Goodwill Has MerMay-zing Mermaids and More

Merry MerMay 2024, my fellow gifted thrifters and thrifty gifters!

Yes, it’s the merry, merry month of May – third and last month of Spring, Nisan and Iyyar of 5784, Jewish and Asian & Pacific Islander and Mental Health Month, MerMay. Month of May Day, Workers Day, Beltane, May The Fourth (Be With You, And Also With You), Yom HaShoah, Cinco de Mayo, No Diet Day, Mothers Day, and Memorial Day.

Lots of thrifty themes to choose from. For this post, I’ve chosen MerMay, where we celebrate mermaids, mermen, and merenbies. I love and identify with merfolk, and have a persona called Mercroft. I have a cool collection of thrifted mermaids, which I need to blog about at some point. Today, let’s look at some of the recent mermazing items on Goodwill of Greater Washington’s ShopGoodwill.com site.

We’ll start with jewelry because I love it so much: a ring with a mermaid, a pendant that could be mermaid, whale, or dolphin tails, and some jewels merpeople would wear—two more rings, three starfish necklaces, and two bracelets. Mercroft wanted to bid on all of these, but we have a budget.

I like to think this pirate and mermaid are romantic partners. But any other happy relationship would please me too. And then again, some sad relationships make for good puppetry.
