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 you have a discerning eye and have found some real beauties, I love the bird bath and what a deal.Kathysue
Not only did you find amazing things.. you got them for an amazing price! That frame for $1??? That pink table for $5??? Be still my beating heart. California garage/yard sales just can’t compete. Sigh.
Fell in love with so many of your photos, I can’t even choose a favorite! Maybe the glass candle holders …….. Happy Easter.
I am a Birmingham native! I live right outside of Auburn now. I hope I have as good of luck “yard selling” as you do. I wrote about you in one of my post’s today. You give me such great idea’s! Thanks

You put us to shame!! What great finds–I thinkeverybody keeps their good stuff here 🙂 Happy Easter!
You never cease to amaze me! If I am ever in Birmingham during yard sale season I am so going to get a hold of you and make you take me with you. 🙂 Great finds.
Hope you have a Happy Easter!

I am a sucker for old frames chippy and all. I love the one you got. Only $1- hard to believe. I found one at the Antique Fair and paid $25-. You are lucky. Love how you displayed it too.

* DEAREST RHODA~ Well, looks like WE'LL SOON BE NEIGHBORS, girlfriend!!! Yep, for sure!!!~~~ I've gotta get OUT of the Tucson area… I used to LOVE garage sales & flea markets (especially in EUrope!), but NEVER go anymore because here, in the TUCSON AREA, the only thing one finds are THE FLEAS!!!! Sooooo, when I/we (and the moving trucks) arrive, MY JIM can take care of things, while I take US out to lunch n' flea marketing, ok????? THANKS for sharing these FINDS!!!!!! Hugs, Linda/ "RMS "Mom…", as you know!)
What treasures!
Sure can tell you don’t live in earthquake country. I saw the pic of the frames propped on top of the mirror and I gasped. Knee jerk reaction. I love the look though.
Wow, you did great, girl! Love it all! Especially the table.
Great buys, wish I lived near you I love your “old” table and thanks for sharing the name of the paint. I’m off to Wallworld to buy the spray paint.
Thanks for sharing.
I REALLY need that birdbath!! Your finds are amazing! Happy Easter!
Hugs,
Susan
What great finds. I really LOVE the chippy old frame!

Great finds girl!! I love having a great yard sale day. And you most certainly had one!
Wow! Awesome deals! I really like the white pitcher and the pear. Very pretty!
Sincerely,
Sandra
I so wish I would have been shopping with you! What fun! Keep up the good work and keep us posted.
Hi, Rhoda –
Wow, did you ever find some treasures! I love the birdbath. I need to replace the one I found years ago at a garage sale so I’m hoping I’ll find one this year. And each of your finds was just too good to pass up. Thanks for your help finding my WLW – my ‘lost’ post is up and running today!
