Today’s Thrifty Treasures

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.

IMG_5115

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.

IMG_5149

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.

IMG_5138

A real-like birdie to use in a spring arrangement, was 50 cents. He’s so cute with his little tufted head!

IMG_5142

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.

IMG_5144

Six acrylic glasses for outdoor use, from my neighbor’s yardsale, $3 for all. Love the colors.

IMG_5147

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.

IMG_5146

The 5 green napkins were 50 cents each, for a total of $2.50.

IMG_5145

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!

So, what did you find this week? Add your link to Mr. Linky and let’s have a fun time sharing those treasures. Remember, add a link back HERE so everyone can come to the party and add your permalink (the url of your party post, NOT your blog url) to Mr. Linky. Thanks for playing! If Mr. Linky is acting up this week, just leave a comment about your post and people can visit from the comments. I hear he’s not been acting right lately. 🙂 Looks like he is working now!

    Wow Rhoda…It always amazes me what you find…and for WHAT price. I suppose if I went to garage sales I could find some goodies too. I just don’t ever seem to go! Sigh.

    I LOVE a good garage sale……it’s all about the thrill of the hunt, isn’t it??? And, finding things you didn’t even KNOW you needed! 🙂

    Happy Memorial Day.

    Warm blessings,
    Spencer

    Wow – great finds! That wheelbarrow is in really good shape too. I keep promising myself if I spot one at a good price I’ll grab one too but so far just broken down ones that should be in the dump.

    Love those plates!

    Thank you so much for stopping by and weighing in on the dining room color. One of my reservations with the orange wall color was the furniture color so I was so tickled that you agreed with me! I love your style and greatly value your opinion. I try to be willing to compromise with DH but I’m so picky he should know to just roll with my gut. In the end it saves him on work because if we do it and I don’t like it he will just have to redo it – hee hee. Thanks again!

    I just found your site and am in HEAVEN! I called like 10 of my bargain shopper friends to tell them about you. I’m adicted to yard sales/goodwill. I always find the best stuff, but my husband never cares too much for me to show him:-) I draw it out and really take my time tell him why it’s such a good deal.
    Anyhow, I will definitely be participating next week! Thank you for the fun new outlet for me
    🙂
    Love Helen Joy

    Rhoda, after reading everyone’s blogs and seeing all the treasures you’ve all found, I decided I needed to get in on the fun as well! I just hope I can find the same kind of success in finding some great deals!

    Rhoda,

    I didn’t find much this weekend. Some canning jars.

    I found the cutest market basket but made it even cuter.
