I love getting gift cards as gifts……..
…….especially from Good Will!!!
I had no idea Good Will even gave gift cards!!
My daughter gave me one for my birthday back in October and I just now got around to spending it!
We took a day to go shopping at all the Goodwill’s around town!!! We actually have 4 that I know of but have a hunch there are more!!!
Today was “metal” day for me…….
My first find was this brass “pot”……I think it’s a decorative planter but has no holes in the bottom.
I love the detail of the gargoyle heads on the sides!!!
Of course, when I put it in my cart I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do with it but I knew one day, I would!
When I repurposed our kitchen eating area, I felt I needed to add a plant and the brass pot worked perfectly!
I just set the plant in the pot for now and covered the top with spanish moss!
Next, I found this wonderful copper rectangular pot! I can’t believe someone just gave this away!
I have yet to find the perfect place for it but, for now, it sits by my kitchen island with a garland of yellow pip berries and an old wooden spoon nestled inside!
I tried to polish the copper a little but it wouldn’t shine up so I decided it was beautiful just the way it was!
My last metal treasure is this beautiful silver piece. I think it looks like a shamrock!
It’s perfect for parties to set out nuts, candies or use as a condiment holder!
I know when my hubby gets home and sits down at his computer, these will be gone!! (I need do to something “crafty” with that purple computer mouse pad…..soon!).
There ya go! Not a bad day thrifting at Goodwill on someone else’s dime! Thank you my sweet daughter for the awesome gift card!
Until next time……..
Must be Gucci Goodwill cause I never find anything this good when I go. You should turn the planter to show off the lion knocker…or is it a buda face? You could use the other for magazines if you get tired of it in the office kitchen. And nuts for a nut? Sorry Mike! Looking fab Angie! ♥
I think the brass container is an ice bucket. Love your finds!
Great idea!! Thank you!
Your finds are fabulous and I had no idea you get get gift cards from goodwill either! I’m going thrifting today and I hope I find some things as wonderful as you did!
Way to go! I love the pot that you put your plant in. I’ve been looking for a basket or pot for one of our plants (it’s a little larger than yours) and they are so expensive. You did great.
I can’t decide what I love the most… All great finds!
I’m coveting that copper pot Angela and I can’t believe someone gave that away either. There are so many ways you can use it, or you can simply let it be a decorative piece in and of itself. It’s hard to see exactly how large it is or how deep, but it can maybe be used to hold towels in a bathroom, kitchen utensils, or a whole bunch of chocolate covered raisins. They’re my fav
And seriously, you have four Goodwills? And who knew about gift cards?! Clever daughter you have there.
Have a great weekend my friend!
It sounds like the Goodwill Olympics with all the metals (medals-I know). You got the brass and the copper and the silver. Whoo Hooo. GREAT finds! xo Diana
Beautiful sis…amazing pots at a Good will!
Thank you, Mike. Love you!!
Angela, what super great finds! I love Good Will! Your planter and basket are gorgeous. Enjoy your weekend!

I LOVE Goodwill and Thrift Town… I just love a good buy….
