Jeff, Nina and I went to quite a few yard sales Saturday. We saw lots of junk but we did find a few treasures. I did not get pictures of Nina's things but she got a few baby things, a mirror/planter box she hung in their entryway, a closet organizer and dry-erase magnetic calendar bulletin board.
Our 3 biggest purchases were all from one seller - some newlyweds, just graduating from OSU - who will be moving to Poland to work as missionaries in a coffee shop. They were selling off most all of their possessions. These first 3 things are from them.
3 large glass storage jars, $5 for all 3
I've been using some not so pretty Tupperware for my baking canisters, now I will be switching them to these pretty glass jars.
a very heavy glass, and very pretty bathroom set for $5
Jeff has been wanting a dock for his Ipod and was very happy to buy this one for $10
It works great and he says the new ones sell for $99 at Walmart
2 nice wood puzzles for when Gavin and baby E are both a little bigger - $1 each
Discovery Toy Boomering links - $2
hula girl shirt bought for 25 cents, not for the shirt but I like the fabric and plan on cutting it up, then sewing it in to some other project
He is not from a yard sale, but he was a rescue puppy. This is Fletch, one of our "grand-dogs" and he is spending the night with us. Isn't it amazing how he sits upright on his bottom?

You have some great finds there! The canisters and bathroom set would most certainly have come home with me, too! :)
ReplyDeleteRhonda, Love the glass jars!!!! I think our town is having one the last of May or first of June so hope to get thru our garage and shed and take stuff. Then what doesn't sell will go straight to Goodwill.
ReplyDeleteI love the title of your blog. So true!!!! :) You found some great things. I especially like the glass canisters.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you found a dock for $10. Times are changing when you can find docks instead of old CD players. I could use one in every room.
ReplyDeleteI love the big glass jars! good finds!
ReplyDeleteI, too, love the large glass jars! You got a great deal on them. :)
ReplyDeleteWow you found some great stuff. I love those glass jars. I have a set of three, but I didn't pay $5 for mine. Awesome deal!
ReplyDeleteLovin' that bathroom set and those cute glass storage jars! Come by and show off all your finds at my NIFTY THRIFTY TUESDAYS PARTY...hope to see you there:)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Linda
Great jars!!
ReplyDeleteThose are some great deals! I love those glass jars and bathroom accents!
ReplyDeleteLove your big jars!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds and kudos for your rescue granddog. Rescues make the best pets!
ReplyDeleteHi Rhonda,
ReplyDeleteHope you are well!
I have been admiring your finds lately - love the glass jars and the pyrex dishes. We have terrible yard sales where I live. I miss finding such good deals, but perhaps it's a good thing as it could be dangerous for me. :)
Oh, I bought a new glass jar recently at WM for home-baked goodies and it was over $5 and change just for one jar. Not a bad price, but I like your deal better. :)
ReplyDeletelove the glass canisters. I also have Rubbermaid ones for baking and would love glass, but I am a little worried my kids would break them.
ReplyDeleteI love the shirt. And yes it would become a pillow or two if I had it. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow. Those are some great deals! And your grand-dog is just too cute!
