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.

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!
