Today was the opening day for the Goodwill store in Huntley. Of course, I had to go. It was a mob scene. You couldn't even get around the store. The employees were constantly putting out new merchandise, so I had to go thru the store a few times. I found the kids some items and I found a really old, neat porcelain dish for 49 cents. I also found a really nice aluminum basket with a glass dish insert for 99 cents and an old wrought iron basket with a wooden handle for $1.99. The best find were 2 vintage tablecloths. The one is a map of Florida and is very colorful. It will be going up for auction on Ebay soon. It is highly collectible. I also found 2 nice pins, of which one will be used on my knitting projects. The best part of all is that I had a 20% off coupon to use. (I have 2 more to use that are good until the end of November). Looks like I will be going back quite often.
Down the road from the Goodwill on Rte 47 is the Sweat Repeats Thrift Store. I stopped in and found another crocheted apron. This one is in blue and white. I also found a pink apron and it was half off since it was pink for Breast Cancer Awareness month. Not bad for $1.50. I also found another pin to use on my knitting projects. Next week they will open the Christmas wonderland, so I'll stop by again then.
This is going to be a fun treasure hunt filled week. Tomorrow is the Huntley First Congregational Church rummage sale. I never miss this huge one. Then on Friday is the Autumn Drive in Woodstock where about 13 farms/homes open up for selling goodies, pumpkins, you name it. It is a lot of fun and the weather should be cool for some Autumn fun. My cousin Barb and friend Mary will be joining me. I can't wait!
