On Friday, we took the 6 hour drive to our home at Lake Seminole. We'll be here for a couple of weeks probably. Then it's back home to go with my daughter to a conference for her new job. (She was promoted to Curriculum Director/Grades 6-12) for our school system. The conference will be at Jekyll Island, and will be a mini vacation for our little beach lover, Rheagan.
There are few yard sales here at the lake, but I noticed a sign yesterday as we arrived, that there would be a "gigantic" one today. So I headed out this morning to see what I could find. It was a neat sale, held in a vacant home... vacant of people, full of stuff!! Clothes filled three rooms, all sorted by size. I didn't go through the clothing though, just the 'doo-dads'! There were lots of dishes, books, dvd's, cd's etc. Y'all know what a big spender I am. I spent $3.00!! Here's what came home with me.
This cute floral arrangement was a dollar. It has large roses, and rose buds that look so genuine. The vase is about the size of a 20 oz cup, and is shaped like one, but is terra cotta, covered with a striped design.
I knew I could find a spot for it since the flowers were clean and in good condition.
Isn't this a cute little bench? Red, white and blue with stars. I think I may take the raffia bow off. ($1.00) The little fairy was free. It had a broken wing, but I thought I may take it home and put it in the fairy garden.
On the way back home, I stopped at Dollar General and found an awesome deal. They had a cart out front filled with pictures, all half price. I had been needing a larger picture to go above the t.v., so I bought this for $6.00.
I like the pop of color it adds to the tall narrow wall behind the t.v. The blue and white Currier & Ives plates were moved from this spot to the area above the stove.
I'll be linking up at some wonderful parties this week, so stop by for some great fun!!

I bought the other three items especially for a table on the front porch.
The pink flower is a metal candle (taper) holder ($1.00).
A pot of fresh peas cooking on the stove. Yummmmmmm!!!!
Well....that's all folks!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, you did good! What a cute little floral arrangement you found! Yum, those fresh peas sound so good! I'll make some cornbread and be right over! :)
ReplyDeleteI think I spy some Currier and Ives plates hanging about your stove! :)
Be a swetie,

You sure found the bargains again Kathy! The little bench is great, though yes I do believe it'd be better without the bow :o)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely time at the lake.

Don't you love bargain shopping! Looks like you came home with some great finds… Hope you had a great weekend, thanks for stopping by, Laura
ReplyDeleteHow fun!!! Looks like you got some goodies!
ReplyDeleteI'm right behind you on the yard sales. You've found some great things. I was fortunate to go on a 400 Mile yard sale a couple of weeks ago. I've posted some pics on my blog if you'd like to take a peak.
ReplyDeleteYou sure had yourself a great bargain hunting day! Those flowers are so pretty sitting next to that lovely lamp. It's always so much fun finding new spots to display our treasures. Very nice:-)
