Goodwill finds!

Yesterday Becca and I went to Moe's (delicious) and then to Goodwill and JoAnn's Fabric. Excellent finds all around. I found some fantastic vintage kitchen items:


An ice bucket for $3.95. It was in perfect condition until I dropped it and broke the handle on the lid. Fortunately, I didn't really like the handle to begin with, and it can easily be replaced. I'm actually going to use it on my counter to store my bags of coffee to keep things nice and tidy.



And for lack of official terms, a wrap dispenser for $3.60. This thing amazes me. Each little door opens up to hold a roll of aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper towels, and each door is labeled. The edge of the door has little teeth to tear it. I just love it. And I think my mom might have the matching bread box. I tried using the bottom door for plastic wrap, but the tearing teeth aren't really designed for it. Great for the few paper towels I use though.
