Weekend Thrifty Finds

Shopping was fruitful for my daughter and I on Saturday. We intended to just hit a few sales in her small town and then head into Olympia to do some serious shopping. Fortunately for us the second sale we hit was one of those rare sales where everything was cute, high quality, reasonably priced and plenty of bargains. The find of the day was found by Maria. She found an entire Christmas village for 25.00. We figured if you bought each piece individually it would cost over 200.00. (sorry, I forgot to take a picture of it). Pictured below are the treasures I found:

11 red and green charger plates.... $2.00

Three cute Christmas plates......... .25 each

Pretty picture (I will probably paint the frame)..... $5.00


Lamp for my bedroom that will be getting a makeover.... $5.00

Eight reversible placemats..... $1.00

Childs rocking chair....$5.00 {This will be getting a coat of paint and some vinyl lettering on it}

Magazine holder..... $3.00 {The lady wouldn't budge on the price}

Cute bench waiting for a makeover....... $5.00

Ceramic vegetable dish...... .50

Soup tureen, brand new, still in the box... $5.00

Bargain of the day......FREE!!!

I know she looks a bit frazzled but the picture doesn't do it justice. The lady from the awesome sale said she paid $75.00 for it but got tired of it sitting in her garage 11 months out of the year so she said I could have it...I did a little jiggy dance right in her driveway after which I ran with it to the car before she could change her mind
