Goodwill Trip & Some Random Good Finds

So...
You may or may not know, but I love goodwill. I am not ashamed to say that I do shop there, I mean, come on it's like a big yard sale (which I also love by the way). Like there is so much stuff for like crazy cheap, and sometimes I find some crazy good and cute stuff. Chad will tell you that when I go into goodwill I will get a cart and just walk around putting anything and everything into it that I like or maybe kinda sort like and will have the thing full in like 15-20 minutes. Then it takes me forever to sort through everything and find what I want and then of that stuff, find what I have enough money for. I always feel really bad leaving things behind that I want really bad. All in all I just have a super fun time in there, like I have way more fun than an individual should. So, the other day I went into Goodwill with Chad and I only had 4 dollars...and of course I found A TON of cute stuff. I went through the clothes and found like 5 things I wanted, I found 3 adorable purses, and A BAZILLION cute random things that could go in my room and like home decor stuff....and I only had 4..freaking...dollars. To my happiness Chad said that I could pick out either one shirt or one purse and he would buy it for me (what a sweetheart right?) and I had to go with this cute little floral tank top, I just couldn't go home without it.



Then I went and picked out 4 things to buy with my 4 dollars out of the little home decor section. I was looking for cute little things to put in my new bedroom when I get my new house, and I am on the lookout for vintage and vintage-esk pieces. I had come to the perfect place apparently.  So the things I picked out were as follows:

An old picture/painting that I fell in love with


A cute little flower shaped saucer/bowl which I have been on the look out for for quite a while.




A little gold elephant. I thought he was so cute! :)

And finally this little square container. (It's not really vintage, but I have been needing something like this for storage so I figured I'd get it.)



Chad was also nice enough to buy the little elephant for me, because it turned out that I wouldn't have enough money for everything. Again, he is so sweet! 

And all my amazing things only cost me $3.21. A steal!



So, yeah, that was my successful goodwill trip and the things I came out of it with. Once I get some more money, I am for sure returning to pick up the stuff that I had to leave behind. I'm planning on selling some stuff and Platos Closet, and doing housework for mother so hopefully money will be coming my way soon! :)
