Yeah, you should never downplay a trip to goodwill! I absolutely thrive on it! Especially for garden art. Have you seen my 'bad art' wall in the garden? It's the side of my workshop where I have a trellis for clematis (which have to be moved because they don't get enought sun there.) I have a small collection of 'artwork' that I get at places like GoodWill when something about it strikes my fancy. It has to be painted or drawn by hand and has to be a sincere effort. Then it has to 'speak' to me in some way. I got the one with the elephant in it after a sleepless night worrying that someone else would buy it. I saw it at the Goodwill and didn't get it. Then regretted it immediately upon getting home. I went back the next day. I don't even know why I like it, but it says 'childhood innocence' to me.

My bumble bee boots are a goodwill find. They still had the Nordstrom tag on them. I paid 5$. That's my kind of money. I get all my overalls there, too. But I have yet to find good woolies at Goodwill.
