Thriftin Sunday ~


Happy Sunday my friends ~

Today is a gloriously sunny day.  Mr. Vintage and I went to a yard sale ~


I picked up this little milk glass vase for 10 cents.  Sooo I had to put some lilacs in it.  I LOVE the smell ~ don't  you?


My next door neighbour has white ones.  I asked if I could pick some ;-)



I put these ones at the front door.  Nothing like a bouquet of lilacs that says "welcome".


I saw this and just had to have it.  It was cheap cheap cheap.  All the things that I am about to show you cost a total of $10.00.  I won't show you the tools that Mr. Vintage picked up which was included in the price ~ Mr. Vintage can start his own blog about "tools".  tee hee, that would be funny

I put my vintage umbrellas and walking sticks in the crock by the front door.


I bought two of these little chairs.  Now, I have to put some flowers on it.  Perfect ~


The other one is in my kitchen.  They are so sweet ~ I couldn't resist.


This little table cloth was in pristine condition, I just had to have it.


Everyone needs a flower frog or two ;-)


This little metal stool was perfect for my oversized jar in the kitchen.

Well, that was one great yard sale.  We had fun ~

Now, Mr. Vintage is waiting for me.  He wants to take me to a new antique store ~ yeeeee ~ I am squealing with delight.

What are you doing today?

((((Hugs))))

  2. Alas, my lilacs have come and gone. We had very early warm weather in Missouri. What a terrific vintage haul! The Rock Star and I went to a City-wide garage sale yesterday. I'm just learning the ropes, but I managed to find two cute little curio shelves and a tulip magazine rack for less $20 total. I'm pretty stoked about that! Now I hope to find a venue for all my vintage and handcrafted goodies. I sell on Etsy but I'd love to find a cute antique and gift mall to sell in. Hope the rest of your day is as happy as the morning has been! Blessings, Linda

  3. WOW! What a wonderful vase and of course I love that little red chair! Looks like Spring is bringing some good sales! I'm relaxing today and baking a birthday cake for my mother in law! I can't eat any because of the sugar but it sure is making the house smell good! Hugs!
