A Good Goodwill Find!

Today was a good day at Goodwill!


While looking for a desk chair for a client, I spied a MacKenzie-Childs soap pump dispenser.  There was a GW ticket on the bottom so I wasn't actually sure if this was a MacKenzie-Childs item but when I got home, I found the markings.  The dispenser was priced $1.99 but with my senior discount, I paid $1.39.  I checked online and discovered that these sell for $50.00...not too bad!


This is the second MacKenzie-Childs item I have found at Goodwill this year.  I found a beautiful square platter that was marked $9.99 but it was the half off color of the day so I ended up paying around $5.00 for it.  A similar platter sells for $195.00 on the MacKenzie-Childs website - but my platter is no longer produced so could bring a higher price.  I gave it to one of my daughters who treasures it.

I also purchased 4 frames, a darling cup and saucer and a metal container that will hold herbs when I get around to planting them.  I never did find the chair - guess I'll  have to go back to Goodwill another day!
