Today I'm participating in Rhoda's linky party where bloggers show off their yard sale finds! Last week I went with a friend of mine to have a fun day of treasure hunting (hi Sally!). And then my family and I hit an antique mall over the weekend. I can't show you everything because I was shopping for my Pay it Forward participants but here's what I want to share with you today....
Let me start with something that wasn't found thrifting but still was a great deal! I've had this vase for a while but finally figured out where to hang it. My hubby put it up for me today and I couldn't wait a second before running out to the yard and picking from my hydrangea bush for it. The vase was a gift so that makes this project free!
My hubby spotted this big, heavy key for $2.
I'll probably end up hanging it on the wall....as soon as I figure out where.
I love vintage postcards and have been searching for all the holidays. These were all between $2.00 and $3.50.
I found this print at a thrift store for $4. I got it home, hung it on my backsplash it looked like it needed a buddy! I had only picked the one because it was the month of June (my birthday month).
My friend was so kind and went back to the store as she ran errands the next day and picked up another one for me. Now the one doesn't look so sad....
This one says September, not bad considering my son was born in that month!
I've noticed a few bloggers using a cute teacup as a scoop for their glass canisters. I just had to copy for my sugar jar! I found this new teacup at an antique store for $3.

The find of the week had to be this table.....
Look at those beautiful legs! It's a heavy piece, the wood is beautiful and both sides fold up to make a really nice sized table!
The best part had to be the price. Can you read the price tag?! It says $3.93!! As we were looking at it a very helpful lady was there marking it down. I think the original price was $7 which was great but I ended up with it for a steal.
Right now I have it sitting in my dining room. I'm thinking of painting it up and using it as an extra table for guests, buffet table, whatever we need it for!
Now go over to Rhoda's lovely blog (at her new address) and see what everyone else scored this week!

Great finds, but that table takes the cake! Oh, my goodness! You will have fun with that! Linda
Thanks so much for sharing your great ideas! I love how you display the postcards.
Do you have a Community Thrift-Am Vet store? The price tag on the table is just like what the Community Thrift in Orlando uses. I go almost everyday. I get the best deals there-It's crazy what people give away. I also put a tea cup in my sugar jar like yours.

What an amazing price on that table!
Love the vintage cards, the wall vase (beautiful hydrangeas!), the key and I love the idea on the teacup...I might just have to do something like that! Oh, that table is gorgeous...can't wait to see how you'll use it. Great Thrifty Treasures!
Hugs,
~Victoria~
Michelle, Thanks for responding.
Pokey was 17 when he died 2yrs ago. I miss him so much.
I'm still learning about this blogging.
Hello Michelle - I love ALL your amazing finds. Those hydrangeas are fabulous in the vase. Love the big key (I've been on the hunt for one!). The vintage cards are so adorable! I like the little card holders too. I love the teacup in the canister! I might borrow that idea. And the table is so cool. Can't wait to see the make-over - heirloom white?
Blessings,
Marie

Good morning Michelle :)
Okay, this is really weird... I have one of those pictures with the month too and I just realized it's a November one... that's MY birthday month! I didn't even think about it when I found it either... LOL
Love all your finds and that table really was a steal!! LOVE the legs :)

I just love you pictures. Tomorrow is another post on “What would your children say?” “Wednesday” It’s going to be fun sharing all those wonderful adventures our children do and say. If you don’t have a kid, feel free to post something about your furry four legged family member. I can’t wait. Please tell us all about them. Hope to see you tomorrow. Go to the logo that says “What would your children say?” “Wednesday”, for full details.
You really did steal that table! Wow, what a great table at a great price! Love the vintage postcards, and the way you display them on the flower frogs, and that big key is great too. My favorite is that vase! How pretty, and what a great excuse to buy fresh flowers every week!
OMG, wonderful finds. That table is more than a steal!! It is almost like finding it at the curb.
Blessings, Denisemarie-Bloomin'
All of your finds are great but that table is unbelievable! Girl You lucked out on that treasure.

My Lordie!!! That table ...you lucky girl~
Hey Michelle!!!
$4 for a Duncan Fife/Phyfe drop leaf dining table isn't bad! Now we have matching tables! Woot!
