Since there are so many of us who love the bargains of yardsales and thrifting, I thought it would be fun to share our finds every Monday, so for the next few Mondays (don’t know how long we’ll go), I’m going to put up Mr. Linky and all of you who have been out hunting the bargains can share with everyone what you found. I go yardsaling most every weekend and sometimes I find several great things and sometimes just a few little things, but I’ll be sharing my finds too and showing you what I do with them. I have to be very selective these days, since when something comes into my house, another thing needs to go out. We’ll call it Today’s Thrifty Treasures, so join me here every Monday and I’ll do this at least for the next few weeks if everyone enjoys it. Grab the button for your blog and be sure to link back to my blog too, so everyone can participate. Spread the word!
Edited to add: OK, Ladies! I’m going to have to do a little tutorial on how to play with Mr. Linky. Once your post is done, click on the title & you will see a long address in your browser box. COPY THAT url and post into the Mr. Linky box, since THAT post will be permanent in the links and months from now, someone can click on your link and find your post. Don’t just paste your BLOG url, but the actual post url. Got it, OK good?! I just had to go change a bunch of the links to the actual post.
And just to be fair with this, please post a link BACK here to my blog telling your readers about the party every week when you participate (whether you post my button or not). So now you know how it all works from week to week. Thanks so much!
Even though my collection is not expensive ironstone (I wish!), which is out of my budget for the most part, I just can’t seem to get enough of this white creamware and my eyes are constantly on the lookout for bargains at the yardsales. And luckily, I seem to score pretty often on it too. Found this pretty soup tureen, which has become one of my favorite things to collect in white, recently at a yardsale for $8. A steal! It’s nice and large too.
With a cute little lid and a perfect little ladle.
It’s a nice addition to the sideboard. The bunny tureen adds just a bit of color in here too.
Ahhh, it’s so pretty, I could just stare at it awhile.
Never get tired of the creamy white dishes.
I just started my collection in January of last year and just love how it all goes together, with the varied white and creamy tones.
OK, what did YOU find over the weekend? Anything exciting? Do share the treasures. Just add your permalink to Mr. Linky AND add a link back to this post so your readers can join the party too.

The white looks so lovely in any setting. I haven’t been to any yard sales in a long time. It is kinda cold up here still.
Pat@Back Porch Musings says
Sounds like a fun event. You already know how much I love creamware. The tureen is lovely!
I did met monday this week and featured Mary Ruth’s house.
If I come up with a great bargain over the weekend, I’ll post it! I’ll take the button and put it on my sidebar, this morning.

Lovely tureen! I love white creamware also. 🙂 I’m so glad you started this party. I love looking at everyone’s treasures plus I love sharing my treasures too!
FOR THE SAKE OF TIME says
Your creamware is lovely! Isn’t the search for the right pieces i just so exciting? I REALLY need to do the “one thing in and one thing out” routine. My closets, basement, and husband would appreciate it. LOL
Can you tell us about the shades on your buffet lamps? I love them.

Hi Rhoda…Beautiful creamware! I love it! I seem to have a weakness for tureens. 🙂 Love the new event! Thanks…Debbie
Katie says
Check out my blog post today!! Love your blog.
Rose says
Oh, Rhoda! Your tureen is a gorgeous piece. Will you be using it or will it be decorative? Such pretty, graceful lines.
I’ll be checking back to see what others find. I don’t have the budget to buy deco stuff (or the space), but am interested in seeing what others find.
Phillips Phamily Mama says
I’ve always marveled at the prices of tureens! You got great deals.
Our dining room now has a platter/plate collection hung. I’ve picked a fabric (the toile) but I’ve not purchased it yet. I’m slow to move, girl!
Thanks for hosting! I’ll send you pics when I’m done!
Donna says
Hi Rhoda,
I don’t have my own blog but would like to share what I found this weekend…..
A mustard color tray – I would like to play with decorating this….any suggestions?
A large pink basket – my granddaughter’s new toy box.
A hat box – and it wonderful, I’m guessing I will display something in it, not sure, again, suggestions?
3 old Valentine post cards
Last Valentine Day, since my lighted wreath was still up, I clipped old Valentine post card to it and called it my Valentine wreath….problem, it got so windy that I actually lost three postcard, this weekend, found three more. I need to figure out a way to clip them on so the wind doesn’t blow them off.
Diane says
Hi Rhoda. Really enjoyed my visit. Love the creamware, just gorgeous. Hugz, Diane
Little Lovables says

Mary Ruth says
I never tire of creamware or white dishes! Beautiful find!
Linda/"Mom" says
* Rhoda, I don’t really know the “difference” between one or the other~~~ I just know “I like the white stuff”!!!~ It’s so clean, so uncomplicated and so dernnnnnned perrrrrrdy!!! And what you’ve “found” is wonderful, no matter WHAT the “pedigree”!!! I’ve so enjoyed watching the way you’ve been adding, subtracting, “whatever-ing”~~~ DELIGHTFUL! Warmest, Linda *
AnNicole @ OurSuburbanCottage says
I love your find! I never get tired of white dishes either. Great idea to share thrift store finds!
the pleasures of homemaking says
As you know I’m partial to soup tureens anyway and this is such a little beauty! You have a wonderful collection already even though it’s only been a few months!
I’ll try to play along next week. I found a bunch of good things today at the thriftstore!
