WHAT CAME FROM WHERE?

I went to both Goodwill and TJ Maxx and found some fall items to decorate with this year.

I am often surprised at how nice some of the things are at Goodwill and other thrift stores. Sometimes they look just as nice as what you would pay a lot more for at the regular stores.

So, can you tell what I got at Goodwill and what items came from TJ Maxx?

Don't forget, if you have not yet signed up for my Autumn/Fall giveaway you still have time.

Hugs,
Joanne

    Hi Joanne,
    I like all the things in the pic. So, it wouldn't matter where it came from.

    If I had to guess I would say the pumpkins and bird from TJ Maxx????

    Hi Joanne...I would say the bird and frame from TJ Maxx and the rest from Goodwill. I have found some nice things at Goodwill. However, TJ Maxx I think is very expensive. Maybe I just don't have time to look through the clearance stuff there!!

    Hugz,

    My guess would be the tray is from TJ's and the rest of the beautiful collection is Goodwill.

    I love thrifted treasures and re-purposed goods.

    The bird would look beautiful on the buffet next to the FALL teapot/cup set. Nice finds!

    I think the pumpkins came from Goodwill. Someone's husband was cleaning out the garage and said, she doesn't need these.....
    Love, Ann
