Some Cheap Thrills

Happy Friday!

It's another nice, cool, fallish kinda day today in Ohio.  It's a little overcast but it's not raining so it's just fine. I got up & took the kiddo to school & decided since my hubby had left $10 on the dresser it was a sign I should find me some yard sales.  I'm very happy I did . 

 Just look at all the stuff I got for $7 ~ plus I got Cody 4 pairs of jeans & 2 shirts! Whoo hoo!!

~look I found a couple pumpkins & some leaves~

~ the big thing in the back is a peg rack type thing - i think it'll be really cute repainted~

~my favorite thing from today ~ this little pitcher for .25 cents ~ it's definitely old -the paint is all crackled looking -i'm not sure what the stamp says but it's made in the USA~

~ $1 enamelware pot -it's nice & big -not old but very cool~

~closeup of the lil brown crock for .25 cents~

~closeup of the scoop-it'll be very prim after a paint job-it had 2 potholders inside so i didn't even know it said "our daily bread" on it - .25cents~

It still amazes me after all these years of bargain shopping & yard sailing how good a bargain can make you feel.  I'm like a giddy school girl now! lol  I'm so thankful that my mom & grandma have always loved a good bargain. People who don't yard sale or thrift shop are missing out!!

Well I'm off to do the dishes so it looks like I accomplished something today besides bringing home more junk.  Hope everyone has a great day!



Just one more .... please!

Happy Friday!!!  It's a little gloomy here in Ohio today but it's pretty warm so that makes up for it.  We are supposed to get some severe weather later today but I hope it turns out to be nothin much.  I'm a big weenie & can't stand storms! LOL!
Anyways.... the day started out Innocent enough...took my son to school, drove thru the neighborhood scopin out trash day, then off to the post office. Well the post office didn't open for 10 minutes, so me & my niece (she's 3) decided we'd find us 1 (only 1!) yard sale and then go back to the post office.  Well only 1 turned into about 10 or 12 and a whole car load of stuff!!! I hit this one yard sale and I thought I was going to die! There was all kinds of primitive/country decor....I couldn't get it scooped up fast enough it seemed! Everything was very cheap - got 3 sets of tan/black plaid curtains for $2.25!! I've already hung them up!lol... I bought a big jar with a lid for 50 cents but as I was leaving a woman offered me $5 for it so I sold it to her! I liked it but didn't know where I would put it, so I let it go and made some extra $$ for the next sale! It was crazy! I spent $11.50 there + $5 I made...so only a whopping $6.50...pretty good I think! :) All & all we turned our 10 minutes into an hour and a half and $22 but we're both very amused so that's all that's important anyways!

Here's a few pics of my stuff....

I hung the pineapple up in the kitchen and the other pair of scones is going to go in the living room

 the Americana thing i got for my sister











I'm totally in LOVE with these curtains! I thought there were 4 pairs but turned out to be only 3 but it was still a great deal!

this whole pile of 8 puzzles was only $2! they look pretty old

everything in this pic was only 50 cents each!  I'm going to give my sister one of the double baskets
















I just realized I bought 5 candle holder/sconces today! Oh well! I like them all!  I hope everyone has a great weekend! I'm looking forward to spending time with my family and maybe sneak a few more sales in too!

Happy Mothers Day!
