Visiting in the mountains with my family is always fun and this weekend was no exception. We ate, we walked (one day), we shopped, we sat on the porch and enjoyed the cool weather, and we ate some more. We do a LOT of eating when we get together. You should see all the vegetables we brought home!
I’ll be sharing all of that later next week, but in the meantime, we’ll have another fun Monday of sharing yardsale finds. I didn’t go yardsaling this weekend, since we were out of town, but I have something to share that I’ve saved up.
A big congrats to Jenny, who is the winner of the Ritz Crackerful $100 giftcard giveaway. And thanks to ALL of you for participating in the giveaway. It was a fun and successful event and I appreciate all of you stopping by for that. Hopefully, there will be more of these in the future.
Go here for a chance to win a personalized engraved tile from my friend, Kaye at Engraved Euniques!
And for the chance to win a custom border rug, go over to Our Creative Life. I was blessed to win the monogram custom rug in my foyer from her last year and love it!
Beauty products at yardsales?
Did you know you can find cologne and perfume at yardsales, along with brand new lipstick, like Clinique and Estee Lauder? Yep, it’s true. I found all 3 of these just this spring at the sales. I never have to go and buy new cologne for myself now. The one on the left is Ralph Lauren Romance, for $4. Estee Lauder Pleasures Intense was $5 and Ralph Lauren Safari was $3. So, I’ll be smelling pretty for a long time to come. 🙂
I also find many brand new tubes of Clinique or Estee Lauder lipstick in just-right colors for me for usually 50 cents to $2. Now, that’s a bargain, if you price those at the department stores. It’s a no brainer for me. These are lipsticks that come in the freebie packs and someone decides they don’t like the color and to the yardsale it goes, brand new never used.
And right home with me.
How about YOU? Did you get out and about this weekend and find any treasures. You know the drill!

Hi Rhoda,
You’re so lucky to find all those nice perfumes. I haven’t really come across them in my hunting.
I bought that Safari flask at a department store years ago. It’s works double duty…keep it in your purse for a quick freshening up during the day..or as protection whilst dumpster diving for hidden treasures in a dark alley!

What great bargains and the prices are wonderful. Good for you. Hugs, Marty
Romance is such a lovely scent…I wear DVF’ Tatiana…for years and years. Couldn’t find it for the longest so went to Laura Ashley #1…couldn’t find it after a few years and for the last two years, I have found Tatiana at Big Lots of all places. Same scent that I used to buy at Neiman’s!. Much less expensive and I got several bottles last Dec 😀
Request. Is it possible to have the links change color once you click on them? Some days I have a hard time remembering which number was last.
Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend. Love the perfume bottles. I love all glass bottles. Wow, these ladies get on your site fast. I’m impressed! Thanks for hosting. I like seeing what amazing shoppers are out there and the wonderful treasures they find.
Hey Rhoda, I haven’t been commenting but I always read your blog! Love the longest yard sale post! My daughter puts perfume in her yard sale that she gets as gifts but doen’t like the scent!
Keep up the good work!
hi rhoda
I never thought of looking for these at garage sales, I will now though, I wear perfume a lot so it would save me a a heap and mean I could try different ones for next to nothing! which is the best thing of all I suppose
happy thrifting ~ I’ve just gone round your blog partay and visited …

This is my first Thrifty Treasures and I am thrilled to show off my bargains!
Never would have thought to purchase perfume at a yardsale. I think I have my brain trained to scan for lamps and furniture and thats it.
Not much luck for me this weekend, no lovely thrifty buys.
I’m such a perfume fan & can’t believe that you picked these up so cheaply, how wonderful.
love

Can’t wait to hear about your time with the fam!! And cool weather? We actually are having some right now–great for running!!
If you get a minute, I have a decorating issue with my cute tole tray from a yard sale a while back. Not sure what it needs to be paired with!! Help!!
Love ya,
Susan
Hi Rho!
Thanks for hosting us!
love, kelee
Oh I LOVE Estee Lauder Pleasures! Mmmm, I haven’t had that in years. I might need to scour some yard sales for it.
I didn’t get to BUY anything at a yardsale this weekend I was too busy SELLING!!! I had my own and made a little cash to hopefully SPEND next weekend!
Rhoda,
I love special little bottles, and the ones you found are so pretty! It was freezing here this weekend. I had to put a jacket on Saturday afternoon. However, it sure is nice to have a break from the hot and humid weather.
P.S. Thank you for hosting Thrifty Treasures, it is a fun event!

Hi Rhoda, wow, you really know how to shop some good yard sales! I found an almost full bottle of chanel #5 for a dollar, in the square black spray bottle. It was a man selling out a storage unit and I don’t think he knew a lot about perfume. :O) Mary @Boogieboard Cottage
thanks for hosting this fun party every week. glad i could join in.
hope you have a great week –
blessings & peace –
randee p.s. where did the summer go?
Ya me this Ozarks farm chick doesn’t have to travel 60miles to the Estee’ counter in the big city to purchase Cinnabar? What a concept….yard-sales…who knew. Maybe you can teach an old chick new tricks. Ya’ll have a wonderfully blessed day!!!
Rhoda~ I have found some amazing beauty products at yard sales! Lots of new Mary Kay stuff, perfume I’ve sold on Ebay, brand new bath & body works stuff, etc. Thanks for the link to my laundry room as well~I was wondering where all my traffic was coming from while I was on vacation, and of course it was from here~you’re a rockstar!! 🙂 Have fun in the mountains with your fam!
Wonderful Deals! I found a Ralph Lauren item too—but it’s a bit larger than a perfume bottle. ;~)
Thank you for always hosting such a great party! It’s so fun to see what terrific buys others find.
