Goodwill wishes

This was supposed to be posted before I went on the latest Goodwill treasure hunt. But, I am having huge issues with my computer. So this post is a little late – but oh, well.

I have a mission on what I want to find at the Goodwill. This time I am looking for a glider chair to rock the kids. The white wooden rocker I have now squeaks and shifts while I rock, this can be quite annoying. Have you ever moved a rocker to another location while sitting with a squirmy 30+ pound toddler on your lap? It’s frustrating. So I give up and will look for a glider tomorrow.

Also, I am going to be on the lookout for a queen size mattress cover for my granddaughter’s full tall custom built pillow top mattress. I am hoping a queen will be able to reach over the pillow top mattress and I won’t have to cut and sew extra panels or cut out extra material to fit the bed.  I haven’t gotten around to making the full flannel sheet that I bought last Sunday; this is one of my projects for Spring Break.

In addition, my oldest daughter is looking for inexpensive baskets to hold sugar scrubs. So I will be scouring each Goodwill to see if I can find some baskets (woven or metal) within her price range to hold 3 to 4 pint jars. 

Just remembered- I needed something for outside to feed my cats so the dog doesn’t eat their food. It seems like the dog is chowing more on the kitty food than the kitties. My solution is to get one of those suction cup bowls for babies that include a removable bowl that we could bring inside when the cats are done eating. Now I just need to find one at the Goodwill.

 Including in my above treasures I will look for intriguing objects for my garden to plant or yard art.

Wish me luck!
