Westheimer Goodwill

I assume most people driving

through the Galleria area of Houston

are headed to stores just a tad bit different

than my destination.


When time permits, on my drive home to the valley from my daughter’s,

I like to stop at the

Goodwill Store on Westheimer.


In fact, my last stop involved persuading my

husband that I would only be a minute,

and wasn’t it lucky he had the newspaper to read while waiting in the truck?



This is what I found.

This gold angel was $4.99


(I found the iron retablo at Harrell’s Drug Store

in Kingsville, and I almost squealed when I spotted it.)

I was really lucky that day at the Goodwill, and I found these.

An iron stand with a large mercury glass globe-

$12.99.

Four iron candle holders-

$5 each.

Two iron stands with clear globes-

$8.99 each.

And a red velvet, quilted bed jacket with pretty buttons-

$4.

I am either going to wear it while propped up in bed ringing a bell,

or more likely,

it will become a tree skirt or centerpiece runner.
