Goodwill: My New "Target"

I'm sold on thrifting. Took some things for drop off and decided to run in and see the store. I've donated to this Goodwill for over 10 years and have never stopped in. It didn't think it was as interesting as the Asheville one, but it's huge. 

Two scores. A small lamp and a jar for quotes in the LFL. I needed a jar that was the right size with a wide mouthed opening.

$1
I'll mod-podge decorate it.

$5 including lightbulb

I love vintage and antique shopping but the prices are usually $$$. Thrifting is an entirely different animal and the prices are fantastic while reusing items. Double win. I really wonder if I'll ever buy home goods from Target again.

The seed growing class was awesome. I learned so much -- it's almost a little overwhelming until I remembered I just want to have fun with the garden. A big-ish hiccup for my garden this year is our 13 day early May trip. Not sure how I can handle it, but I'll give it a go. If it tanks, I'll have time to plan for the summer again. I have a HUGE list to get ready before planting in April. Remember -- this is FUN lol.

The class ran long and the drive home was pouring rain and heavy fog. It wasn't fun. I had trouble sleeping having had an active night (with no dinner). But I'm really glad I went. I have a grow room set up and garden plan to make before the class in February. Lots to think about and learn.

Since there's no hike today and we have HVAC contractor here this morning (always HVAC at some house -- it's as bad as the dentist), I'm off to take a look at another Goodwill (or 2). Then home to work on garden plans and rock painting. It's another all-rain day. 

Stay dry. Later gators.
