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!
I love it that you see beauty in someone else’s “junk” (or at least, their cast offs.)
Boy, I wish I had been shopping with you… we need a dresser for our daughter’s room in a terrible way, and $35 would be the perfect price! I’m going to pray for one of those in my area of Nashville! 🙂
Love the garden treasures, and that bunny is too cute! Karla was bummed she missed the flea market today. (we had a suprise birthday party for her.)
Happy Sunday!
Karla & Karrie
Rhoda,
I wish you lived closer because I keep looking at the aqua spray paint and would gladly give it to you to use! I ended up with more than I needed when the typical scenario would be to run out.
That is a very good price on that dining room set as it looked to be in good condition. Can’t believe it had other pieces that went with it for that price. You find the best things!
And I like your new lamps, skirt, and bunny. Good finds.
Happy Sunday,
Sheila… who got a new computer and is a hap, hap, happy, smiley-faced camper! 😀
I’m anxious to see how the aqua stuff turns out…and how those lamps come together…HURRY UP WOMAN WE’RE WAITING! Have a great day! now get to work!
I love that your bunny passed the “really special bunny test”! Too cute. I would’ve loved to have had that dining room set when I was first married. You definitely have THE best yardsales, ever. 🙂
What great finds! My mom has that same table in her basement. I’ve been eyeing it 🙂
Looks like a weekend full of fun and treasures! Were you able to find the sea glass paint so you could finish your project? I’ll be looking to see the finished product.
That was fun! I wish I lived near a big city to go yardshopping in.-Lorie
I have an award for you on my blog. Check it out when you can.-Lorie.

Oh, I haven’t posted my yard sale find in a while. I just love that you took the camera with you for things that you didn’t by. That is a true blogger.
And Redeeming Love? You had NOT read that…definitely one of my favs. She is just an amazing writer.
Rhoda, as usual, you did great!!! I love that aqua bird house. Beautiful.
I love all of your bunnies…especially that one you got a few weeks ago with the aqua bowl 🙂
Bella

Just wanted to stop by and tell you thank you for all of your prayers for us and all the nice comments you made on my blog. Yeah – Ike is gone! Now we just have to clean up after him!
Hi Rhoda,
Love all of your yard sale finds!
Great treasures!

Donna
Great fun finds! That last bunny would pass my test too!
I need to come yard saleing with you. I posted about Redeeming Love last week. It was wonderful! I also started a Beth Moore study last week. Jackie
You are too cute!
I’ve missed yardsaling with you. 😉
I vote for damask. I am just in love with it lately. That and aqua. YUM!!
