Not sure if you guys remember from our last post or not but, WE LOVE GOODWILL. We love all things vintage and all things cheap! And at goodwill we always find some really awesome things, that are not only vintage but generally cheap! SO. Today we are going to show you guys the mini shopping haul that we had!
Sunday afternoon was crispy, sunny, and warm. As in, the perfect treasure hunting day! To us going thrift shopping is probably in our top five of favorite adventures! So off we were, we put our hawk eyes in and our minds went to work looking for adorable new things to get for our little apartment!
As you can imagine our constant thrift shopping has definitely filled our house to the brim! But hey, if there’s a will there is always a way, to find a place, when there really isn’t a place. Our kitchen has especially received too much attention and is overflowing with different things! I’m sure you guys know that apartments aren’t always known especially for their spacious kitchens, and ours in no exception! But we wouldn’t trade that kitchen for the world! Not only has it provided us a fun place to decorate but it has also been a wonderful provider of food and baked treats! And if we don’t have our food and treats we are very grumpy people!
So of course we bought some items for our kitchen, even though it is full! Imagine that. We are so good at making responsible life decisions.
One of the items we bought at goodwill for our kitchen was actually a pineapple shaped pot holder! We absolutely love it because number 1- it’s a pineapple. Number 2-we love pineapples. Number 3-it is vintage. Number 4-Once again—it’s a pineapple!
The copyright on this awesome pot holder is 1976! And it is B-E-A-UTIFUL. We love the gold color and fun design. And can you just imagine the history of this little guy and how through all of that he ended up in our hands? (Yes, our pot holder just developed a gender.) We scored this little guy for a pretty good price of $1.99.
This was only the beginning of our little goodwill adventure. We were just settling into the whole thing. The next item we found for our kitchen was an adorable little bread tile. We had never heard of anything like it until we saw this at goodwill. You heat it up in the oven and then place it in a basket with your bread to keep it warm. We love, bread, especially warm bread, so this was a good find! Plus it’s pretty cute looking in our kitchen so, we needed it. We did not say want, we need. Bad. This jewel was only .59 cents. We couldn’t beat the price so we got it!
The next thing that we bought for our kitchen was an adorable vase! It fits perfectly into our Mexico/desert theme we have going in our kitchen. We are so happy about this purchase as well. Not going to lie, he and our pineapple were probably our absolute favorite finds over the weekend! However, we have to slow it down a little on the kitchen decorations. (Like that will ever happen!) Anyway, check this little guy out, we got him for $2.99!
Our final find at goodwill is something we definitely do not need more of. We found a set of four vintage cups. They are country blue speckled mugs. And they are soooo cute. They reminded us of the metal version of these mugs that you take camping! The brand of the cup is Mikasa Ultrastone and they are made in Japan. We really love Japan glassware. When we saw these cups we knew we just couldn’t live without them. They just called our names from that metal shelf amongst the rest of the items. Waiting for us to take them home! These cute cups were only .59 cents each. Take a look at them in the pictures below! We only took a picture of the 3 but we do have four.
We hope that you guys enjoyed coming on this little adventure with us! It certainly was a fun one to share! Goodwill has consumed our lives (whoops)! Anyway guys until next time!
