I was super excited to find out that a brand new Goodwill opened up just 2 minutes from my house! The ribbon-cutting was on Wednesday, and I popped in on Thursday. It was nice and clean but way too early for any real treasures. A lot of Target cast-offs but I did manage to find this sweet pedestal bowl: Not sure if you can see the etching on the sides.
