Hiya lovelies... sorry, it took me so long to update my BLOG but my girls came home & we took a lil vacay to the Sunshine State and can you believe the resort did NOT have FREE Wi-Fi!!!! So as promised here are a few pic's from the
the nationwide I <3 Thrifting event, spear-headed by Rashon, aka Mr. Goodwill Hunting
I got word of the I <3 Thrifting event from Katie Mac of the The Mac Styles and thought it was just for Houston. Nonetheless, I took the initiative to order a T-shirt just to show my support. I didn't find out until the night before (via twitter) that there were several thrifting groups in Atlanta that were actually going to participate, but my group was lead by none other than two fabulous females, Erika of BLu Label Bungalow and Dayka of Meditations on Life and Style. This was my very 1st time meeting both women and you would have thought we had known each other forever.... They welcome the entire group with open arms!!!!
Our group gathered at our first stop, the Goodwill at NorthLake.

| I never thought I would find myself shopping at a Goodwill... I guess it's a 1st time for everything! |
Our next stop was My Favorite Place... An Atlanta Landmark. It was my 1st time ever going but I found some great deals on trinkets and what nots!
 |
| You can literally spend hours in this place! |
 |
| A few of us bloggers... |
 |
| Erica found this lamp shade... I'm sure she will create a masterpiece! |
We decided to make one more quick stop to another Goodwill where we spent most of our time snapping pics because we were actually READY to EAT!

| Dayka, Erica, & Niki |
 |
| SAY CHEEZ! |

| Tiffany & I - Be sure to check out her creativity on Esty |
 |
| O, did I mention Lunch was DELISH! |
 |
| Wonderful Women w/ a Unique Style |
 |
| Kerri has agreed to take me under her wings and teach me ALL about thrifting! |
After lunch we headed to our final destination... Goodwill in Sandy Springs
We were met by Elaine Armstrong, the North Georgia Director of Public Relations for Goodwill, and a 11-Alive news photographer was on site to capture all the fun we were having. We were also invited to shop in the Goodwill store that is scheduled to open on August 4th in McDonough, GA

| We saved the BEST for LAST... This was the BEST Goodwill of the day! |
