It was indeed a good yardsale Saturday and I had a lot of fun scoping out a few deals. Found this chair, which I’m not sure where I’ll put (probably one guestroom), but it called my name at $15 and I think it will look fabulous with a coat of paint and some new snazzy fabric, don’t you?
It’s got a great shape to it, not too fancy, but not plain either. 
Best of Earth Wind and Fire takes me back a few years, $1.
This mug is extra large with a wide mouth and I got it for my hubby, Peter. He loves birds too and it was only 25 cents. 
Love this black wall sconce that I scored for $5. It was originally wired to be mounted on the wall, but she had added a plug in to it, so I can hang it on the wall and plug it in. So cute, I couldn’t pass it up. 
This nice sized Fitz and Floyd Christmas serving piece was $5. F&F always makes pretty dishware. 
And last, but not least, these pretty and colorful old books were 25 cents each. I picked them mainly for their colors (great for stacking on shelves), but I love the old Picture story Bible.
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.
Thanks and let’s have some fun this week with Today’s Thrifty Treasures party!

I’m trying that new picture linky on this party and I think it is self-explanatory, but let me know if you have any problems. I think having pics will be fun!
Great finds Rhoda! I’m so glad thrifty treasures is back. I’ve been slow getting back into it. I like that wall sconce and the great old books. Have a great week…
Hi, Rhoda. 🙂 I’ve been trying to link up with your new linky thing, but I keep getting an error message. 🙁 I’ll keep trying!
How how fun, Rhoda. I love the new McLinky. That’s great. Great score on the books and the chair too.
Love that mug. How entertaining to see a cardinal in green!
Finally got it to work! 🙂 Thanks for hosting…I always look forward to your party. 🙂
Hi Rhoda –
Seeing the photo of the album- the Best of Earth Wind and Fire made me smile. Haven’t seen that in awhile. It was one of my favorites when I was in college. One side I think started with September. My roomate and I probably played the record so much the grooves wore on the vinyl.
Rhoda, I love your new blog look (loved the old one, too!) – hope you’ll enjoy it! Thanks for hosting Thrifty Treasures each week! I think part of the reason my mind opened up to thrifting was when I started reading your blog about a year ago. Now, I love it and don’t even want to pay “regular” prices for things – ha! Thanks again and have a blessed week!
Rhoda, you found some terrific bargains. Love the chair. It will look great I am sure when you get through with it. You certainly got a great buy on the old books. I am going to have to start hitting the yard sales.
OHHH I’m in love with that chair and can’t wait to see what you do with it!
Hi Rhoda! Great finds! That wonderful frenchy chair is my favorite! I love the sconce, too! Happy week!…hugs…Debbie
Cool new McLinky thingy!
Rhoda, I love the chair that you found. It will be so pretty when you re-do it. I’m wondering how you re-do the fabric yourself. Please let us see how it is all done. I can’t wait to see it. I went yard saling on Saturday, but came home empty-handed this time, which is unusual. Have a wonderful week. Love & blessings from NC!
Great scores! I love the old books. I’m always on the lookout for those.

I love that chair Rhoda. I have to stop buying them right now because I am running out of places to put them. We still have two waiting for a makeover. Great finds this weekend.
Nice finds! Always love seeing what you’ve come across.
Took me forever for your page to come up! Thought I wasn’t going to get to comment.

What great finds! I love that chair. Can’t wait to see what you do with it.
You made me laugh. I remember a post where you said you didn’t need anymore chairs, and that’s your 2nd one. LOL! That’s the kiss of death. I know b/c I’m the same way. If I say I don’t need something, whatever the item is attracts me like a magnet from then on, whether I need it or not. Then, I thought you were going to say you got the mug b/c your husband has a ‘big mouth’, but you said he liked birds. That Fitz & Floyd piece is the best along w/ the wall sconce! You had a good thrifting/sailing weekend!
The chair has great lines and I love the old books!
Love the new look! Now that I am done with moving and traveling for awhile I am looking forward to hitting up some yard sales next weekend! Hope to find a treasure to share!! 🙂
Ohhhh Miss Rhoda…Love your new look. It’s soooo you~
