So, I got the yardsale mojo going at least one more weekend and discovered that one of my favorite neighborhoods, Eagle Point, was having their annual Fall sale. Oh, it’s usually a pretty good one and I was not disappointed. 
People may think I’m just the biggest cheapskate, but really now, who can blame me for shopping like this? When you shop like this for years and find the deals, it’s hard to go back to shopping like regular folks. I don’t ever want to be regular again, I’m having too much fun this way. These pretty pink slip on Bandolino shoes were $2 and just like new. I have a few skirts that these will work with. I will disinfect them before wearing, but really I have no pride in wearing used shoes, as long as they look this good. 🙂 
Another creamware piece to add to the collection, this sweet little covered dish was $1. 
This is an old ashtray (do they even make these anymore?) and I just love the colors and it’s heavy old Italian pottery. Pretty bird too. For $1, I figured this would be good to sit a plant on. And besides, you know how much I love this color. 
One more bit of ‘Bama for hubby’s office, this metal tray is too cute. It’s pretty full now, so I have to stop bringing more home. $2 
This darling little wood easel was 10 cents. I’ll probably spray it black and use it on a shelf somewhere. Perfect for showcasing a seashell or a small framed print. 
When I spotted this old worn tiny hammer, I knew it would be perfect for storing in the sideboard for those small projects that come up. Don’t have to drag the big hammer up from the garage. 25 cents 
Always on the lookout to add to my workout clothes stash, this Danskin workout top was $1 and in perfect condition. Score! 
This sweet and summery lime green straw purse with shells and baubles was marked $2 and I asked if she’d take less, so I got it for $1. Not sure she was happy about it though. Oh well, that’s part of yardsales, the bargaining. Ditto on the lime green, love it. 
And a pretty and finely detailed white blouse from Coldwater Creek was $2, also in perfect condition. 
This aqua blue Nora Roberts book will be added to a bookshelf. I got it for the color, but it just might be good, Rivers End, for $1. So, that’s my haul for the week. I did find one more treasure that I’m passing on to my sister (she’ll pay me back). 
They have been working on updating their lighting too and this fixture will be perfect in one of the bedrooms or somewhere else. It was too pretty to pass up at $20. A real bargain and the thing weighs a TON.
Oh, and guess where I’ll be early on Monday morning?? Jury duty! Wonder if I’ll get picked? I sort of hope so, maybe it will be exciting. 🙂 I love lawyer-ly stuff and courtroom books. I got picked once at Atlanta Federal court (the only time I’ve ever served) and it was a drug trial with a female defendant. We convicted her. I’ll keep you posted.
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:

Wow, you ended the season with a bang didn’t you. So many lovely things! Love the pink shoes, wish I could wear shoes like that.
Oh by the way is it just my computer or does your blog load very slowly, it always takes me forever to get your page up.
Wow, you done good!! If I hadn’t seen some ducks on Saturday strolling down the sidewalk, I’d be really jealous! ;o)
As usual you got some great treasures. NO, you are not cheap, you are “thrifty” – there is a difference. 🙂
Like the chandelier – actually like it better than the one I found. I will miss this weekly event – Thanks so much for hosting it.
Oh Rhoda, you are funny! I’ve never heard of buying a book because it was the right color,
your bird ashtray is very cute.
The links have disappeared?!? Your blog took a long time to load for me also
I love the pink shoes and the white covered dish. What great deals! Thanks for hosting at least one more time. I love thrifty shopping too. Even when life gets really busy I try to find time to stop by my favorite thrift stores.
Wow, Rhoda! You found some great stuff! That chandelier was a steal! I love those shoes and the bag is so cute! Happy week!…Debbie
Hi Rhoda, Was just too pooped to post my loot from some estate sales. Also, have been busy getting my fall decorating post up. But I do want to say that I love you ashtray that you’ll be using for a plant saucer. Such a pretty green, as is the purse. And I could always have used a twenty five cent hammer!! Hope your sissy likes the chandy….
See ya later this week! hugs, Sue
Great finds! And good luck with jury duty. I’ve never been picked either, but would be interested to see how it all works.
Great treasures. YOu really did find a ton of great things. I havn’t seen any yard sales for a while in our neighborhood, I bet they start up soon with the weather cooling down. Great find, love them all. Hugs, Marty
WOW! you know how to go out with a bang! Way to go! Love that little easel and hammer and…well all of it! LOL
Thank you so much for hosting Thrifty Treasures, it has been fun.
*hugs*deb
PINK SHOES! Ohh la la! I am loving the tiny hammer and the creamware. Thanks for hosting this fun event week after week. I’ll be back next Spring. Hugs to all!
Why be foolish and pay full price when you can find lovely things so inexpensively? That’s just being smart not cheap!
Love the light fixture! The lime green bag is so cute! You did good as always!
Thanks so much for hosting this party! I’ve really enjoyed participating!

Don’t blame you for buying the little hammer. I have several small hammers and use them all the time.
Wow Rhoda you really found some great bargains I really love that white covered dish!! I’m glad your yard sales did not disappoint!
Everything’s wonderful, but that chandy! Oh, I had to catch my breath! FAHBULOUS!
Grins!
Pamm
Rhoda,
You found great buys as usual!
I thought jury duty was fun until the last time. It was a rape/murder trial, and the jury would be diciding on the sentencing (which could include the death penalty) The selection process was gruelling. Thank God, I was not chosen. What few facts they shared with us were horrid. I would have been a wreck!!! (They found him guilty – life in prison)
So, if you are chosen, I hope you have less stressful stuff!
Rhonda
Well, looks like a great thrifting weekend for you! Great bargains..love the purse!
Thanks for hosting!
It poured this Sat and I missed one of my favorite sales. Sure am hoping that they’ll reschedule for next weekend. I LOVE the pink shoes…we’ll be cheap together (actually just incredibly smart. 😉
Fun, fun!
It’s over for the year, Boo Hoo – but, I totally understand…
Thanks once again for hostessing this great party – I enjoyed it very much !
Looks like you found some great buys this week – love those shoes !
