So, are you ready to go yardsaling with me again?
There weren’t any neighborhood sales near me this weekend, but there were plenty of sales around. I headed out fairly early and hit a couple in Brook Highland, a really nice neighborhood in my neck of the woods. This Duncan Phyfe table, chairs and buffet (which wasn’t out there) was marked at $400. I thought that was a great deal! What newly married person wouldn’t like to start off with something this classic in their diningroom. I have a thing for those harp designs anyway.
An obviously vintage old rocker definitely needs some work, but was $20, so maybe a project for someone to tackle.
This pretty oil painting was $20, nicely framed too.
This would be perfect for a kid’s room, at $75.
This weekend, I saw a lot of furniture out there. These pieces were $35 each, not bad for extra furniture for a kid’s room or guestroom.
Dresser was the same price.
And these sturdy pink bookcases were a good price at $40 each. All they need is a coat of paint…I can see these in black, can’t you?!So, are you dying to see what I got this week? It was definitely a garden theme this week:
This first one was actually from a couple of weeks ago that I didn’t show you, a ceramic birdhouse for $2. It’s a lovely aqua blue color, which seems to be a recurring theme with me lately.
There’s the birdbath that came from Grandma’s house. I’m going to use some outdoor paint & give it a faux finish to age it a bit. I picked up these 2 rusty garden topiaries, $3 for both. I love finding garden things out there to add to our yard. Not sure where these will go yet, but I can use them in a planter too.
This little iron birdbath was $5. I’ll probably put it over on the baker’s rack. I’m painting that rack and teacart aqua, gotta pick up some spray paint this week!
Here’s our newly rebuilt gate. Our very kind neighbors came over and built the gate back that was demolished when that big tree fell down. You can see we reused lots of the old pieces and had to add in a few new wood pieces. Thank the Lord for good neighbors, we would never have been able to do it ourselves. I had a concrete welcome sign that got broken in the fall, so I found this pretty little Welcome bunny for $2.
I just love him!
Still collecting things for the black/white room redo, I found these really nice chunky wood lamps, $7 for the pair. They need a good cleaning and then I’ve got some fun plans for them. I’m thinking about putting a black damask stencil on them, gotta play around with that. And I may add some black shades or maybe even some funky black/white fabric shades (damask or zebra?!), since I can cover my own very easily. We’ll see how inspired I get. I’m letting this room just come together as it will. I’ve got a few things put together already that I’ll show you soon and of course, I’m trying to do it without breaking the bank!
With my love of all things black/white, I can hardly pass up clothes either. This cute skirt was $2 and the brand name, Molly & Maxx (which I’ve never heard of). It fits perfectly and I’m really digging the elastic waist these days. 🙂 
And last, you all should know about my obsession with bunnies by now. He was TOO adorable to pass up at $5 AND he passed the really special bunny test. Only really, really special bunnies can come home with me these days. This little guy stands 11″ high. It’s amazing, I have hit several yardsales this summer who are obviously bunny collectors too, so I’m definitely not the only one out there.Hope you enjoyed going yardsaling with me this week!
Don't Miss a Post, join my list!
As usual, I want to go shopping with you!! Great finds! 🙂

Duncan Phyfe is one of my all time favorite makers of furniture. My mother had a buffet I was lucky enough to get. And years back I found a table at the Goodwill, for $25.00. It needs a bit of leg work, but the table top is in excellent condition.
Wonderful yard sales. I would love to have someone near me that like to do these, alas I do not.

Great finds. I am crazy about your bunny! So sweet!
hi Rhoda
now I would like to come saling with you, in real life
love all of your finds, next week I’m may take some pics on my rounds, I don’t know about you but there sure are a heap of things out there that ya wouldn’t want too lol!
I am looking for lamp bases just like that, though of course I won’t be painting mine black so they woulda been perfect for the cottage and at $7 a no brainer, that’s why I love thriting heehee, a great little secret
love the bird feeder, I’m looking out for one for the cottage garden
see ya, off on the school run and a real flying thrift store visit!!

Your garden pieces are just perfect. Especially that bunny welcome sign. I swear, if I find a super special bunny, I’m sending it to you. 🙂
Wow you found a lot of great stuff. You always seem to find great clothing items too that has to be fun.
blessings,

Rhoda I love going shopping with you! I wish I could actually buy something. lol! That Duncan Phyfe set was a great price. I love your bunny. It would pass my very special bunny test too.
Oh Rhoda…Can I tell you that I’m nearly in tears looking at this post. I have been on the hunt for a DP table, chairs and buffet all summer. I already have a DP china cabinet.
At $400 I would have snapped that baby up so fast your head would be spinning. You would have seen me running down the street squeeeeeeeeeling with chairs balanced on my head! Yeah. I’m a drama queen like that.
I’ve found several sets but each time something wasn’t quite right. Oh well. I guess it wasn’t meant to be this year. Maybe next year. 🙂
More great finds! I’m hoping this weekend there will be som good sales.
