Went Junkin'!

I had such a fun trip to the Goodwill! All the shelves were loaded with Christmas items and I brought home a few gems:@) My biggest purchase was this Christmas Pyramid, it's not a fancy handcrafted German one, just a wobbly, cheap knock off but it's colorful, different and most importantly-it works! I think the soldiers are great, we'll talk about that middle tier later... Overall I'm very happy with this $6.97 purchase.
You'll notice a lot of glue and sloppy workmanship, but that just means I can "embellish" it and make it my own without feeling guilty, and I have big plans for this piece... Stay tuned... 

I believe I actually gasped when I saw these cute little vintage ornaments! 
They each have a little wire in the top for hanging and will find a home on the little tree in the Santa planter centerpiece I posted about HERE. Yes, that's 47¢:@)

I picked up this adorable train for a craft project, $1.97.
Funny that it even has the original candles...
 I love the Santa.

And finally I found this handmade beaded angel ornament. Ma gave me a similar one many years ago that's red and green, it's one of my favorite ornaments. I was thrilled to find this one holding a candle to go with it!
 I told you it was a fun trip! 
Not to mention all the things that brought back memories that I enjoyed seeing but left behind. 

I hope shopping has been good to you too!
Have a happy day:@)
