on the lookout for when I shop Goodwill but better yet, you can read a list of 65 pretty cool things you didn’t know about Goodwill.
One of my favorite items on the list: “Not a single shoe donated to Goodwill of Central Arizona will end up in a local landfill.” Amazing!

It’s November 1st and the weather in Phoenix actually might be cool enough to wear my scarves from Goodwill.
If you love to wear scarves, Goodwill is a gold mine. I’ve never paid more than $3.99 and have many quality, designer brands and fabrics to call my own.
Eighty degrees means it’s scarf weather, right?
Have a wonderful first day of November,
The Goodwill Gal
