This red frame was purchased at goodwill...
So were these peep-toe heels...
and so was this sooo cute candy dish thing...I may complain about the crummy shopping here in our little town... but I must give credit where credit is due and say that we have the rockenist Goodwill ever. I thought Goodwill was like DI... some concept right? Oh no.. if DI and Goodwill got in a fight I would put my $$$ down on Goodwill. now... some of you may be above second hand shopping, but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta due and these are poor and desperate times people. And even if I were rich I think I would still just love going to see what treasures I could find. I love to go with my friend Megan because she can see anything there and think of somethings really cool to use it for. For instance: today while we were browsing she yelped from the next isle over like she spotted a Van Gough painting or something and come to find out she had just spotted this HUGE nasty gold and black frame that was like 3' x 6'. Very ugly at first glance- a whole lot of huge ugly frame ... but she had a the coolest idea for it and well she just has that talent- you know? Anyways... one of my favorite memories of living here will be a time that I went to Goodwill with Megan and she filled up my ENTIRE cart as will as hers and also bought a huge trunk. It was so funny- she was on fire grabbing things off shelves like a crazy woman and we were just dying laughing of what her husband was going to say. So... Goodwill I thank you for many good deals, fun memories, and also for being the catch all for all my junk that I have to clear out once I buy your junk. Ahhh... the circle of life.

You know Char, I always thought I had a good excuse for not having a cutely decorated pad while we were in school. But then we got to know you guys and I felt I no longer had that excuse. Now we are living real life and your stupid house still looks cuter than mine!!!!! Come decorate it please!
Goodwill rocks!! Nothing like getting a good deal. Cute stuff Char!

Hi! I found your blog from your facebook account. I thought I would take a look. Your boy is so cute and so grown up!
I love the DI so I understand your enthusiasm. Second hand is the way to go!!
Char.. this has nothing to do with your post, but last night while I was on the treadmill I thought to myself... I miss my workout partner!! Please come back! My hips need it!
You have our father's blood in you! Although I can only wear them while sitting down or a brief moment while standing, I love the gold heels you gave me when I came out there! he he he. Love the deals you find and share with the world. Deal finding is a talent~~I think you are very talented sister!

I just realized too that I have plagerized many of your entrys on mine. Sorry! I'm becoming Char in every way: laugh, blogging... now if I could just plagerize your hair I'd be set! Love you tons turkey buns.
Megan
