50% off Christmas treasures from Goodwill!

We decided to take a drive into the city, as a sort of get away on
Sunday.
We stopped at several used furniture stores, looking for a trunk or
chest. You see, Mike bought me a cedar hope chest when we were
dating, and as tradition goes I've handed it down to Cortney, although
she physically doesn't have it yet. This is because I need a trunk or chest
to put the treasures I have stored in the hope chest into. I gave the chest
to her this past Spring and she has been patient, but.... does have need
for it as well.

We didn't have much luck in our search, but did find a few other treasures
and at 50% off , who can turn it down?

Here is a group shot, of the treasures we found, all total the cost was $12
Cortney and I had been looking for a tea pot for winter usage and this
only cost us $1.25.

I found this, I think it's pewter, anyway it's heavy. We love candles and

this can be used without much worry if the electricity goes out.

Can you tell we like anything snowmen? This cute canning jar is painted

with a snowman scene and makes a cute center piece for our table. I

believe the final cost on this was $1

We also picked up a couple of patterns for winter theme/ Christmas

projects. This is a little patch I thought would work for one of the patterns

to make stockings( see below)

Remember you can click photo to see larger version. It looks as if both

patterns can make a variety of items.
This was taken one morning before heading out to slop the pigs,

(pink bucket has hot mash for the pigs). Callie is drawn to sneaking a

drink from the water buckets. I guess she likes FRESH water, LOL!
