A quick stop to the Goodwill Outlet shortly before Halloween, revealed a handful of treats and a few tricks as well. The collection of vintage 8mm horror movies were definitely a treat…but a few silver pieces that seemed to be stamped as sterling but turned out to likely be silver plated were a little bit of a trick (but I should know better). None the less, it was a good haul. Here’s the video link for this set of finds: https://youtu.be/LuSxNv1RbYo
I did a little Goodwill Outlet shopping and also did some garage sale and estate sale shopping. Which yielded better results? You be the judge!
First: the Garage Sale and Estate Sale Haul
And here are my finds from the Goodwill Outlet…
I spent about the same on both these hauls. Which one do you think I got more value from?
I had multiple opportunities to visit Goodwill Outlets over the weekend while staying with my husband and some of his friends from High School for their annual reunion. We ended up staying at a home that was formerly a store that the creator of Raggedy Ann and Andy visited as a young man – and that happened to be across the street from his childhood home (which was torn down to make way for the Interstate that runs through the middle of the city). As such, that made the house we were staying in the de facto headquarters of all things Raggedy Ann related in Indianapolis. So you can only imagine my surprise and delight to find a Raggedy Ann doll on my final shopping trip. I decided to leave that doll as a gift for our hosts because (as you’ll see in the second video) they didn’t have quite enough Raggedy Ann memorabilia in the house. It also seemed like a fitting place for her to be.
