Yardsale Finds for my Desk

May 10, 2009 By Rhoda 61 Comments

Back from a very nice Mother’s Day with my family in Atlanta and I’ll share some of that later this week if you’d like to see some pics. I’m still cleaning up the kitchen after being gone for a couple days and you’ll see pics VERY soon! I’m absolutely in love with the new granite. 🙂

In the meantime, let’s get Today’s Thrifty Treasures started…..I’ve got a couple things to share.

Sometimes that great little item just pops up at a yardsale and you have to bring it home. This cute little black desk organizer was only $3 and did I mention it’s black? So, of course it had to find its way to my desk. See those cute little ball feet on it? Love it.

It will be perfect to keep all the papers I have floating around my desk all the time in an organized fashion.

Let me just say one more time. I “heart” yardsales! They will spoil you, that’s for sure.

Found one more little item for my desk area. This cute leopard memo board was $1. This is actually the 2nd one of these I’ve found, so I decided to keep this one (instead of sell it to a friend). It covers up the outlets back here that I’m not using.

And makes a nice backdrop and a perfect spot for adding photos.

Yep, I heart yardsales.

How did you do with the sales this week? It’s time to share with Mr. Linky, so add your link below and let’s get started! Don’t forget to post a link back HERE from your blog too, so everyone can find the party. AND, be sure and post your thrifty post permalink and not just a link to your blog, please!

    Rhoda,

    You must have the best yard sales in the country in your back yard. I would show you my finds from my latest yard sale hunt but I doubt you’d be interested in my empty Hellman’s jar or sunglasses with one lens missing.

    Awesome finds Rhoda! The desk organizer and memo board couldn’t be any more perfect for your office. Isn’t yard sale treasure hunts the absolute best? ♥

    Great finds. I love yardsales. My husband and I would go every Saturday morning when we lived in Pa. I haven’t been to many since moving to Florida. I think this Saturday we will have to make a plan, grab a cup of latte, the newspaper and map out a route. Wow, I’m excited, want to come along?

    I absolutely scored this weekend on ONE sale.

    Love what you did w/your desk. That’s on my list – to find some things to spruce mine up 🙂

    Happy Monday, Rhoda!

    Great finds as usual Rhoda. I didn’t see a single yard sale, here at the lake. I did go to a resale shop. Didn’t find a single thing, though!!

    Hi Rhoda,
    I have been looking for an organizer just like that! Your desk area is so clean and organized, you put me to shame!
    Have a great week!

    One of my favorite things to do…repurpose/refinish/restore.
    I hope an “alley find” qualifies.
    So much fun!
