There weren’t a ton of sales this weekend, but I did manage to spot a neighborhood sale in Mountain Brook. You know, that neighborhood.
This time of year is so beautiful and with the extra rain, the native oakleaf hydrangeas are looking extra spectacular. I didn’t take pics at the sales, but it was in a very nice wooded neighborhood.
I spied this still useful wheelbarrow for $5 and had decided that if/when I ran into one of these at a good price, I’d snag it. This weekend was it. This green baby will come in handy for the yard projects.
A real-like birdie to use in a spring arrangement, was 50 cents. He’s so cute with his little tufted head!
A very nice in great condition buttah-soft men’s leather jacket for my hubby, was $15. He already has one, but this one fits him better than the old one and at that price, a steal.
Six acrylic glasses for outdoor use, from my neighbor’s yardsale, $3 for all. Love the colors.
I picked up 2 of these melamine plates last week at Walmart ($2.50 each) and they will all work together well. I sat them on the Dayspring placemats and love all the colors together. I’m going to continue to scout Walmart for when they put these on sale. They also carry bowls too and I’d like to get more.
The 5 green napkins were 50 cents each, for a total of $2.50.
And even though the greens aren’t an exact match with the plate, that’s OK, I like to mix things up. I have other green napkins too that will work with these plates (and those came from a yardsale too!)
Now, if it will only quit raining, we can sit outside and use these!

I just shared my very first estate sale finds…I was inspired by your blog! Actually the last 2 posts cover my weekend. When your first find ever is a beautiful antique rocker for a steal…well, I’m afraid I am addicted. Dh isn’t thrilled.
