It's back.......!!



Rhoda's "Today's Thrifty Treasures" that is!! I almost missed it! I have been so busy moving and taking care of my son after his surgery, which he is doing very well. A big and heartfelt "Thank You" for all of your prayers. I have been so afraid to leave him, that I have been in this house for 3 weeks. Finally, he told me, "Mom, I'm fine, you don't have to stay here". So I ventured out for about 20 minutes to a yard sale just around the corner from me. And just look at the treasures I found!




This beautiful vintage laundry basket. It's in great condition and will look so good in my laundry/mudroom.









Here's another photo of it. I am so loving this piece and the price was a steal. (Really)







I was so happy to pick up this next little item, a vintage receipt holder, I love the numbers, and excited to see that Junk Girl over at Junk Fest had one too. She had some great ideas on uses for my new treasure.






I don't know what it is about these old barn lights, but I love them. This one was a really great deal and I was told that they have another one and I could have that one also. I love the color and can see them both over my new kitchen island I just created out of a vintage dresser. (That's another post).








Well, that was all I was able to pick up this week. But it is starting to look better as the weather warms, the yard sales are beginning and I can hardly wait to get some "Junkin'" on.


Stop over at Rhoda's at Southern Hospitality and see everyone's Thrifty Treasures.

Until Later,
