My GoodWill Shopping Trip Score!

I am in LOVE with Goodwill stores.  I've always had an affection for all thrift stores, but since moving to Florida three years ago, I've learned to appreciate Goodwill stores here.  I don't know about your city, but around here, Goodwill continues to be the best second-hand store around town.  I really am impressed with the friendliness of their staff, the cleanliness of their stores, and the quality of their items.  Sure, there area always exceptions and "junk" areas of the store, but overall, they appear to be the "top of the line" when it comes to thrift stores.  I have three that are within a 15 minute drive of my home, and for that, I am certainly grateful.

Here's a few of my most recent favorite finds-

I've developed a love for vintage bakeware.  This small white and blue dish caught my eye, and for only $3.99, I couldn't leave it on the shelf.  I'm considering taking a few doors off of my kitchen cabinets and displaying some vintage dishes like this, but haven't made a final decision on that yet.

I was especially excited about this 1970's Corningware dish.  This is the exact same pattern that my parents received as a wedding gift, and my mom still has many pieces that they use today.  She doesn't have this size dish though, so I grabbed it at $4.99 and will give it to her next time we're together.  It doesn't have a lid, but I'm hoping to find one on another Goodwill trip soon.

I have a love for green glass, and have many pieces on display in my kitchen and family room.  This pitcher seemed perfect for my kitchen windowsill, and a picked up half a dozen roses at Aldi yesterday.  I can't remember the price of this pitcher, but I'm sure it was under $5.

    

Those who know me well would know that I can't go to Goodwill without spending a large amount of time in the linen section.  This trip was no different, and sure was productive as well!  I found two pillowcases (each for $0.99) and two fitted sheets (each for $2.99).  I love the bright colors in these bed linens.

Where do you love to shop for thrift items?  Do you love Goodwill like me or do you have another favorite? What section do you head to first?
