I’ve got some fun yardsale things to share with you today, but before we get started on that, here’s a bit of news from Birmingham. If you live here, you might want to listen up on this one. I wrote a blog post just over a year ago about a wonderful shop in Homewood called The Brown House. Charles, the owner of the shop just emailed me thanking me for my post and telling me that he has decided to close the shop and everything is on clearance for 30-80% off! Well, you know how I love a sale. He wrote specifically to tell me about the white English ironstone that I featured on my blog and thought I might like to know. So, today I’ll be stopping by The Brown House for a look-see. And I just knew that some of you Birmingham girls would like to check it out too. Hope you will get by there and see The Brown House before he closes the doors as it’s well worth seeing!
Well, the yardsale season is starting out great, once again. It seems I’m never disappointed. One recent Saturday, the sales were abundant and I really got some great stuff. Got several things from my blog friend, the one I did the dish swap with and she had so many great things (thanks, Carol!), I just had to bring home more. These Pottery Barn candlesticks were $1 each. How can you leave behind something this pretty for so little $$? They are glass and nice and tall.
Old chippy wood frame was also $1.
I decided to add it to another old frame I had up here already and lean it on top of my antique mirror.
And I quite like it up there.
Aqua vase was $2
Aqua throw, perfect for the beachy guestroom was $5.
2 aqua/brown balls were 25 cents each.
I hit 2 neighborhood sales on the same day and found this birdbath at one house for $4. I love garden things and this one was too cute to pass up.
This solid wood little side table was $5. Someone really had no vision with this one, maybe it came from a little girl’s room, but PINK?! I’m going to change this out in my beachy guestroom for a side table since the other one in there is not as nice as this one. This one is chunkier and has more character. Anyone local want to buy the old table? I’ll give you a deal.
One can of Krylon (from Walmart) Blue Ocean Breeze later, and it’s ready to go back to the beachy guestroom.
Here’s the old table in case you’re interested. It’s cute too!
Birdhouse for 50 cents.
White pitcher for $1.
White Pear 50 cents.
Set of 6 nice cloth napkins for $2.
And a pretty shell necklace for $1.
Not bad at all. I just love shopping this way, but I do have to slow it down on bringing more home! Did you find any treasures lately?
If you haven’t seen it yet, don’t miss the giveaway on my Review Blog! it will be going on until next Wednesday and you don’t want to miss it.
And head over to Alchemy Fine Living for a fun giveaway too. She has some great handmade items up for grabs.
Rhoda, I wish I did half as well as you! The bird bath was a steal! You found some great things once again! Mary
Fantastic buys! Keep up the good work….Betty
Girl, you always hit the jackpot with your yard-saling!
It saddens me that so many family-owned businesses are going under.
Have a blessed Easter!
You did good girl! I’ve been finding good stuff too. Love that little bird house – can I buy it from you? I actually like the pink table, but I like what you did with it better! I’ll be at the Brown House on Saturday morning! I’m meeting someone from Craiglist to pick up a bedskirt I’m going to use for my “new” living room drapes! Can’t wait to see what’s “in store” at Brown’s!
It’s timee like this that I wish I could twitch my nose like Samantha swoop in and grab your little table…slip into Brown’s and still be home in time for dinner !!! 🙂
Happy Easter Rhoda,
xo Kathy 🙂
wow, you did well!!! I love all of it!
Wow! You did good!!!! :)I especially love the makeover on the pink table…awesome. I’ve never used spray paint on a piece of furniture. How many coats did you have to do with that one can?
You found such pretty lovelies!! I haven’t gotten to start looking at the yard sales here yet, but you have really motivated me!! 🙂
I am simply going to have to start going to garage sales!
I am so ready for Garage Sale season !~ you scored !!! Hugs~ Kammy
Great finds, Rhoda! Love the table.
I have the very same candlesticks from pottery barn. Let me know if you don’t have a place for those!
I can’t believe how you find these things!
~on the other hand layzing in my bed on Saturday mornings isn’t as productive.
Hi Rhoda,
You did get some great buys…everything looks so classy and just like new. Love the new table!
Thanks for sharing,
Diane
Your yard sales are great and CHEAP! I love everything you found.
Ooooh, Rhoda, those are great buys. I think I have to move to the USA after all, if only for the yard sales. 😉
Have a lovely Easter weekend!
Cheers,
the German gal
Great finds Rhoda! And I know they are happy to go home with YOU!!
I hope you and Peter have a wonderful Easter!
Love,
Me
I love, love, love your many finds. How I wish I lived in Alabama so we could yard sale together. Clearly I could learn a few things from you!!!
Great buys! love the little bird house, and the chipped frame looks great!
You did great at the yard sales, I never have good luck with them, I am jealous…
I am so drooling over your new chippy frame. Gorgeous!
