It’s getting late today, but I still have enough time to visit Goodwill before they close in about 45 minutes. I’m excited to see what they have today.
Hi everyone, welcome back to my channel. I’m Melissa Ringstaff, and I’m thrilled you’re joining me. In today’s video, I’ll share my recent trips to the local Goodwill and the one in Johnson City, Tennessee. I found some fantastic deals on Christmas decor, and I’d love to know if you also enjoy shopping for after-Christmas sales.
So, starting with my local Goodwill, I picked up a few items. First is this adorable moose ornament, perfect for the cabin theme in my family room. It has movable legs, a holly and berry detail, and felt antlers. It was $9, and I think it’s just perfect.
Next, I found this candy cane ornament for $9. It might be homemade, and I thought it would look great on my family room’s Christmas tree. It’s made of felt and has a charming vintage feel.
Also, for $9, I found a large scarf or throw. It’s in great condition, heavy-weight, with a herringbone pattern and a Mud Pie label. I think it’ll look fantastic in my family room.
Then, at the Goodwill in Johnson City, I bought a metal ‘Noel’ sign for $1.99. I love its distressed red paint and versatility. It could fit anywhere from a bookshelf to the bathroom.
I also got a wooden angel ornament on a stand, which adds nicely to my wooden decor. It was so sweet that I might use it right away, even though I typically start decorating for spring in early February.
I found two mugs for 99 cents each. One says ‘Santa’s Milk’ – perfect for Christmas – and the other, a vintage mug, says ‘Dear God, I just love Christmas.’ I plan to use these for my hot cocoa bar next Christmas.
Lastly, I bought a collection of vintage ornaments for $2.99. While I might not keep all of them, a few caught my eye, like the vintage snowman and a metal acorn bell with beautiful detailing.
Finally, I was thrilled to find a ‘Merry and Bright’ sign from Hearth and Hand for $2.99. It’s versatile enough to hang on the wall or lean on a shelf in the family room.
Overall, this trip to Goodwill was a success. I found some great items to enhance my home’s decor.
