Designer!

Jimmy! Yes, Jimmy Choo. Need I say more? Well, heck, yes, but I'm not going to spill the beans all at once. You'll have to check back to see more of the great designer clothing and shoes that we'll have in-store--at the Glitter Sale!

Jimmy Choo & Shoes Galore

I have a thing for beautiful shoes (what woman doesn’t?), and fortunately, the Glitter Sale is a great place to outfit your shoe wardrobe on the cheap. You’ll find hundreds of pairs of shoes. Hot designers. Name brands. Vintage styles. Check out this second pair of Jimmy Choos we just came across.


Look at these strappy, psychedelic wedges from Dolce and Gabbana.


I'm digging these blue velvet wedge peeptoes,



and these pink suede kitten heels with fabulous gem-encrusted buckles.

These black heels from Nina, with just a bit of bling, are simple and classy. Whatever shoe style you're looking for, there's a good chance you'll find it at the Glitter Sale.

Welcome to the Glitter Sale Nov. 15 & 16, 2008

Welcome to the first-ever, behind-the-scenes look at Seattle Goodwill’s Glitter Sale. I’m Betsy McFeely, Public Relations Director for Seattle Goodwill, and I’ll be your online tour guide to this 25th Anniversary Sale.

Mark your calendar now! The Glitter Sale will take place on Saturday and Sunday, November 15 & 16, 2008 from 9 am to 6 pm, at our Seattle Store, 1400 South Lane St. Get directions.

If you’ve never been to Seattle Goodwill’s Glitter Sale - our blowout sale of glamorous eveningwear, vintage styles, accessories, jewelry and shoes, you will be amazed at the selection and thrilled by the prices. Last year more than 300 shoppers waited in line for our doors to open, raising some $75,000 - all of which benefits Goodwill's free job training and education programs in our community.

This Glitter Sale marks a milestone - the 25th year of this fabulous event! And to celebrate our 25th Anniversary, this blog will offer a sneak peak of what’s in-store.

Take a look at this incredible evening gown. At the Glitter Sale you'll find hundreds of long gowns and cocktail dresses in every color imaginable.


I am wowed by this festive vintage coat. We have an entire room of vintage pieces beginning in the 1920s and going right up to the '90s.


As always, we will have cases and cases of jewelry. I'm swooning over these Kenneth Jay Lane chandelier earrings.



And look at this pair of Jimmy Choos! We have a great selection of vintage, designer and name brand shoes, clothing and jewelry, and I look forward to sharing many of those items with you in the coming weeks.
