Another giveaway, another winner! Elz from Elzabelz is the winner of the Southern Living magazine giveaway. Congrats to you, Elz, you lucky girl you. I wish I had copies for every one of you.
Even when I’m out of town, I look for yardsales and when I was in Atlanta over Mother’s Day, there was a big one in a nearby shopping center. They must have it every year at this time, because this is the 3rd time I’ve hit it.
Found this pretty footed bowl at the sale in Marietta for $5. More white pottery, it seems to find me.
Wooden plant holder with metal handle was $2.
I’m still looking for good stuff for the Lovelady room redo and I have found some super things. On my way to Atlanta on Saturday, I could hardly get out of town for all the yardsale signs that kept pulling me in. Yep, I do brake for yardsales! 🙂 I found this cute folding bookcase for $5. It’s already been primed and painted my pretty shade of blue/green for the Lovelady room. I was SO excited to find this, it will be a perfect addition for those girls.This adorable corkboard was also $5. And the urn and bird were around $3 for both. I might keep that little bird, he’s pretty cute. And at the Marietta sale, I found a perfect set of tab-top drapery panels for $5 for the pair. These will be a great addition to the room too. It’s all coming together SO nicely. It will probably be June before we put it all together and get the room painted, but I’ll be sure and share all the details!
Debbie and I hit the Mt. Laurel neighborhood sale this weekend, as well as MY neighborhood sale, but all of that will have to wait til another time. We did score some great stuff though!
So, now it’s YOUR turn for the party this week! What have YOU found lately. Add your link to the Linky list and remember our guidelines for the party:
- Add your permalink to the link list, which is the actual post that you did for this party, NOT your general blog url. To get the actual post, after you publish the post, just click on the title and THAT will be your party post url. Last year, I can’t tell you how many links I had to fix. This year I might get mean & delete them, so PLEASE try to get the correct url in the first time! 🙂
- Please add my button to your post or blog OR at least link back to this post in your post. That’s all I ask. It’s common courtesy to link back to the person having the party, so that all of your readers can find it too.
- Please do NOT link to an Etsy shop or something similar (even if you think it’s a fabulous deal) or I will delete the link. This party is for sharing thrifty finds from yardsales, thriftstores, or something along those lines.
Let’s have some fun this week with the Thrifty Treasures party!

Sheila says
Rhoda, those are some good finds! I can’t wait to see what you’re working on for the Lovelady project. That sounds neat.
You always find the best things at garage sales. I need to shop with you!
XO,

Queen of Fifty Cents says
Love the shelves–good thing your car is so well trained!
Kate says
Great finds! I love the bookcase and the burlap lampshade!
Marty@A Stroll thru Life says
Oh what great finds. I love them all. The white ironstone is stunning and the drapes are fabulous. I would love those. The planter box and bookcase are also just perfect. Great job. I have struck out at yard sales so far. Not much here. Hugs, Marty
Christy says
Great finds, Rhoda! Love that burlap shade. Good luck with your Lovelady room redo, can’t wait to see it! Thanks for hosting us every week.
Rhonda says
Great finds! I love the wooden planter with the twisted handle.
It takes me forever to get to my destinations too. It would be a crime not to turn the car around for a good yard sale or flea market!
Rhonda
Jojo says
Amazing finds, really! You must confess…do you have one of the bumper stickers that warns other drivers that you brake for yard sales?!!!
Beth says
I live near Marietta and would love to know which shopping center that was in. I’ll have to keep an eye out for it. There were lots of garage sale signs this weekend but I wasn’t able to stop for any of them. Hopefully next weekend!
Sue says
You DO find some of the best things, Rhoda! Have to say my favorite thing for this haul is the footed bowl. I love white anything! LOL My yard sale finds were minimal this past week, but there is always next week! I cracked up at your saying you brake for the sale signs- I did the same thing for the first time on Thursday. The poor guy in back of me was probably cursing me out. What fun it is to be hooked!!
:- ) Sue
Lana Austinl says
I love, love, love that footed bowl!!!!! More white stuff…..I am always on the look out too!!!
Today I put up my tablescape that has my yard sale votives (well, I use them for candles, but I think they were originally sherbet bowls–they were only 50 cents a piece) and my supe ron sale candleabras from Michaels and a repeat of my tureen found at the thrift store that I also showed a few weeks ago.
Instead of a real tablescape, it was more of a “look what I go super cheap” table o’ white!!!!! \
I hope that you have a super blessed week,
Lana
Liz@HoosierHomemade says
Looks like some more great finds! I can’t wait to see what you do with their room for the ladies! Thanks so much for hosting!

Linda says
Rhoda, I love your thrifty treasures. You inspire me to be a more thrifty shopper although this is my first time to post some thrifty treasures. I do enjoy consignment sales and Ebay shopping to get some good deals for my grandchildren. Thanks for sharing your thrifty treasures.
Jess @ Frugal with a Flourish says
Love that bookcase! And that lampshade is too cute! Thanks for hosting!
kelley blake says
Please tell me where in Marietta this sale was Rhoda! I have to know! I was in Marietta for Mother’s day too and stumbled upon a yard sale off of Canton Road! I posted my link above with my finds. Looks like you got some great finds, too! 🙂
