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.

Enjoy your time at the beach. We’ll miss you, but know you need the break!!!
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.
Happy Labor Day, Rhoda! We are *so* going to Chick-Fil-A today~I blogged about it too! 🙂 Have a wonderful beach vacation~
The little ceramic box is just “my colors” too! Love that~
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. 🙂
You found some great things! I want to find a cute footstool like that one!
Enjoy the beach! What a perfect way to relax!
Just when you’re thinking of putting aside you thrifty finds party…that’s when the yardsales start out here! LOL! Thanks for hosting this party! So much fun!
Enjoy the BEACH! Rest and relax! Can’t wait for your return. I bet you are starting to think about decorating your house for fall. I started this past week. Nancy from OHIO
Hey Rhoda, I put my name on the list twice. The first one I linked to the wrong post ;)….Sorry. The white top is so pretty and what a cute little box!
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.
LOVE your blog, I love seeing whateveryone else has found in their thrifting adventures! I received a ZC blog award last week and since you are one of my favorite blogs, I passed it onto you! http://travisandjennykerr.blogspot.com/2009/09/we-received-our-first-award.html
Lovely ceramic box…a jewel at thrice the price! Love the cotton top, too.
