Labor Day Weekend Sales

Happy Labor Day y’all! Hope you’re up to something fun. We aren’t doing anything exciting this weekend, but we have a beach trip coming up in a week, so that’s exciting.

Since it’s a holiday weekend, yardsales were few, but I did hit about 4 out there and managed to snag a few things.  This little wooden step stool was $2. I’ll probably paint it with some of my extra paint and we actually needed a little stool, so this is a practical find.

I ran across a lady selling some houseplant cuttings, these were $2 each and I have plans to put them in some of my white ironstone containers.

Cute white sleeveless cotton top was $1.

And I loved this little ceramic box, I think it was handmade by someone judging from the bottom which has a faint signature.  Just my colors too and only $1.

So, that’s it for me.

Here’s an announcement that you’ll all need to know.  I’m going to skip Thrifty Mondays next Monday, the 14th, because we are going to the beach! Yippee!  So, I’m taking a break for a week and then will resume when I return at least for a few more weeks, maybe into October.  We’ll see how things go between now and then.

And don’t forget that tomorrow (Labor Day) at Chick-Fil-A, they are giving away free sandwiches to everyone who comes in dressed in your favorite sports team shirts with logos.  We’re going in our Alabama crimson red! 🙂

How about YOU?  Did you get out and about this weekend and find any treasures.  You know how it works.

Remember our guidelines for Mr. Linky parties:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. If you come back & your link is deleted, it’s because your link was incorrect (and I couldn’t identify it) OR you didn’t link back to this party. Please try again!

    Since it was a holiday weekend the sales were awful. I didn’t buy anything but a coke. I do have a favor for all you wonderful garage salers:
    Please check this post out and pass it on. Thanks

    I like the little houseplant cuttings–our place could do with a few more plants.

    Hi, Rhoda! I love your little ceramic box. 🙂 I didn’t get to go to any sales this weekend. My sister got married yesterday, so we had a busy time with family. 🙂 I’ll look forward to joining the party when you’re back from your fun trip.

    My girls and I will be sporting Redskins stuff tonight at CFA. 🙂 The husband is working, and the girls each have a cheerleading outfit, so we’ll be experiencing some fine dining. 🙂

    My mama would go crazy over that little bench — her collection of choice! Have fun at the beach…although I’ve never been, I hear there are lots of junkin’ stops along Highway 59.
