Super Big Moët & Chandon Champagne Bowl

April 12, 2015 By TheGoodwillGal

When I recently shopped Rare by Goodwill in Anaheim, (see my post HERE)

I picked up this fabulous silver champagne bowl.

I had seen something similar at Pottery Barn, but of course, I didn’t want to pay the Pottery Barn price so when I saw this one for $24.99, I had to have it!

I got this message from one of my reader’s on Facebook and was amazed to find out, when she sent me this screen shot,

that the same bowl is selling on Ebay for $300.00!

It big, it’s heavy and perfect to use as an beverage chiller.

That’s a big party I’m going to have to have,

look at all that space!

While it’s not in use as a chiller, I decided to enjoy it’s beauty as much as possible.

What better place to enjoy it’s beauty than next to my tub.

I filled it up with white bath towels and some bubble bath.

I’m feeling so fancy right about now!

P.S. Who say’s a covered cheese board is just for cheese?

I bought this at Goodwill, painted it gray, and now it holds my soap.

I really feel fancy now!

My Goodwill Tour – Rare by Goodwill – Anaheim

April 6, 2015 By TheGoodwillGal

Over the weekend I was in Anaheim with my family for, what else,

a hockey tournament.

In between games, I managed to stop into Rare by Goodwill of Orange County.

Ever since I saw pictures of this store on Facebook, I’ve been wanting to visit this location.

It’s eclectic, creative and has an Urban Outfitters store vibe.

The store was loaded with designer jeans for men and woman

and a wonderful selection of clothing and shoes, bags and jewelry.

I loved these pendants lights which hang in the reading lounging area.

How cool is this reading area?

This wall of books is pretty creative, I’d say!

Jewelry.

Vintage cameras.

Something for everyone.

There are plenty of decor items to choose from, both vintage, antique and new!

Of course, I came away with some fun items for my house and will be sharing them with you as soon as I unpack!

I recommend you stop in and enjoy this fun shopping experience!

Spring and Easter Centerpiece Display

March 31, 2015 By TheGoodwillGal

I use trays all throughout the house, not only to use as serving trays

but to make the area more presentable.

A tray holds items for a little happy hour in my husband’s office.

(all items from Goodwill)

My living room has a mix of gold and teal and these vintage Culver glasses go perfectly with a gold tray in the room, more Goodwill finds.

Even my husband’s vanity area is not immune to my love of trays, here I corral some of his products.

This wicker tray is very large and works perfectly on the kitchen island.

I simply added some tulips to 3 of my Milk Glass vases to create a pretty Spring/Easter Centerpiece.

Do you use trays throughout your home? Someday I’ll share the shelf of my extra trays. If they’re the right price at the thrift store, I bring them home and use them everywhere.

‘till next time,

A YouTube Tour of My Farmhouse Kitchen

March 27, 2015 By TheGoodwillGal

I’m happy to announce the launch of my YouTube channel!

For my first video, I’m taking you into the heart of our home,

the farmhouse kitchen.

This is the prep and cooking area.

This is the area where the plates, bowl and drinking glasses are stored.

The big farmhouse sink makes for easy dish clean up,

if there ever was such a thing.

This is what it looked like during the winter/Christmas season.

In my video kitchen tour, I’ll give you a glimpse into my world of Milk Glass.

I have more room tours in the works, some DIY projects and some recipes so make sure to SUBSCRIBE

to my channel so you won’t miss one!
