Thrifty Treasures at "Salbayshun Army"

What time is it?

It's Thrifty Treasures time!

If you enjoy finding treasures at a bargain, you will love Rhoda's party over at Southern Hospitality. I've seen a little video over at my bloggy friend Susie's spot, and you can be sure that she, Rhoda, and Layla found some great stuff over the weekend at The Longest Yard Sale. I'd love to go to The Longest Yard Sale, but my girls can barely handle two yard sales, much less hundreds of miles of yard sales.

Since I couldn't go to The Longest Yard Sale, I decided to venture out with Natalie (3) and Michaela Byrd (19 m) on Saturday morning. T had to be at work, and nothing was open yet (not even the pool!), so what better way to pass an hour or so with two bored bebes?

The yard sales were bust, but Natalie managed to snag a Barbie (I think it's supposed to be one of Barbie's little sisters...she's smaller than a Skipper) for twenty-five cents. Andrea, as she is now called, has two mismatched shoes, but Natalie finds that eclectic fashion sense charming.

Natalie actually asked me if we could hit "Salbayshun Army" to look for a new movie. I'm always up for a trip to "Salbayshun Army," and it doesn't hurt that it's just a few miles from home. We picked up an Arthur movie and an old copy of Cinderella, starring Ginger Rogers, both on VHS. $1.00 for both.

This little ceramic urn is just a bit smaller than my hand, and I think it will look so cute dressed up for Fall. Doesn't need any spray paint or anything, yay! $1.50
I've been on the lookout for some new mixing bowls, and this stainless steel one is in great condition, and pretty big! $1.00

Love this platter! I don't know if it's silver plated, stainless, or what, but I liked the lines. It will be cleaned up. I'm thinking chalkboard paint?? $1.00

How about you? Find any good bargains this weekend?

Please don't forget about my Decorating Dilemmas party this Wednesday! I will most likely have the link up on Tuesday night around 10pm ET.

To get the details on my first blog party, please read here. It's basically going to be a spot where you can link up any kind of project you'd like some input on (home interior, exterior, organization, crafty stuff, before and afters, your solutions to dilemmas, etc.).

If everyone has a good time, I might just do this once a month. I have enough "dilemmas" around here to last for quite a few posts! It's so nice to have ideas and feedback from bloggy friends, isn't it?

I'd love to have you join the party, and remember there will be a prize/Giveaway for participants!

and

and maybe another little somethin' if I get myself in gear

This is a great opportunity for anyone out there to link up their posts with projects they'd like feedback on, or share a solution they've found for their decorating issues. Grab my party "button" here or on the sidebar (I know it's not a real button...made it myself, and I am not a techie!!!). For details, you can click the "party" link above.

Until then...

{Happy Thrifting!}
