I really do wear those clothes I find thrifting. Nothing thrills me more than finding something that fits and looks good for a couple of dollars. Take this black/cream dress for instance. I paid $2 for it at the Bridgemill sale a few weeks ago. I pulled it on over my clothes to see how [...]

Someone asked me recently to share my tips on how I yardsale.  How I do what I do and find all those great bargains out there?   Well, I thought I had shared a whole post on this, but apparently I have not done that in the past, or my search didn’t bring it up for [...]

Hope you all are having a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.  Don’t you love long weekends? Now that I’m working at home, long weekends don’t mean quite as much as they used to, since I don’t have paid holidays anymore.  But, I love the flexible schedule of working for myself. I didn’t travel anywhere this weekend, [...]

Here are some fun highlights from last week’s party!  So glad many of you are signing up and showing off your treasures every week.  Like I said before, I sure don’t need to be out yardsaling right now (unless I’m shopping FOR someone), so I’m trying to stay away from the tempting signs!

On a very sad note, I am so sorry for the devastating tornadoes that ripped through the Southeast in the last few days.  I was watching the aerial footage over Tuscaloosa from a news helicopter and it was just unreal, the damage was heart-breaking.  My heart aches for Alabama and the other Southern states for [...]

My friend, Vicki, loves to thrift shop too.  She hits thriftstores more than I do, since I tend to love the yardsales.  So, with that in mind, she took me to a couple of her favorite spots in Port St. Joe, a local humane society thriftstore and good ole’ Goodwill.This was a fun little place [...]

Jumping out of bed early in the a.m., anticipation of what treasures might be out there.  That giddy feeling ushers in the beginning of yardsale season that you die-hard fans like me can relate to. My sister and our friend, Susan, got up bright and early on Saturday a.m. to hit the Bridgemill neighborhood sale [...]

Fall is actually a good time for yardsaling around here.  People are trying to get rid of things before the Holidays and it’s cooling off.  Plenty of neighborhoods gear up for their sales this month too and one of my favorites is Eagle Point.   I always try to hit that one and it was this [...]

Those 2 don’t exactly go together, but that was my Saturday. It was such a hot and humid day on Saturday and totally rivaled any hot weather we’ve had in July OR August combined.  Whewwww, I’m tired after all of that, but what a fun yardsale we had!  A total HOOT!  The earlybirds arrived around [...]
