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!

    Hello Rhoda and thank you once again for hosting this event! I love the ceramic box–just my colors, too. I didn’t find too much this weekend, either–but I did find something to show everyone.
    Have a great week!

    Hi Rhoda,
    Great finds … as always! Can’t wait to see the little stool after you paint it. The plants look really healthy, and they’ll look beautiful in your ironstone pots!

    Thanks for hosting. Hope you have tons of fun at the BEACH!!!

    Hi Rhoda,

    Nope found a couple of small things but I’ll save them for when you get back. That was smart of that lady to sell house plant cuttings! I would have bought some too!

    Hi Rhoda…you always find the best goodies! I love the darling stool…those are always so handy to have around. What a nice summer top…and what a deal at only $1! Those are some healthy plants…and the little dish container is too cute. It will be fun to see where these all end up in your home. Happy Thrifty Treasures!

    P.S. Have a wonderful vacation!
