Goodwill WHAT?

I had heard the rumors - there was supposedly a new Goodwill Outlet just a short drive from my house but could it be true? Bins and bins of Goodwill castoffs to purchase BY THE POUND? I just had to check it out!
Here it is in all it's glory! For my Denver friends, click here for the address. Yes, huge gigantic bins of stuff (I hesitate to say crap, but a lot of it was). It's a rummage sale - every day. Mostly everything was mixed together as far as clothes go, and then some bins had housewares, toys, books, movies, you name it all mixed together. I did, indeed, find some treasures...

Like this 1945 McCall's Needlework Magazine. It doesn't have a cover but the pictures and ads inside are SO COOL!! I am really thinking about framing a few of them for my new studio/office/craft room downstairs.

I also found this Needlecraft book from 1975 (I have a weakness for vintage crafting books and magazines!).
Among other finds (a Barbie bike helmet, 3 VCR movies, 4 other kids books, some Coors suspenders and a few random toys) I also found this Polly Pocket playset, and this Barbie playset. Both had all parts and were in great condition.

It's hard to say how much each thing cost, because after all was said and done my grand total was $10. I can't wait to go back!

The following things were picked up at random spots in the last few months...

1960's Lipstick Holder
Scored for: $3
Value: $50+

Vintage Kids Table and Chair Set
Scored for: $25
Value: ?

I recovered the chairs which had several holes in them, and the table which was really faded and had lots of marker/crayon that I couldn't get off.

SeaWees Coral Doll (and baby, not pictured)
Scored for: $4
Value: $10+

My sister and I used to play with Sea Wee's ALL THE TIME! We have both been looking for them forever since we now both have little girls of our own that we are sure would love them too. I finally found Coral and her baby at a local antique shop. Unfortunately about 10 seconds after we got home we lost the baby, but I know she is somewhere around here!

*** UPDATE ***
Mer-baby was FOUND! She was in a boot by the front door. Of course!

Happy Thrifting!
