EYECATCHERS
They aren't really suncatchers, and they are sort of like light catchers, but they sure are Eye Catchers!
My House of Goodwill: Movie Night
When we are schedule free on the weekends we have movie night. We’ve been having movie night since the kids were little and they love it! While I love to watch movies in the theatres, sometimes it’s nice to enjoy a movie in the comfort of your own home without having to get in the car and fight the crowds. It’s also a great time to watch some old favorites still on VHS!
Even Eve, my Goodwill hutch, gets into the action on movie night. Making a trip to the snack bar is one of the experiences of going to a movie so I shop Goodwill to dress Eve like a movie theatre snack bar. She serves popcorn, soda and treats. Everyone can help themselves to the snacks and I’m free to sit and lounge and enjoy the movie without any interruptions.
Family movie nights are a great way to enjoy some time with the family, you get to enjoy a movie and snacks and the bonus is, at the end of the night, you still have money in your pocket!
Make your day a feature presentation!

My House of Goodwill: Easter Decor
I’ve had this 3 tiered wired stand from Goodwill for quite some time. Right after I purchased it, I introduced it to my spray painting station and gave it a nice coat of creamy white.
It’s gone through some changes before (see HERE) but for the past year it’s been sitting beside my bathtub and was begging for a change so I took it to my spray painting station once again and this time, painted it light blue.
For an Easter display, I filled it with green paper grass, faux eggs, candy, fuzzy chicks and also hung some ceramic birds on the tiers. I also added the tray, another Goodwill find, just to contain the crazy wisps of grass. It’s the perfect Easter display for my kitchen island and I’m sure it probably get another change up for spring and summer.
I’ve certainly gotten my cost per use out of this Goodwill find which, let’s face it, that’s what thifty shopping is all about!
Have a wonderful day and don’t be afraid to change things up!

Goodwill goes to the Bahamas!
Armed with a bucket of sunscreen and the biggest hat I could find, I slipped on my green Banana Republic Tunic over my bathing suit and headed to what I thought was going to be a relaxing day poolside but my daughter had other plans for me. It was off to the water slides and raging river instead!
Another day in the Bahamas wearing another Goodwill find!
Life is good,
