OK this is the week!. Today is the end for donations! The GW parking lots are full. This treasure was seen on Old Wake Forest GW yesterday for $95.00. Someone will paint that and resell it for $225.00 or more.
If you are looking for items you'll be at the door when it opens or near the end of the day when they restock.
Happy New Year!
Happy Thrifting!
I love the Treasure Hunt at thrift stores. I google thrift,charity and consignment stores whenever I travel. Here in Raleigh I sell real estate so I'm all over town. I know where all the stores are located. I run through on a regular basis and just wanted to share. Somethings I re-sell,many I use to stage homes or give them to clients. In this economy it's even more special. I've given speeches on thrifting and coached friends and family on a successful "HUNT".

Antique Dresser
Just another run through! This beauty was $79.00! I bet their some folks in Historic Oakwood that would pay that and more!!
This is the time of year to scope it out. Remember when your dropping off for a last minute tax write off so is the rest of the town. I've seen amazing things this last week. This was at GW on 401 and New Hope Church...don't bother, I'm sure its gone now.
I was interviewed for a Real Trends blog on this site. She got most things right?!

Baskets!
How many of these have I bought? They usually are priced under $3.00. Baskets are great for gift giving. Right now one is sitting at a listing filled w/shoes! Looks much better than piled at the door.
I often give monogramed towels or pillows as closing gifts. These baskets are filled w/ tissue paper and gifts. Sometimes cleaning items, dinner, groceries or wine. It's so easy but the basket is special. The same price as a gift bag but so much more...

Make a Memory
My daughter, Ali and I made wreaths on Sat. night. The wreath frames are under $3.00 at most craft stores. Take a walk in the woods, create a gift and a memory!
If you'd rather a fake wreath. GW has them decorated or not! Check out the shelves of donated used Christmas decorations. Yesterday's treasure....for you today:)
