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!

    Oh I have some nice things I want to post but I havent done the post yet, I’ll be back tomorrow to do the link tho. Ive been meaning to do a post on these great vintage dish towels… I hadnt intended on keeping them but you know the new ones dont absorb…so what it the purpose?? why do the new towels not absorb????

    I got some old linen ones that are fabulous, and some old cotton, not all are in perfect shape but you know…so what???

    Im so tired of throwing out everything that isnt ‘perfect…why do people do that anyway???

    Im enjoying this blog so much, and all the people who visit

    It was a sad weekend for garage sales in my neighborhood. I live in MD, but I’m from Ohio where you can find garage sales every day of the week! In MD they are only on Saturday and are finished by 11 a.m.!

    Enjoy your trip to the beach!

    Nice finds as usual.
    I hope you have a very nice beach trip and find lots of good “thrifting” places to shop.
    You haven’t been to BCH in forever. I do hope you will come back soon.

    Very cute box!! I think I would use it by the sink to hold rings and things while I was doing dishes! You always find cute things! Cant wait to see the bench after you paint it! Also wanted to say I will miss the party next week but you have fun at the beach! Wish I was going!

    Thanks for letting me join to party today. We will all have to have a special post when you return. Have a wonderful time at the beach. It should be much quieter there now.

    By the way, I love that little green and cream dish.

    Rhoda, It’s nice to find a bargain, but even better when you really need something. I like your little stool and your cute top, Have a good trip, and while walking on the beach, make sure to look for some beach glass!

    I love that little step stool and white blouse. Have a great weekend at the beach. I think this is the perfect time of year to go, it’s so much quieter now. Thanks for hosting every week.

    Love that little bench, and once again when I saw your little top for mere pennies, it reminds me I really should take time to look through clothes. Even though garage sales will wind down around Oct., there are still thrift store bargains for us all to show! Just a thought…

    Thank you for the opportunity to share (aka bragging)all my wonderful finds. It’s a great feeling to find that perfect thing you didn’t even know you needed! Can’t wait for your wall paper beadboad party this month! Happy Monday!

    Rhoda, seeing your end-of-the-summer garage sale finds. Love the little bench.
    I incorrectly linked to the party tonight (#50 – Mamie Jane’s). I figured out what I did wrong and relinked at #59. Hope that doesn’t cause a problem.
    Thanks and have a wonderful time at the beach.

    Again, so jealous of your cute finds. I’m determined that I will hit a yardsale or too next weekend. I’ve missed out this summer with being too busy but now that projects are done and it’s a short break before putting Mr. DIY back to work on the next one, I must go! Hope to participate next time! 😉

    I forgot to say: adore that little step. I see them on so many Euro house blogs. Usually used in the window sill. I would love to have one, but I am still on the lookout. Congrats on finding yours.
