Owassoooo Gooooodwill

Unlike the Goodwill stores in Austin, which are primarily filled with buyout items, the Owasso, OK Goodwill still actually has thriftable merchandise. I popped in with my mom, Eric and Becca for a peek and came away with some great finds.

Two blue glass bowls, one round and one rectangular, that will sit great with my many blue and white dishes. I think I may have the round bowl in clear as well. Someone I know has it. Any claimers?

This charming little figurine is actually a box. The top tier of her dress lifts off to reveal a nice place to stash some goodies. I didn't buy it. Don't worry, you're not getting it for Christmas or anything.

This WHITE statue of Artemis with a stag is made from that marble-looking plastic that I like so much. It'll be great in the front room if I can find a place to put it.

I picked up this little blue box for April because it is decorated with two of her favorite things: unicorns and owls. I also found something else wonderful for her, but it was a little delicate and will be transported by car later. The flight home only had two other people on it! If I had known I would have packed up all the glass and just carried it on. I felt like I was on my own private plane and am not sure how much longer ExpressJet will be in business.

I also found a cookie cookbook from Southern Living from the mid-eighties that is full of great recipes and information on historic Southern baking. You can read more about it on bigYELLOWbowl.
