And since it is Summer – and how much more so since I’m obsessed with the seashore – we are going to look at some beautiful silver shore-themed jewelry.  Thirteen pieces of it!  A baker’s dozen.  Fisherperson’s dozen?  Something like that.  And ALL thirteen of these items were spotted on Goodwill of Greater Washington’s Shop Goodwill site!  DC Goodwill has so many good seashore themed jewelry and other items, online and off.  I also have an impressive collection of links to their gold, sea glass, and seashell jewels on SGW.  To say nothing of all the other shore-themed treasures there, and elsewhere!

HAPPY PRIDE 2022, my fellow gifted thrifters and thrifty gifters!  And happy first birthday to me as a Finding Your Good guest blogger! Nu, let’s do what it says on our tin today, shall we?  Peruse some Pride pretties at pretty prices.  Mostly rainbow items, but some surprises as well. 

One of the reasons my May has been merry was that I FINALLY visited the new Goodwill in North Rockville for the first time!  And, spoiler alert, I loved it.  And I’m looking forward to returning as soon as I can.   

An abundant April, my fellow thrifters!  Second month of Spring, Nisan of 5782 (Jewish month and year), Arab American Month. Month of Ramadan, Holy Week, Pesach (Passover), Easter, Peaster / Eastover, Earth Day, Bright / Pascha / Renewal Week, Yom HaShoah (the primary Holocaust remembrance day), and Arbor Day.

I hope you’ve been having a marvelous March, at least in some ways, my fellow thrifters!  It’s finally the first month of Spring, as well as Women’s and Irish American Month!  The month of Women’s Day, Pi(e) Day (I thrifted some mini pies from our supermarket’s clearance shelves), the Ides Of March, Fat/Shrove/Pancake Tuesday (Mardi Gras) and Ash Wednesday and Lent, Purim (I thrifted my costume), Saint Patrick’s Day (I thrifted some green bagels), the Spring Equinox, Maryland Day, and Transgender Day Of Visibility (TDOV)!
