This week at Goodwill...

Someone picked up THIS:

  {he also had to take a trip to Guitar Center for 12 strings}

 But, he was proud of his $14 purchase

And it really is quite entertaining watching him play

 I picked up these three sweeties

 The inside of the Vintage train case is in perfect condition.  

I didn't need it, but for $.97 how can you not purchase it for storage?!?

 The two plaid cases made their way to my oldest son's basement bedroom.

I'll have to wait until he's back from college to find out what he will store in them....

{his room offers a large amount of options to choose from-

shoes, magazines, books, cd's, junk, dirty laundry, etc etc}

 Anytime I find something old and well-loved, 

I wonder about its history...

Where did it come from?  

Where has it been?

Who used it?  

What secrets does it hold?

These two came home with me on a different Goodwill trip.

They were just the right color and just the right price

They are a little overly loved

but their flaws are somewhat comforting.
