I was driving home from a meeting this morning, and had just a few minutes to swing into Goodwill. You never know what you can find there. Sometimes, nothing...other times, just the thing you've been wanting!
I always justify going in, on the basis that "I'm just looking...for the kids." I lie like a dog...and trick myself into walking right in! But, today, I was so glad I did.
Since we just moved into a new house, I've got house on the brain. I was absolutely thrilled when I happened to see this lovely cake stand.
I was even more happy when I saw the price tag of $4.99. I can't wait to bake a Christmas cake. (Any great recipes that I should try?)
I also found a fun Southern Living at Home tray for only a couple bucks, and a great lamp shade for $3. I was so happy.
This was definitely a simple pleasure for my day! Have you ever found anything stunning for a steal?
My mum bakes a super boiled fruitcake that is really moist and yummy. She also puts up a post for Dayle's Simple Pleasures Thursday so I will get her to send you the recipe, if you like. I know she won't mind doing it.
ReplyDeleteI am a thrift store shopper too. I've found a few real treasures that way :-) Your cake stand is fabulous and perfect for your Christmas cake! blessings..Trish
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing ....I must stop at the goodwill ...you got some greata deals
ReplyDeleteI want to visit YOUR Goodwill. I'm addicted to dropping by ours but I rarely if ever find a thing. If I do, it tends to be overpriced.
ReplyDeleteI'm lovin' that cake plate. Since I'm a huge SLAH fan, I'm sure I would like the tray too.
I WANT THAT!!! :) This is right up my alley. Don't you love a good bargain?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! I can just see a red checked ribbon running through the openings & a red velvet cake sitting on top. TOO Good! Joining you at Dayle's.
ReplyDeleteYAY! Love the cakestand-- can't wait to see the events and tablescapes where you use it.
