Girls, it’s party time…here’s your chance to share your very favorite yardsale/thriftstore/estate sale find EVER. Even though I could have chosen any NUMBER of wonderful things that I’ve found while yardsaling and thrifting over the last 10 years or so, I think for me it has to be this piecrust table that I shared with y’all earlier this year. It was one of those things that I just stumbled upon out yardsaling that called my name. Even though I really couldn’t afford the $75 that was the asking price at the time, I dug deep and bought it anyway and I’m so glad I did. Since I love older furniture SO much, this piece is a treasure. and even though it didn’t come from my family, it will be part of our family from here on out.
I was not fortunate enough to come from a family (on either side) that had fine, precious antique pieces, but didn’t let that stop me. Buy someone else’s family history! This is one of those pieces that I’ll treasure always.
They just don’t make furniture like this anymore….well, they do, but certainly not for $75!
One of my very faithful blog readers, Kathy in the Boston area, who doesn’t have a blog wanted to play along too, so I’m sharing a pic from her house. She found this beautiful hutch for $75 at a sale and treasures it too. Great score, Kathy! For those of you who pay attention to wall colors, Kathy’s color is Ben Moore Beach Glass, a very popular light blue.
One of my real life friends in Georgia, Judy, sent me these 2 pics of HER favorite finds. The tole tray was purchased from The Bunnie’s Bungalow (sweet Debra) and now graces the wall of Judy’s kitchen. Not sure how much this beauty was.
And Judy found this $75 trunk, now a fabulous coffee table, at an antique store in Georgia.
Another of my very sweet readers, Sheila in Florida, sent me these pics of her very favorite china pattern, Hunting Scene, made by Coalport and Wedgewood. She got an 8 place setting closeout set at an antique store for $200. That sounds like a great deal to me.
Please! No one else send me anymore pics now. I can’t go back and keep editing this post all day. We’ll all just have to enjoy all the links. I’m SO excited to see all these links already and SO happy that so many of you wanted to play. Yipppeeeee!
Now, how about you?! I can’t wait to go and visit all of YOU to see what your favorite find of all time will be! Just add your link to Mr. Linky and we’ll all be by to visit. The party officially starts on Thursday a.m., but we’ll all need time to add links. All you need to do is go to your specific post that you want to link about your yardsale find (not JUST your blog URL)….right click & highlight that posts’s URL, then come here and add your blog name AND paste that URL right there on Mr. Linky. And don’t forget to post a link from your party post back to THIS post so that everyone can come and join the party!
That’s it…Let the party begin!

Rhoda, I may have tried to knock you over to get to that AMAZING piecrust table first. (OK, not really. I read that newspaper article about you and I think you could take me in a yard sale duel 😉
Kathy…$75 for that hutch? Fantastic!! I’m glad you could play along, too. 🙂
Looks like another day of blog partying for me. I’m going to need a vacation!
Oh Rhoda, I do apologize! I think I have gone overboard! It was so hard to narrow the selection down, and I believe I posted too many! Hope it doesn’t bore everyone! 🙂
Love your table! The curved lines are so pretty! Thanks for hosting this event! ~Rhonda
Hi Rhoda,
What a gorgeous home you have…wow!! Thanks for hosting this..I love touring everyone’s blogs! It is such a great way to meet everyone!
~Angie
Oh, I love yard sales and thrift shops, and your little table. 🙂
I just added you to my reader so I can keep up with your finds!
I have been lurking for a while. I love all your beautiful things. I am new to Mr. Linky, and messed up my first attempt, with no knowledge on how to fix it. So sorry. I love your table and your blog.
Hi Rhoda! What a fun idea! Can’t wait to see everyone’s thrifty finds! And of course, your pie crust table is one of my favorites!
I’m fairly new to you but I’m so in love with your decorating style! That table is such an amazing find! It’s absolutely gorgeous and I’m glad you snatched it!
Your friend also scored too! What a lovely find and that blue is so pretty on her wall. You know me and color, I couldn’t help but notice;-)
Sorry I didn’t get my little yardsale find done last evening. I really wanted to join in too but I was not feeling well and went to bed early.
But I’m up with you to tour around to check out what everyone else has found! Thanks for taking the time to do this, I know I’ll enjoy!
Have a GREAT DAY!
Good morning Rhoda.
Such a fun party. I’ve been around visiting some of your guests and have enjoyed their finds. Just posted mine. I stopped by last night and read yours and love your table.
Hugs,
Sue
Oh, that is a beautiful table. You are definately the diva with your finds. Thanks for having the party and inviting all of us……
I can’t wait to check out everyone else’s links! Thanks for hosting!! :o)
hi Rhoda
love your table, delicious photos and goes so well with your style, I remember one very similar…
I’ve joined in the party and have not had much time today to blogsurf all the other participants, I have this earmarked for tomorrow morning with a nice LARGE coffee

Mornin Rhoda, I have joined the party! Thanks for hosting such a fun post! Love all your finds, that table is a jewel! Hope you have a great day. nancy
Rhoda, thank you for hosting today’s fun, best “find” day. Your pie crust table is wonderful. I had one that fell over and broke the top beyond repair. I still had the legs and my father put a new top on the legs. A work of art, I’ll show it sometime. In today’s market your table was a great find. Lucky you girl!!
I love your friend’s hutch as well. It was great that you could feature her lovely find.
Have a great day, Jeanne
Hey girl…count me in…I loved that table and I am looking forward to seeing what everybody else has…this is a great idea!
Hey Rhoda, thanks for hosting the party. I enjoyed being able to participate. I love the piecrust table along with everything else in your home and all the ideas you give us. Have a blessed day!
How fun, I enjoyed doing this post.
Great Idea! Dana
Hi Rhoda-I think this is my first time commenting, but I am a die hard lurker here. Really enjoy your posts and all the goodies you find. The pie-crust table is lovely.
My sister and I share a blog and I linked to a post that she wrote about her daughter’s room and the beautiful bed she found. There is also a link to one of my favorite finds.
I have been enjoying all of the links!
I have visited everyone’s site, except Judy Clark, her link is not working.
Great party, Rhoda!
Bella 🙂
I'm SO happy to have such a great participation in this yardsale/thrifting party! Thank you ALL so much. I'm almost finished making the rounds…just a few more to go.
Bella, Judy is my friend in Atlanta & I added her pics to this post. She is blogless!
Thanks again ya'll for the great participation!
xo,
Rhoda
Rhoda, to answer your question, no. I did buy her to sell at the time I was selling antiques, but I couldn’t part with her. I always tell my dh, If I am hungry, I’ll sell. I hope I’m never that hungry. Smile
