What birthday gift do you get the person who has everything? A day at the Goodwill Outlet to get a little more of everything.

I had an absolutely delightful day looking for treasures…and I think I found a few…

Contenders for my favorite finds were a small (child’s) desk that I’m looking forward to re-sizing so that I can use it, the tin (shown above…that I was totally envious of when I saw it in someone else’s cart, so much so that I almost offered money to buy it from her…but then I saw it in a bin a little later in the day and realize she’d cast it off…and I also found Saturday evening posts from 1973 and 1976 which are coincidentally the years that my sister and I were born. But the winner was the sewing pattern, marked “September 1921” …which means someone was touching it 100 years ago this month…and they’d cut out pieces of the pattern from an old newspaper…which meant I got to take a look at bits and pieces of news from the 20s. So interesting!
