Goodwill

Dear Goodwill,
I'm in LOVE.
Sarah
I have fallen in love with Goodwill! I have been trying to piece stuff together and here are some of the GEMS I have found at my neighborhood Goodwill!
Ok so the first one is this frame. It was $1.50! It was originally white but I have been really addicted to this color called Jade. So I went to Wal-mart got the spray paint and got to work.

The Next one I am absolutely in love with. It was originally gold and I got it for $1. Which I loved but like I said I am totally addicted to this Jade color so it got painted too! lol 



This next one is a little different. It is a little stand of sorts that I got for only $.50 but I really just wanted to add some hight to my mantle so it does the job. I should also mention that I am trying to incorporate more teals and shades of blue (which I think is why I have gotten stuck on Jade)



Next is a super cute cast iron candle holder. It was really dirty but for $2.50 I would be happy to clean it, paint it, and add it to my living room!

Last, but certainly not least are these gems! They were only $7 for the pair! Oh goodness they just had to be mine! With a little elbow grease, I'm sure I can have them sparkling like brand new!
I am thinking I had a pretty successful afternoon at Goodwill! Now where to put them all.........
lol 
Happy Crafting!

Oh my goodness!

So..... let's see..... So much has happened since I last posted. I have finished one semester, intersession, and started another. Work is crazy and I have been crafting it up! I feel like I am constantly finding more and more things I want to make. I have also just started selling on Etsy! Whoa! Who knew! and I think I am going to try and start working at craft fairs! But those are just ideas for now...... Now I'll start posting some of the things I have been up to.
