~ Yesterday's GW Find ~

I went shopping with my daughter and the "girls" yesterday...Michele wanted to stop at Big Lots and the GW store is right next door to it! So I ran in there real quick...no time to really look, but I did find this neat vanity suitcase for $1.69!!! This is my fourth one and I have them in my bedroom... here is a pic of the four!
I also moved my bench and crocks full of rollingpins and wood spoons that I had under my clock to this side of the keepingroom...I really like it there.

Here's a question for you...which candle should I use here...the dark one or...


the lighter colored one that I got at GW for .49 ?




I hope you are having a good spring day, it's sunny here but chilly! Well, I have to go and get my picture taken for my driving licence:)

  1. Hey Rondell! Nice score on the case! I like things like that too.
    I like the darker candle because it shows up better.
    It's sunny here too and a very pretty day. Hope you get to enjoy your day as well!

  2. Rondell,

    What a great price on the suitcase! Our prices at GW just aren't THAT good!

    I do love the bench where you put it! That's such a nice prim corner!

    I think I'm partial to the darker candle on the table. I know the lighter colors are coming in, but I just love the contrast of it against the light table. But you definitely couldn't go wrong with either one....they both look good.

    Have a great day!

  4. I love that case and I like the way you have them stacked. I love both candles but I think the darker one is a nice contrast to the lighter things you have there.

    Blessings,

  7. I keep looking for suitcases like that, but I haven't had any luck. I think I like the dark candle--but I have always leaned toward darker colors. Have a great day. Julie

  8. My Nanny had a vanity suitcase. She loved it and took it everywhere. I think I agree the darker candle looks better.

  11. Hi Rondell, I like the case you found at GW. I have to say the lighter candle. It looks more put together with the lighter one and keeps it softer looking. I love the look of those boxes on that table. Great colors! Have a nice afternoon.

  20. Hi Rondell,
    Great suitcase. I like both candles, but my eye was immediately drawn to the light candle. I like that one a little better as it keeps the whole grouping softer...but I think that you could go with either one as they both look great!
    Love where you put your bench. It looks great there.

  22. Love the new case! I have had that idea in my mind for some time and am just waiting to find some nice ones. They look lovely.

    I like the light candle. To me it looks more authentic.

    Wishing you a happy spring,
    Lea

  23. I like the light-colored candle.

    How come you find all the best deals?? No fair...LOL...you do have a knack...

  24. Hello Rondell-What a steal on the vanity case. My suggestion on the candle is the light one but with a little something under it to off set all the light and round objects. I think you need just alittle square piece of fabric or candle rug in some colors to pull the whole theme together. Good luck.

  25. Your collection of old suitcases is just wonderful and I love how they're displayed! Again, we never have anything of value (even re-do value) at our GW stores. I think anything of value is taken by workers before it gets on the shelves.
    I go for the darker candle as well.

  28. Hi Rondell! Oh we love Goodwill don't we?! :) I have had so much fun there lately! I love your finds! The vanity suitcases are just darling. I love the blue..in all of your displays. And I like the lighter candle. I think it goes well with all the soft colors in your gathering. Sometimes sticking with the same color tone is beautiful! Take care. ~Sarah~

  30. Well it sounds like the majority agree on the darker candle. Love all your new pictures. you are getting such a nice collection of blue going. It looks so colonial! Great job. And the stack of suitcases is so much fun! I wish I could find some really old ones around here that were really colonial. I keep looking!!

    I hope the sun is shining there like it is here! Have a great day!

    hugs, Linda
