This is a post I did on Saturday of my "Thrifty Treasure" finds and wanted to share on Rhoda's "Today's Thrifty Treasures". Stop by Southern Hospitality and see the Thrifty Treasures everyone else found!
What a day! My son Tyler and I had so much fun!! We arrived at "Idaho's Largest Yard Sale" a little after 7 am, ready for the hunt. I have to tell you, it was not the "largest" yard sale, but it still had some treasures to be found. I had a list of furniture pieces I wanted and decided to look for them first. The 4th booth I spotted, had just what I was looking for. Unfortunately on closer inspection, all of her furniture already had "SOLD" signs on them. And this was just after opening!! One woman told me that the people participating in this sale were allowed to shop around the other booths before they opened to the public. (Note to self...participate in the sale next year LOL). Tyler had gone in search of his own treasures...knives, swords, etc. (it's a guy thing, I guess) while I went from booth to booth, not wanting to miss anything. I had some lovely chats with people and did manage to find some bargains:
16x20 gold frame in mint condition $2, 5x7 gold frame $1, topiary picture w/black frame $1, basket picture $1, rooster $1, needlepoint in ornate frame 75 cents.
Close up of needlepoint and rooster. I love both of these little treasures!
Fruit basket $2, planter $1, white jars (that are perfect for my bathroom) and "family" blocks $3
Two sets of dinner plates, 4 green and 4 red $5. I love the square shape of them.
After shopping for a couple of hours, we had lunch and then went to a Sporting Good store that is going out of business and I purchased a 10' x 10' "pop up" canopy for $60 regularly $149. Yeah! I have been wanting one for a couple of years, but didn't want to spend a lot.
Hope you had a wonderful thrift filled Saturday.
Until later

Hello! I saw where you commented on my post. Just wanted to say THANKS! ;) I love that needlepoint. What are your plans with it??? I hope you post a pic when you find the right spot for it. I am needing some help on finding a good spot for a neeldepoint by my greatgrandmother. Of course it really doesn't "go" with my house, but it is something that grandmother's planning on giving me and I want to find a special spot for it. It is of a boxer dog- I know, funny. BUT, that is the "breed of choice" in our family and has been for generations!! So I guess it is pretty important to my grandmother as well. Anyhoo, thanks for stopping by and I'll be checking in with ya! Andi
ReplyDeleteToni thank you for commenting on my blog! That was my first post. I have a private family blog that I post my frugal finds and redos on but I wanted a public blog to share the fun! I grew up in a small town in Idaho. It will always be home to me. I love the white rooster. I have been looking for a white rooster for a looong time. You really scored some great treasures. I will visit you again soon and plan to share more fun finds over at Southern Hospitality!!!
ReplyDeleteYou found some goodies!! Love the little needlepoint, rooster and white jars! Thanks so much for visiting my nest and lakehouse...BTW I don't mind a bit. Come back soon and I'll show you some more treasures that have been found while thrifting! Blessings!

Just wanted to thank you for stopping "too Blessed to Stress: earlier this week. I appreciate you taking time to come by and comment. I think we should start a support group for Basket-a-Holics like us.
"Hello, my name is Emily, and I have a Basket Loving problem" haha!
Well, thanks again, and I look forward to seeing you soon at "too Blessed to Stress." I'll be back to see more of your lovely finds :)
Blessings, Emily
