Happy Holidays and the Goodwill Store

The Goodwill Stores are wonderful places to shop for those of us looking for an alternative to Macy's, Neman Marcus and other high price stores.  I do not intend to put them down as I use them for donations and also for jigsaw puzzles and other things. We are blessed that we do not have to depend on them.

Having said that, Rosemary (my sister) and I went shopping in Lacey at the Goodwill store for jigsaw puzzles while we were visiting Grandma this last weekend.  Every now and then in life you find yourself falling into the 'silly mode'. If anyone is offended by this blog, then you can blame me as I egged Rosemary on and then came back with Grandma and pulled her into the sillies also.

Could this also be one of those "Dear Santa" lists?

Hats, hats, and more hats.

Doesn't Rosemary look totally thrilled to be here and posing with the hat that she picked out?  Hey Vern - Do you really think she would like one of these?

Gee, I'm glad Bill doesn't read my blogs or I just might find one of these under our tree on Christmas Day!

We all should recognize this fine lady and the knitted hat she is wearing.  All of us have one, two or more of her hand knitted hats (if you are lucky!).  She is quite the sport to come to Goodwill and do the 'sillies' also.

 

So much for hats.  All women love just the right handbag to carry all of their essentials in...  (Santa are you getting hints?)

 Could this be high on Rosemary's wish list?

 Or Sue's?

Or Mom's????

If you are actually reading this for hints of Christmas gifts, then continue on.  A woman's wardrobe is not complete without just the right pair of shoes.

Look what Rosemary found just waiting for her....

 

They might not make it through a Kennewick winter but think how snazzy they would be when summer comes.

 

You know, I could maybe get used to these!!!! Dear Santa, please put them on your list.

Rosemary and I did find some hidden gems - jigsaw puzzles and exercise DVD's.  If you are a jigsaw puzzle fan this is the place to find them.  Most of the puzzles have all the pieces.... some don't and are marked (or maybe not) but what deals and then after you finish the puzzle you can either donate it back to Goodwill or pass it along to a friend.  If you have a break room at work then bring one and see what happens.

 Mom and a Goodwill puzzle!

Happy Holidays from all of us :-)
