Of course, I found a couple of keepers this weekend…how could I not? This aqua old bottle was $2 & looks very much at home here in the den entertainment center.
This cute little bunny needlepoint pillow was $2 & I’m keeping him! With my love of bunnies, he is a welcome little addition to our house. Right now he is sitting on a guestroom bed.
This pic doesn’t do this dress justice, but it’s the cutest little linen turquoise dress(matches my eyes!) for $3. Pretty embroidered flowers on the bottom hem. And I wore it to church on Sunday.
And, one more little piece of creamware for my collection, $3.00, a little soup or gravy tureen. Here are the rules:
*Link to the name of the person that tagged you
*Include state and country you live in
*List top 5 favorite local restaurants
*Tag 5 other people and let them know they’ve been tagged
1. Jim & Nicks BBQ – We go to the Hwy. 280 location & it is the best BBQ in town, as far as we’re concerned. I always get the same thing…chopped pork plate with homemade french fries, coleslaw & the best cheese muffins you’ve ever put in your mouth! YUM…it’s good! B’ham is known for it’s BBQ, which I did not know until we moved here.
2. Giuseppe’s Cafe – 925 Eight St. South From City Scene: “If Grandma’s Italian cooking is what you’re after, head to Giuseppe’s, which specializes in pizza, pasta and friendly service.” We visited here for lunch one day. It’s right off I-65, sort of in a neighborhood, & the food was really very good. Have only been there once, but we’d go again. Very casual, but good Italian fare.
3. Classic Joe’s – This place is close to our home & we used to go there quite a bit last summer when my hubby’s son was working there. It’s more of an upscale (but not extremely so) kind of place, with good American food done very well. There’s a big oak tree out front with a huge deck built around it & they have live music on the weekends. Great place to sit & chill. The vanilla bread pudding is to die for!!
4. The Fish Market – I have to include this wonderful place too, even though it’s on Sandi’s list also. I had never seen a fish restaurant quite like this one until we came over here. My hubby loves this place & couldn’t wait for us to go there & again, we are hooked. There’s a new location out in our neck of the woods & that’s the one we frequent. Wonderful fresh seafood, family friendly, & great prices too!
5. Edgar’s Bakery & Cafe – I met some friends here for lunch a few weeks ago & was pleasantly surprised at what a great lunch menu they have. We got there early & it’s a good thing, because lots of folks showed up for lunch. You can also 
grab something from the bakery on your way out the door. The baked goods will make you drool just looking at them through the glass! I have heard that this place has been around forever & they are known as THE bakery around here.
Oh – those are great finds! I love the bunny pillow and your creamware collection is really growing….uhh – time for a bigger display shelf!
Wonderful finds Rhoda! I adore the tureen and, of course, the bunny pillow!!
Someone beat me to the black and white garden piece and the yellow vase (Kim maybe? *smile*)…YOu always have such sweet things! Loved that dear painting too!
I keep checking!
One of these days I will be quick enough!
Love the restaurant meme. I have not been to Birmingham in a few years but, if we return, I will check out your picks!
Hugs,

for special occaisons, try The Highlands Bar and Grill – very upscale and the jack Daniels ice Cream is to die for!!
That bunny pillow is so perfect for your home. Very Cute! It’s great that you keep finding those wonderful creamware pieces for your collection!
We got Jim & Nicks not too far from us last year. It’s always packed!

Hi rhoda,
Thanks for visiting my blog and for the nice comment. Yours is definitely one of my favorite stops but right now I’m green with envy. That creamware soup tureen is heavenly. Oh how I wish I could tag along on one of your thrifting trips!! I promise I wouldn’t trip you to get at the good stuff before you!! LOL
Have a great week,
Linda
Rhoda,you really picked up some great finds this weekend!! I love the bunny pillow of course and the tureen and bottle are great finds too! Okay….I’m off to see if I *need* anything from your store :o)

I am so jealous! You got some great things! Anytime I have ever ventured to a yard sale, they have had nothing but junk~ stuff that should have gone to the dump in my opinion!
I would love, love, love to lunch at Edgars! They are truly a Southern landmark!
More nifty things Rhoda!
Your restaurant places all look like great places!
I too, keep checking in at the store!!

Rhoda,
Good finds, I love the cute bunny pillow with the picket fence and blue sky. That little dress will be adorable on you.
I’m going to skip the meme since we don’t eat out that much either but I think it’s a cute one and hope that some one in my area does one since we are relatively new here too.
Sue
I love your finds!!
Looks like you have some great eateries in your town.
Rosemary
Wow…you got some great things! Love the little bunny pillow and the soup/gravy tureen.
Next time we’re in Birmingham we’ll have to try some of the restaurants you mentioned. They all sound delightful!
Love your little needlepoint Bunny pillow – a great find & great price! Love the restaurant meme – I just did an “8 random things meme” :-}
I love your finds, Rhoda! (that bunny pillow would have been calling my name if you’d sold it ;). I’m glad that you’re finding some fun things of your own, too!
I’ll do a restaurant tag on my next post, too…that was fun!
You certainly got a few bargains at the sale! So we have the same lamps love bunnies and display shells in our home..more similarities!hugs NG
Great finds again. You go girl!
Love your list! We love Jim & Nicks and are happy we have one here too.
Hugs!
