First of all, Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads in your life! I wished my Dad Happy Father’s Day greetings on the phone and will be seeing him in person real soon, just in time for his birthday in July.
This weeks finds range from the “practical” to the “I just really want that” category. I’m sure all you garage sale shoppers understand that perfectly, right?!
I hit a small neighborhood sale near my house and found a few things there. First up is one of those outdoor plastic boxes. I have been wanting one of these to store my swing and chair cushions under the deck, so I don’t have to keep dragging them back and forth from the garage every time I want to sit out there. This way, they will be high and dry in the box and out of the weather until I need them. The light weight planter came from the same sale (and looks better than this pic shows) and I got both for $15. A really good deal, I thought. Those big boxes retail new for about $50-60 and I wasn’t about to pay that.
In another neighborhood, I found this cute little green and white plate for $1. Don’t know what I’ll do with it yet, but it was too cute to pass up. It’s marked Japan ironstone on the back.
This pair of iron candleholders was $2, they’re really heavy and I love fleur de lis. Where will they go? I haven’t a clue yet.
And they have a cute little crystal on the ends.
Only one clothing item this week, this cute little lime and brown top from NY & Co. was $1 and perfect for summer and I wore it to church this morning with a chocolate brown skirt.
Then I went down to Homewood to a sale that sounded really fun. He was selling out a store with lots of goodies, old and new. I found the above 3 things for $5 there, which I was happy with. Those are really old blue Ball quart jars. And I just loved the aqua vase too. I’ve managed to find quite a few pieces of aqua pottery since I decided to add that color to my palette. Now, on to the really fun find….
One of my readers emailed me about an estate sale and I went back for this set of silverplate flatware after seeing it on Friday. It’s Rogers King James pattern (which I found out is not made anymore) and I got it for $100. It’s a really nice set and I will treasure it forever. I’ve always admired this pattern and used to have a pattern similar from Macy’s. I’ll continue to use my other stainless everyday and this will be for special occasions and at 16 place settings, a very nice find.
I have always loved the shell pattern. So, this is the “I just really want that” find, did you figure that out yet?!
This is a classic and I’ll enjoy it for years to come. These pics aren’t the greatest, but you get the idea how pretty they are.

What a beautiful silver set! I also love the scones with the little crystal at the bottom, how cute!
Oh Rhoda, use the candles on the patio wall, that would be too cute!
All such great finds it's hard to pick a favorite. I just love silver, and I'm sure your silverware will be loved and used by you for years to come.
Good going on all of your finds, Rhoda! I thought about you because I went thrifting one day last week. Wish you had been here to go with me!
XO,
Sheila 🙂
I have a silverplate set my grandmother gave me very similar to that – I've always wondered what it might be worth. Great finds as always!
You found some really great buys. We all are guilty of buying things we do not always actually need, but in time you will find a use for everything. I loved your post.
THank you for having this party. Its so fun to see everyone's finds! Love your new silverware!
Seriously, it is easy to find silverplate for 16 for $100?

It looks like you had a fun weekend shopping! Such wonderful finds…especially the silverware. I love silverware and you can never have enough. The Ball jars are great too. I found some not too long ago at my hubby's family home. They are attractive.
Have a beautiful Monday,

My, you've got some treasures this time! That is a good idea about the box to keep the cushions in. I must remember that.
I love those candle holders, and that silverplate is a special treat, I am sure. Well done!

Rhoda, love the sconces and the plate… You are definitely the queen of yard sales- everything you got was a find! Thanks again for hosting. 🙂 Sue
Oh I am so jealous! I have been wanting a deck box, I need something to store all my daughter's outside stuff in. Great find!!
I want one of those boxes. Everytime I see one, it has a sold sign on it. Maybe one day. You got some neat things.
What great finds!!! Love the plate and the blue vase! And course the silver is great!!!
Hi Rhoda, I'm joining your Thrifty Treasures for the first time. I sure enjoy seeing what everyone finds! Junking is just the most fun a girl can have I think! You found some really cool stuff. The candle holders were neat and what a buy on the storage thing for your deck! Beautiful silverplate!! Thanks for hosting such a fun party!
great finds for you and me this week! i especially like your outdoor box and could use one myself for our pool toys.
My goodness, you have outdone yourself AGAIN! Love your finds. Of course I am so partial to silver, that I'm sure that would be my favorite.
You got a tremendous deal with that outdoor patio box and container! What fun to finds these bargains, isn't it??

Hi Rhoda,
Great finds, I have the tea cup and saucer in the green checker pattern. The cup is so cute and is shaped the same as the saucer. I have many stray saucers that I have been collecting for years, and how I use them is for a spoon rest by the teapot and coffee pot. Also I use them by the stove to rest the spoon on instead of the counter while cooking.
Enjoy your day,
Elizabeth
Love the outdoor storage box. I could use one, too. We have to get our cushions from the shed at the back of the yard every time we want them. And the candleholders are great! Ya done good!
I have an outdoor storage box that my boys put toys in. Never thought of putting cushions in it, what a dunce I am!
I love the candleholders and the silverware. Great finds!!!
