It was raining here in Birmingham for most of the day on Saturday, but that didn’t stop Debbie and I from venturing out and checking out a few sales. Since it was a holiday, there weren’t any big neighborhood sales, but we managed to find enough and brought home a few treasures.
This beautiful and large pottery pitcher was $2 and still has the original sticker on the bottom, from Banana Republic (had no idea they carried housewares, did you?), Made in Italy and the original price was $24.
This cute little retro Westclox clock was 10 cents! Adorable. Winds up so I imagine it still works fine too.
I love this metal holder with the tiny glass insert, just big enough for a leaf frond or flower, it was $1. 
This old copper hanging pot was $5 and the girl said she got it at an antiques store years ago. I’m getting ready to spruce up our deck, so a real plant will go in here. I’ll tell you all about my plans this week and I’m really excited about it. That umbrella find last week really got me inspired to make our deck beautiful. 
This lovely fabric will come into play on the deck too when I get it all together. Not a yardsale find, but a thrifty find nonetheless, I found this fabric at of all places, Old Time Pottery. I had no idea they sell fabric. This was a 5 yard remnant for $20 and I’m planning to make some porch pillows with it and there will be plenty left to do something else with. Maybe something in my kitchen later on. I just fell in love with this fabric and see a lot of possibilities for it.
For the first time ever, Random .org chose the very last comment for The Vintage Pearl giveaway winner and she is Mary Jo, who said this:
If I won, I’d love to use the gift certificate on a wide cuff for my husband. He’s getting ready to take several students from his student ministry (he’s a youth pastor) on a mission trip to Ukraine. I’d love to have it stamped with Ecc. 4:12 – which is engraved inside our wedding rings – to serve as a little reminder on his trip.
Congrats, Mary Jo!

Great finds! You are really the shopper queen. I need to become an apprentice and find those deals. Love the pot!!
What great finds! I love that fabric. Happy Memorial Day!
Rhoda, I’m late with my link but wanted to join up anyway. Love that white pitcher and the old pot! You found some neat items this week. That fabric looks so 40-ish vintage- is it? Hope you’re enjoying the warm weather this holiday weekend!

Hi Rhoda! Gorgeous finds –LOVE the white pitcher — but I am a total pushover for fabrics. I love the yardage you found — what a great print, with a retro-feel to it, and terrific colors … AND a fantastic price! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

I love the vase! Oh, the copper hanging pot is just wonderful! The white pitcher is so pretty! I just bought two new white pitchers from Ross for $3.99 each. They are great, but I love how smooth the surface is on your pitcher. What a great finds and price! Your fabric is so pretty! Looks like it made for your deck! makeover! I wish we had Pottery Barn here! Love all your wonderful finds. I wanted to tell you, the post you did on the redneck swing, I was planning to show my husband, for I knew he would love it as we have a tire swing for the grandchildren. The next day, my daughter came home with the horse redneck swing, she got for free, before I could even tell anyone I saw it on your website! lol Now the tree has the tire and redneck horse for the grandchildren to play on, they are having so much fun.
That fabric is amazing !!!! I can’t wait to see what you do , and adding it to the kitchen too…hmm new curtains and covers for your chairs ???? It would be very pretty Rho…..
We are covered in smoke/smog today….it’s actually coming down from Canada…..you would swear we were in LA all smogged in…. crazy….
***Rhoda I made hamburg patties that were a big hit….I put together beef and ground pork…sea salt, pepper, garlic powder and added Feta cheese, did the hole in the patty trick so it stayed flat….popped them on the grill and everyone loved them….thought I’d pass along !!!
Happy Monday….
Kathy 🙂

Oooh I love the fabric. Can’t wait to see what you do with the deck.
Girls, I have got the junkin’ fever bad…so bad that I have to go and look at the finds of complete strangers and get a junkin’ fix…how sad is that?! It is such a fun addiction but I believe it is an addiction. Don’t you all just love the warm weather so we can go? I don’t know if I could stand some place warm, where I could junk year round.
You just might have my favorite link party EVER! Love it!
