Weekly Finds

Saturday, I hit just a few sales before spin class and came up with some fun little treasures. There were 2 in my neighborhood and one house has some cute little garden items. This little ceramic frog bird feeder was $1.
And the Chef Bunny holding the chalkboard (that came from Steinmart, with the sticker price of $40 on bottom) was $1. I don’t have that much kitchen counter space, but maybe I can find a spot for him.

On the practical side, I am going to need some rings for my new black/white damask drape in the guestroom redo and these were 25 cents. Perfect! They will be sprayed black, of course.
Another frog chime was 25 cents.
Pretty blue butterfly was 50 cents. Some days I get a lot for just a couple of dollars.
And last, a really cool iron chandelier that I’m going to hang in my black/tan toile cottage guestroom. I think I have enough fabric left to cover the shades in toile. I think this will be a pretty addition for $10.
This is the bottom side that will be seen while it’s hanging.
I’m going to slow down from the yardsales very soon. Time to start working on that black/white guestroom and time to stop bringing more stuff home. Of course, my yardsale will help to get rid of some of the extras next weekend! My hubby will be happy about that.

    Great finds! I thought of you this weekend… my mom has a pie table she found for 8$ at a yard sale. It was totally like the ones you have.

    I can’t believe that chef bunny was $1.00. If you can’t find a place for him, I’ll buy him for $5.00. 🙂

    Rhoda, I so ENJOY reading your blog and seeing the TREASURES you find! I can never seem to find anything here in the OC near the fantastic things you find! I really like your sense of style. If you get a minute, could you come over to my blog and see my posting today? I’m having a color dilemma on a recent find of mine, and would REALLY appreciate your thoughts!!

    You are unbelievable! I mean, I believe you and all…but wow! 🙂

    And…you are headed to NYC?! Oh…I would love to meet for tea! (Some Northern-Southern hospitality, if you will!). Too bad it will be too cold for yard sales…or I’d stuff you in my car and cart you to the suburbs. 🙂

    You certainly are the queen of yard sale finds. Good for you. Love that bunnu chef. I have a few chefs, but they are all piggies.

    Oh my goodness, I found your rabbit’s brother at the Goodwill Saturday! Well, maybe a cousin, LOL! …but he is very similar. Mine had a different finish and has a basket on the front of him! I love yours and mine! Great finds! ~Rhonda
