Hi,friends! I hope you’ll all make yourself comfortable at my new place. Take off your shoes and enjoy. There will be some tweaking to do with this new blog (fixing some broken links, etc.), but I’ll be working on those as I find them. If you see something that is off, feel free to email me about it, thanks! A BIG thanks to my blog designer, Darcy, at Graphically Designing for making the switch for me and holding my hand. And not making me feel like an idiot at trying to learn a new program.
I have over 3,800 subscribers to my Blogger blog, so please, please ALL of you take the time to re-subscribe to my new one. That would be wonderful! I love knowing that all of you are still out there with me.
So, on to the Thrifty Party this week. I got to a few sales, but really didn’t buy much at all. And that’s OK, there’s always next week, right?!
There are some fabulous views here in Birmingham and this was the sight from the back deck of a moving sale in Brook Highland. Isn’t that WOW?! It was so packed, I went through and looked as well as I could and grabbed only one thing.
This softly draping knit dress by Nina Leonard was $1! Steal! I never found a size on it, but figured since it is a wrap-style dress it could work for me and it does just fine. The sleeves were a little long (that hardly ever happens), so I’ll just push them up. This isn’t a complete wrap dress, in that it’s not open all the way down, but only the middle section wraps and I like it better that way. I love that I can tighten it or loosen as needed. You know, just in case I get fat or anything. 🙂
And with my $2 shoes from last week’s sale, a pretty thrifty outfit, all for $3. The material is really comfortable too and you know I loved the print. Giraffe is it? Black and white is such a staple in my closet. I looked online and found a link to QVC and they were selling the short sleeved version for $46, here. But, it’s no longer available. I did get a deal! 
Moving on, in my own neighborhood at a sale, I found this pretty lime green plastic pitcher for 50 cents. Always nice to have in the summer and it will coordinate with my other outdoor dish finds.
This pretty tiny little oil painting was 25 cents. I just love these little vintage paintings and at that price, wasn’t about to leave it. It will look cute on an easel on a bookshelf.
We’ve added 2 hummingbird feeders in the backyard this year and have had a ball watching those cute little creatures, so when I spotted this iron hummingbird, I had to get it. At $3, it was my splurge of the day.
I stopped by one of the big thrift stores in Alabaster since I was over that way for an in-home consultation last week and found one thing to bring home. This green print skirt from Old Navy was more than I usually spend, but I love the style of these skirts, so for $5, wasn’t too bad. It has some pretty ribbon trim too, a great summer skirt. 
This is not a yardsale piece, but you have to see what I won in a giveaway. Lara Harris, a wonderful artist, had a giveaway and I was lucky enough to win it. I sent her a pic of the photo of my iron urn (from a yardsale of course) on my header, so it seems only fitting to have this captured on canvas. I love it, Lara! I’ll have to find the right spot for this 5×7″ beauty. Check out Lara’s blog for all her beautiful paintings. You can get one done too!
So, get ready to share your treasures too. Remember our guidelines for Mr. Linky parties:
- Enter your permalink to your thrifty post and NOT just your blog url. If you aren’t sure how to do that, please refer back to last week’s party. All links that do not go to your party post will be deleted.
- Please add a link back to THIS post, so that all your readers can find the party and join in or at least read about all the fun that everyone else had, or I’ll have to delete those too.

That wrap dress is gorgeous! I can’t believe you got it for a song. 🙂 The artist also did a fabulous job on your giveaway win. Can’t wait to see what you do with it. 🙂
I love Sundays!!! Rhoda you found some cool stuff.
I love your new blog. It looks really cool and I hope all your followers and subscribers get themselves all over here.
I apologize for entering twice. The first time it looked like it wasn’t there. I am sometimes a cyber idiot.
I love that painting with the acorns. So adorable!! thanks for another fun blog party!!
Hi Rhoda,
Wow, what a pretty dress and skirt! Good deals! Congrats on the new website! Thanks for hosting this for us. It’s so much fun!
Debbie
Some of my favorite clothes and shoes were $1 and $2 from yard sales! Maybe that is why my closet is so full! hee hee.
Happy Sunday, Rhoda!
That outfit looks like a million dollars and surely not like three! Congratulations on your new home, it looks great!!!
Love the new site! That dress you found is too darn cute – I would love to have one like that. I also love the pitcher … I thought it was glass before I read the description – the color is great! Hope you have a great week!!
What a great outfit for 3 dollars!! The skirt is cute, too. I’ve got to start yard saleing so I can get some real super duper deals like you gals get! :0) Love the green pitcher. Right now some margaritas or sangria mixed up in it would be real good!
Rhoda, you ALWAYS find such nice things – even on a bad day! I promise, I think your car has bargain radar! Love the black & white dress – wow! Linda
That wrap dress is adorable and I absolutely LOVE the iron hummingbird. Those are my favorite little birds and I definitely would have HAD to have that!
Check you out! Looking great in that wrap dress (my fave dress style and best for curvy/hour glass-like girlies like me). Also loving that precious oil painting. I can’t seem to come across nice ones. Yours has softly faded earthy blues and greens, love it 🙂
Oh my goodness, you always find the best clothes. One dollar for a gorgeous dress…lucky you. Best wishes with your new blog home. I am happily re-subscribed.
Love the wrap dress! What a find.
I’m off to subscribe to your new site. Best wishes.
You always find the cutest clothes, Rhoda! And I love seeing your little painted toes… tee hee The miniature picture WILL adorable on an easel in a bookcase. I, too, thought it was glass! You get to keep your tiara….. *grin*
🙂 Sue
Hi Rhoda, I’ll change your link later on today. Love the picture from Lara! It’s always nice to have some original art work! It’s doubly nice that this one is so personal! I didn’t really buy anything this week. But as you say there’s always next week!
Manuela
Love your new website! And great finds! I am envious you are able to find such great clothes – I can rarely find clothes that fit.
I love the little landscape painting. It’s hard for me to pass one up too.
You look like a model!!! I love those shoes and the wrap dress looks smashing on you!
I hope the move has been painless…ha! ha!, you say!
