You had me at "fat ceramic turkey", but your other finds are equally amazing! Love the little sheep and would never have guessed it would have been in that box. Glad you rescued the little tree from the killer bows! A very productive shopping expedition! ~Roberta

Ree Leibrand said...

Your Goodwill has reasonable prices.The styrofoam ball would have been like $5 here. That little lamb is a "Putz" I believe....BIG score. Merry Christmas to you and all the Prim cats.

Have a very Merry Christmas Carmen.

Wonderful goodies, Carmen. I LOVE that Turkey! Too Cute!
Score on the styrofoam ball, Yay! I found 3 large ones like that at my goodwill, also, but I paid 99 cents each, still cheaper that Wal-mart.

Rachel said...

Way to score Carmen! Love the turkey!

cynthia lee designs said...

Oh Carmen, what great finds!! Love the sheep...I collected them, so if your little sheep strays away from him...he can come to my house.
I actually found a couple of things at our Goodwill this past week. Got a wood masher for .69 cents and a wood cutting board for $1.99. Used to find lots of prim goodies there, but not so much any more.

The sheep plaque is awesome. And better still, that little sheep with the carved wooden legs looks like one I saw in Early American Life in a past issue. I think you got a REAL
treasure there!
