Cozy Up for Fall with These Goodwill® Projects
Autumn is hitting us hard in the Northeast. In typical New England fashion, our weather was sunny and 80 degrees one week, then we were surprised with frost warnings the next.

Let’s all just settle in and ready our homes and ourselves for the cooler days ahead. Of course, that means we’ll have to start with a trip to Goodwill®! Here’s what I’ll be looking for.

If you’re looking to spruce up that one wall of your living room, or to extend a certain decor theme throughout your home in order to tie every room together, displaying a collection can be an easy and effective way of doing that.

Vintage Goodwill® Finds: The Possibilities Are Endless
When it comes to buying vintage at a reasonable price, you can’t do better than Goodwill®. Although antique shops and curated secondhand stores may be more obvious places to browse when you’ve got vintage on your mind, their for-profit markups can be disappointing. Goodwill’s mission, on the other hand, is not to make a profit, but to better the local community. That means you will be able to get much more bang for your buck when shopping at Goodwill (and you can feel good about your purchases, too)!

Thrifting: A Cure for the Rainy Day Blues
On rainy days, I feel the pull of my television, and it’s almost as though my pajamas are a second skin. When I accept these conditions and sink into the couch to pass my day, though, at the end of it I’m left feeling pretty rotten. Here’s my solution to combatting the rainy day blues: pull on your favorite sweater (just as cozy as pajamas!) and head to Goodwill®.
Planning the Perfect Picnic with Goodwill®
What’s your favorite thing about August? Mine is picnicking! I feel like June is for wrapping up loose ends at work or school before slipping into the excitement of July with fireworks, BBQs, and the beach. But in August, the days seem calmer and quieter, with just the buzz of cicadas to keep time. In my humble opinion, August was made for picnics.
