I hit a few yardsales and the Briarwood Flea Market, which I went to last year and found just a few things this week. From one yardsale, I found this incomplete set of green acrylic handled flatware for $1. I figured for that price, these would be great for a picnic or eating outdoors.
At another house, I spotted this cute folding bamboo table tray. He had it marked at $10, but when I admired it, he quickly said he’d take $5. How could I pass it up for that? I didn’t! This could come in handy on the porch when we are entertaining out there.
At one house, I found these cute Michael Kors lime green wedge shoes for $2 and some Gap white cotton cropped pants for $1.Â
With all my lime green, these shoes will come in handy. I wore the pants to church today so that’s why they look wrinkled already. They are a nice crisp cotton/spandex and fit very nicely. I love paying $1 for pants.
At the flea market, I found the vintage bullseye block for $2, and the small plate for 35 cents. The taller Floraline vase was from another yardsale and was only 25 cents.
So, that was my week! As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I’m definitely going to have a yardsale of my own sometime soon, probably September, so you Birmingham girls who are interested in stopping by, let me know. I have to clean out some of my stash.
I’ve also been working on wallpapering and painting in my office nook this past week and it is looking SO gorgeous! I’ll be sharing that with you this week too.
And finally, the winner of the Arise Shine $50 giveaway is Kim #59, who said: “The trust charm is my favorite! I would also like to have the Children are a Heritage of the Lord boy charm.” I’ve emailed Kim to tell her the good news.

Those sandals are adorable! The little table was a deal and I just love that bullseye detail! The hubby has put my thrifting on hold until I work through all my other finds sitting in the garage – so I linked up a piece that I redid this weekend! Thanks for hosting!
Great shoes! I love the architectural piece.
Loving all the finds, Rhoda! That silverware is perfect for outdoor entertaining!

Gotta love a bargain…I sure do!!! The best is that silverware…so pretty on the table on a summer day!!!
I am your newest follower! I found you through Whisper Wood Cottage. I am a junking enthusiast, and I can’t wait to link up to your party. I was so excited to see that someone had created a party just for showing off your junking finds! Thanks!
Girl! You got some great deals! $5.00 is my limit, so that table caught my eye right away.
love the shoes, britches AND the white things!

Rhoda, A very good morning! Do you believe I’ve not been a follower all this time? I so love to come and visit~ Now I am an official follower.
You certainly found some lovely treasures! I LOVE the green flatware! I can just picture them in some fabulous tablescapes! Or in a mason jar on a shelf full of ironstone with some splashes of green.
The bamboo table is so versital! Where are you going to use it?
Finding bargains and giving a second (or 3rd, or 4th) life to something is such a thrill, isn’t it?
This was a great way to start my day and my creative juices!
Blessings, dear one!

Hi Rhoda!
Looks like you had loads of FUN!
I would have fought you for that little bamboo table 🙂
I hope my link qualifies–I am talking about finding things for cheap, cheap (at yard sales/thrift stores, etc…) then re-selling them on eBay to make $, be a stay-at-home mom, and still help bring $ in.
Blessings on your day and thank you for letting me visit 🙂
Hugs,

I love the floraline vase. I am a florist and I collect the vintage florist vases. I have that one and some really cute novelty ones too. I only scored the vintage chandelier that I posted about today. It was one of the best finds I have for the summer since I have been looking for one for my bedroom.
Nice finds! All classic and timeless. My find shared this week was very thrifty, though not from a thrift. Hope it qualifies!
A fun week of thrifting! I have the same set of green acrylic flatware.
Have a wonderful day!
Oh I just adore your bamboo table. I have two bamboo chairs and am constantly keeping an eye out for matching furniture. $5 was a fab price. Great finds this week. Oh by the way it was lovely to hear that you and Sandy (Reluctant Entertainer) are friends. Sandy and I have known each other since we both started blogging. What a small world eh?
Great bargains. Love the little bamboo tray.
Come visit … I have a giveaway!!!!
