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.

The day I was sith you was my first time there. Newly discovered for me. I hate that!I too collect ironstone so will have to take a look!
I posted today on my blog about your giveaway. Its a good giveaway, Rhoda.
You did awesome with your garage sales! I am going to have one soon. I have all my stuff….now gotta pick a date. I LOVE the old frame you found. It is fabulous and looks great on the mirror.
Hope you are good! Have a wonderful and blessed Easter, Rhoda.

Songbirdtiff says
Beautiful finds! That white pitcher would be just perfect with a big bouquet of flowers. Or, I supposed, you could actually use it for it’s intended purpose but who does that?

Darlene says

Have a great day!♥

Darlene - Our Creative Life says
You always seem to find great stuff! Do you have any certain strategy when choosing which garage sales to attend?? I have been trying to look up the home value and if it is over $200,000 then I go to it. I may be missing alot of good stuff at the other homes though.
Glenda/MidSouth says
You did good! Great things for little money.

Fenima says
Your the best at yard selling finds, I love all you got especially that $5 pink side table.
Susan says
I wish our garage sales were going like that. Living in northern Illinois it’s still a little cold! You have got some great stuff for the money!
Jenny says
Great finds! I love that table you painted.
Joanna says
What great finds…Oh I would so go, but we of course don’t live there anymore. I don’t have one piece of those white dishes and would love to! Oh well, maybe I’ll get lucky one of these days!
Elizabeth (blue clear sky) says
WOW WOW, I am hoping to find half as much great stuff when our yardsales start up here soon. Great prices too! Lucky you!
Melissa @ The Inspired Room says
Wow, you know, I do not think our garage sales start this early around here! We never have as many neat things at sales. But, since I am in a new area, I’m going to hold out hope that THIS area will be different, even though I am still in the NW!
Easter Blessings,
Melissa
