I <3 Thrifting with Mr. Goodwill Hunting!

Picture-21

Rashon Carraway, of Mr. Goodwill Hunting, came up with this great idea to have an I Love Thrifting day all over the country where we all meet up in our hometown for a day of thrifting fun.  I’ll be hosting the group for Arizona – EVERYONE IS INVITED!  I’m so excited to hopefully meet some of my local readers, fellow bloggers and a few of the other furniture refinishers in the area that I admire so much!

Check out Mr. Goodwill Hunting’s blog for thrifting locations in your area.
Here’s the low-down on the schedule:

  2. I am so excited to join you for this. I have long wanted to be a thrift store purchaser but haven't the foggiest idea of what I'm doing. It seems like other people always find fantastic treasures that with a little TLC become gorgeous additions to their homes but I'm quite sure I wouldn't have any idea what to buy. I'm thrilled to just follow you around and watch you treasure hunt since I don't even have a house to buy for yet! See you next Saturday!

  4. I'm can't believe i'm going to miss meeting Arizona thrifters!

    Last weekend was the grand opening of the newest Goodwill on Country Club and Southern. I believe the
    location on Southern is now closed. I sent your info. along to Goodwill via twitter to confirm. Would hate for your party to miss shopping at Goodwill.

    Have a wonderful time and good look with the hunt!

  11. Okay I admit it... I'm a thrift store shopaholic! Couldn't possibly pass up the chance to attend an "I <3 Thrifting" event! Stacie Cheney and I are looking forward to joining you. P.S.- Not a word to our husbands... they may try and send us to rehab for our bargain shopping addiction. (-:

  12. Oh, I wish I could join you. I love me some thrift stores and I haven't checked out the restore yet. But, I will be out of town. I'll have to go thrifting in Utah :) So glad you had a great #28 on the 28th.
