Goodwill shopping...I found gold?

[jasonluckydog]

I hit Goodwill now about twice a month hunting for treasures and I believe I got a good one.

I found this original oil painting by Elizabeth Baron on canvas

This is her website some of her paintings sell for 2K.

http://art.elizabethbaron.com/

I paid $25 for it

The painting is huge it's about 3 feet high..

I'm not going to try and sell it at the moment, hanging in my bedroom.

That one was not in her gallery....must be paint by number.

The painting I have was made in 2005 and yes it's not on her website. It appears she just sells originals and sells prints of them for $50. I could be wrong but I'm going to email her about it.

90% of my wardrobe is from the Goodwill.

I have Hollister, Abercrombie, Nautica you name it!

It is an awesome Goodwill in Clarksville, TN. It is near a military base so wifes chuck theirs husbands poo all the time, not to mention (I am a former soldier so I know) soldiers waste like CRAZY.

Goodwill is a great place to go. Now that there's one right around the corner from me, I'll go more often. My neighbor's boyfriend got a heck of a deal on a desk top computer. He only really wanted it for the case, but found out that it really decked out inside. (I guess Freedom GW has the computers?) A few upgrades and he made her a really nice system.

Everytime I go into a Goodwill, I end up with at least 3 polo shirts. (My main form of dress now-a-days.)

Another great place to shop in Charlotte is that place out on North Tryon. (The one that advertises the school uniforms.) Years ago, my ex-fiancee got a DK black dress for like $25! (IF it was a knock off, it was a really good one!)

I stop by Goodwill every couple weeks as well. How did you know you might have found something worthwhile? Did you know the artist name or work? Or did you just see it and think it was one of those items that was out of place at Goodwill?

As soon as I walked in I spotted that painting way across the store about ran too it, lol.. I saw it was signed and it was canvas so I claimed it and pulled out my trusty Droid did a quick search and BAM! I had a good one.My girlfriend was dont buy it it's too much and I said hell no this is mine, my money you dont work so keep quiet lol...btw she is happy with it now after I showed her the website.

I go by instinct and watch too many AE/History channel shows to know what too look for.
