Last 4th of July, I hit the Homewood Catholic Rummage sale and found some great things, so this year I hit it again on Saturday a.m. And since I have been on hiatus for 2 weeks from yardsaling, my thrifting mojo was on once more and I found some great stuff.
First thing on the way to the rummage sale, I stopped in at The Narrows, which has always been a good stop for me, I’ve found a lot of good things in this small neighborhood. The lady had some awesome clothes at only $1 each, so I went through the racks to see what I could find. Brand names all over the place. I’m SO spoiled on shopping retail, since I find so many great things shopping like this. I could never go back to shopping the regular ole’ way now. I love the deals too much!
Studio Max adorable tank top, in turquoise and brown. I’ve got some cropped brown linen pants that will be perfect for this. Add my flip-flops and it’s a cute summer outfit.
J. Jill coral tank top with linen jacket.
The Limited hand knit creamy white cotton sleeveless sweater.
Ann Taylor Loft crisp white cotton sleeveless blouse, with tucks and a flounce on the bottom.
White House Black Market cream knit tank top. ALL of these were $1.00 each, 5 measly dollars for 5 new tops. Now how can you beat those prices?? You can’t, not even with a stick!! 🙂
Now, for the rummage sale stuff…
I have been wanting another vacuum cleaner that is lightweight that I can keep upstairs and pull out when needed. This Eureka is SO light compared to my heavier one and is also bagless. Works great too, I tried it out before I bought it for $10. YAY, I’m excited to find this and Ronald McDonald would be so proud for me! 🙂
Cute old suitcase was $1.
And it says Amelia Earhart on the tag, how cute is that? I’ll stack this up with another one I have.
Little wooden shelf was $1. I’ll probably paint it white and use it with a grouping of plates and platters I have planned.
Moss basket was $1, with a plastic liner inside, it will be perfect for some live plant.
Pretty old creamy white planter pottery was $2, to add to my white collection.
3 books for $1.00 each. You can see I found classics, Gone with the Wind and Dr. Zhivago (which I’ve never read). The black one is called My Life in Court, but I got it for the colors. 🙂
And last but not least, this oh so cute old bench was $10. Part of the veneer is missing, but I can take the rest off and sand it down, since I’ll be repainting it anyway. You can see why I fell in love with it, right?
Yep, it’s her purdy old legs that got me. I’ll probably paint this creamy white and add it to the end of the bed in my upstairs guestroom. Of course, it will get new fabric too. So, there’s another project for me.
That’s my haul for the week!
Oh, and before I forget, the winner of the Custom Roman shade is Erin, from No Money Will Decorate. Congrats, Erin, hope you enjoy your prize.

Let’s have some fun this week with the Thrifty Treasure’s party!
Rhoda,
Perfect scores all the way!!! I would have purchased every one of those cuties myself. What a great day for “saling!”
Happy independence day!
🙂 Laura
Fantastic finds, especially the clothing. I do love the bench. What a great idea to keep a second vaccum upstairs. I hate carrying mine up. I will have to be on the lookout for one now. Thanks for sharing your finds and hosting such a fun party!
Hi Rhonda,
I love all your cute clothes. You got some real bargains. Love everything.
hugs
Sissie
Great finds Rhoda. I do love that bench especially the legs!
I might have something next week. Will have to see after I visit a new flea market/shop here at the lake.
I was going to get the T1i Rebel, until Jeanne mentioned her husband bought the T2i. He left a cute note for me in the post with the log house pictures. It is a tad different from my old Rebel, but I’m having fun figuring it all out. Haven’t used auto at all yet. It only took about 3 or 4 months on the old Rebel before I turned the auto off. I think it’s more fun doing all the little dials and gadgets.:-) I’ve certainly had fun experimenting the past week, at the lake.
Happy 4th!
great stuff! I love the suitcase and the bench! Hope you’re enjoying your weekend!

Hi Rhoda! Love your finds! My favorites are the moss basket and that wonderful old suitcase! I hope you are having a great 4th!….hugs…Debbie
Rhoda,
I need to come to B’ham one Saturday! You find the best stuff.
The little bench is going to be so cute at the end of the bed after it’s makeover.
And $1.00 each of those tops…crazy!!!
Rhonda
Wow, you really did find a ton of great things. I love them all. You did so good. Hugs, Marty
love that suitcase for a dollar! great find!
Hi Rhoda, I can totally see why you bought the stool, love the legs and it will look wonderful in white. The suitcase is really special!! Kathysue
Lots of fun finds! I have been thrifting my wardrobe for so long that I am totally shocked at what the stores are charging for full price retail!
I drooled over your 5 tops!!! That Ann Taylor number is just awesome! Great finds….oh, the THRILL of the HUNT!
Rhoda, what great finds. Oh my, I love the bench, the suit case, and the clothes are great. I can’t wait to see the bench after you put your special touches to it.
I am sitting here watching some of the 4th specials on T.V. and listening to fire works out side. It is so wonderful to live in this country of freedom. We had a great 4th special by our choir at church today. I hope you and your readers had a wonderful day today.
great finds! I have the same little vacuum, it is nice to have an extra little one to pull out for a small mess
The bench looks like a piano bench, great finds!
i love the bench – it would go great with the vanity i’ve been dreaming of…
Rhoda, you found some very cute tops and love that bench you bought.
Hi Rhonda!
Thanks so much for hosting. Love the party. You got some great deals, I know what you mean about not being able to shop retail anymore. The brand new looking stuff you can get second hand can’t be beat. The suitcase is my favorite!
🙂 Michelle
WOW you really did good! I can’t beleive you got all those name brand tops for $5 bucks. Love the piano stool. Can’t wait to see the re-make. Happy 4th of July, Vicky
