It was a brisk & beautiful Fall morning on Saturday & I took off around 7:15 a.m. to hit two neighborhood sales near me. Lots of folks were out browsing, just as I was, looking for those bargains. Here’s a few things that I saw along the way, but didn’t buy. A pile of pillows just waiting to go to a new home. I don’t need pillows, so I passed them by, but I thought they were pretty.
This table had some neat decorative items that caught my eye, but I didn’t need any of this either. Candleholder was pretty & if you like Asian, those little figurines were cute.
This slightly beat up table & chairs had a price tag of $50. Not bad at all if you have nothing to eat on. I tell my friends all the time what great bargains there are out there, but I don’t usually get anyone who wants to get up early & brave the sales with me. They are missing out on some neat things. I’m going to be on the lookout for an old table to use as my hubby’s desk. We have an extra bedroom that is his office & he said he’d like to have a large table in there, instead of a regular desk, so that’s one of the things I’ll be looking for a good deal on. I’ll find it, you can bet on that!
This rocker was already sold. I think it said $5.00 on the pricetag, but that’s really hard to believe. 
Blue/white pices & side tables. I think these tables were $10 each.
This chair & ottoman was $100. Not too bad shape either.
These mirrors were $2.00 each. They are plastic frames, but could probably be painted to look better.
An old vintage lamp. I didn’t get the price on this, but it was a pretty shape.
More old lamps & older things from a nice little lady.
And this pretty wrought iron glass-top table & chairs was $75 from the same lady. That was a steal for this. It was really very pretty detail & would be perfect on a patio. I just don’t need it right now.
You are going to pass out when I tell you that this old trunk was $20. Again, no room for more things like this. It was pretty old, as I opened it & looked inside.
Lots of hardback books.
OK, so what did I buy this week, you ask? My hubby had told me if I ran into an espresso maker, he’d like to have one, so today was the day. This Krup’s machine was $5. He loves coffee, so this will add some extra caffiene jolts to his day.
These curly sticks were 50 cents. They were originally from Pier One. I’ll find someplace for them.
This old pitcher was 50 cents also. This little lady said her sister had this vase for about 50 years, so it may have a story. It’s got felt on the bottom, so I can’t tell exactly how old it is. It will go with my ironstone collection.
And this sweet little planter was free. I stopped by one little sale & this was marked at 25 cents. Since I didn’t have any change, she gave it to me. Another cute piece for my white collection.
All these natural items were $1.00. I have some grand plans for Christmas decorating this year, using lots more natural elements in my decor. I will be sure & share all my fun with you as I’m planning this. I see some metallic spray paint in my future.
These 2 candleholders were $4.00 for the pair. They are sort of a pewter look to them & I loved the beaded design. I may do some embellishing on these too for Christmas. The candles smell yummy too.
I can’t ever pass up these armillaries. I just love the shape of them. This little guy was $2.
And you know how much I love black/white things. Another cute top for $1.00.
That was my fun Saturday outing. Thank y’all so much for playing on my giveaway. That was so much fun & I enjoyed reading each and every comment from all of you. Guess I’ve kept your interest this long, so here’s to 100 more!
Mimi G! I’m still waiting to hear from you, so please email me ASAP on your prize choices out of the shop.
This is the official notice that I am doing a HUGE closeout in the shop & everything is 1/2 price starting today, so ya’ll get over there & shop. As soon as I hear from MimiG, I’ll get her things put away, so she needs to choose 2 things first. I need to move all this inventory out in hopes that I can do the shop again in the Spring. Thanks for supporting me this summer! It was a lot of fun doing the shop too. I’ve already gotten a few emails from some of you wanting to buy, so I will give Mimi until the end of today to get back to me. These items will be on a first come, first serve basis, so get to shopping! The ladies who have already emailed me will be first in line.
Don't Miss a Post, join my list!
Thanks for sharing, this helps me weed out the rubbish finds from the great finds. You have a good eye for good things.
Going to visit your shop now.
Good grief! That rocker and trunk! Oh, I would have loved to have had those!
And there I was wondering just what you HAD bought after I saw what you had turned down…now that wrought iron table and chairs would have come home with me. I used to take my elderly neighbor, Mrs. Chandler Eddins, to all the yard sales on Saturday mornings I didn’t have to work. She loved them. She passed away 2 years ago this month and I still miss her. You picked up some very pretty things, lucky girl!
Fall yard saling is the best. Nice crisp mornings and lots of treasures to hunt down!
Great finds ~ I think your $5.00 espresso maker was the best deal of the weekend :-}
Rhoda-I almost fell of my chair when I saw that ironstone pitcher!! Oh my, what a great find. I’m just starting a little ironstone collection-I mostly look for plates or platters but that pitcher is gorgeous.
WOW, Rhoda, what a great sale!! How great it would be to spend time in Birmingham going to yard sales!
Pat
Wow, what lovely things, and great prices! I love the little pitcher you bought, and the armillary sphere, too!
Glad you had such a good time!
Mary
I would definitely go yard-saling with you! Looks like the south has great finds like I used to find in the east. Here in the midwest…not so good. But I keep trying.
i love yard sales!!! those pillows are awesome!!! i need to go yard-sale-ing one saturday to find some things to decorate my room with..
and your coffee purchase–definitely would have been at the top of my list as well. my dad got my mom a cappuccino machine for christmas last year…it’s GREAT!!!
great finds!!! love the mirrors and the candle holders!!
Rhoda, I just love the pics on your banner. Are these pics of your home? My favorite is the one that’s top center with all the cute things (esp. bunnies)on a table. Every time I come to your blog I have to take a minute to look at that!
Jacki
thanks for the look at te goodies you found…it mst have been hard to pass some of the by…blessings, rebecca
Such nice things for good prices. So sorry I missed your giveaway while I was gone, it looked really nice.
I so enjoy going yardsaling with you — I pass up quite a bit too — no room, no time. Lots of fun to look, though. Thanks.
Jenny
What nice finds your photos reveal. Sure wish I could have gone along.
Hope you keep finding nice stuff!
Ooooh, I love yard sale finds! Great post! 🙂
Joy
WOW! your yardsales are lots better than ours are here! But, I’ve got a houseful of things from yardsales that we brought when we moved from the north to the south. Prices there are higher than I like, but GOOD stuff. Prices here better though.
Anway…thanks for letting us all ride along with you to the sales you go to! Believe me, I’d be sitting right there in that car with you if I could!
GREAT blogging…fun photos..and wonderful website! I’ll be visiting often.
