#2: The Goodwill


In the early hours of 1902, a Methodist man by the name of Edgar Helms decided to open an organization, gathering up torn and broken items, only to be fixed by people who needed the $. Today, this organization earns billions of dollars every year, using 84 percent of the profit to provide those in need with jobs, training & support. Proof >>
Now I'm going to tell you why I enjoy the bright blue character's company.


Sweet, funky clothing that is CHEAP
I told my mom I wanted to go the Goodwill after Christmas- yes, for me it was PART of my christmas present. (I wanted some unique clothing pieces that couldn't compare to the plain black turtle necks and sweaters I got.) And I was ready to embark on the adventure of not knowing WHAT I would find. Well, this particular trip was one of the best, granting me 3 blouses, 2 sweaters, a dress, tee and two pairs of Keds for all under 20 bucks. Miracle? Indeed.

One find: An Anna Sui Dress.  How much you may ask?
   $3    
Another: A Kilamanjaro Safari shirt, with Tanzania & many happy zebras displayed proudly on it.    $1     : )
