Yardsale Jackpot!

Oh. My! It was another fun-fun yardsale day on Saturday. I hit the road about 7:15 a.m. & only went to 5 sales, but found some wonderful stuff. I'll start again with the things I saw, but passed up, so you can drool along with me. If I had a bundle of money to spend, I'd buy more & share with all my friends, cause I'm sure someone would want these things. The first pic is at one house, 2 old rockers for $75 each. I think that's probably a good price for something like that.
Same sale, some iron planters for $10 each.
More concrete & wooden planters. You can see the prices on these if you enlarge the pic. Several of you have asked about me taking pics at the yardsales & the reactions of the homeowners. Most of them don't say anything, they are sometimes too busy with other people to pay attention. I do tell people if they ask that I have a blog & I'm sharing with my readers all about my yardsale adventures. They don't usually say anything at all & I just snap away!

Cute little bakers rack for you shabby chic girls. Check out the pink roses. I didn't spot the pricetag on this either, but I'm sure it was pretty reasonable.
This oak table & chairs was marked at $200, which was probably quite good, as I think this set is older & solid oak.
All these pillows were $1.00 each.
Antique china & you can see the price on this set.
Wine table was $10.

This house had some great stuff! I didn't get the prices on all this stuff either, but it sure was cute. How about that white tiered table?? Oh, see that little blue/white toile towel on the back right corner? I got that! You'll see it in a minute.
Plates, silver & glassware, very reasonable. 3 blue/white plates for $8....not bad.
Lamps & a cute oval wicker coffee table.
I just about cried over this blue toile chair for $45. I just couldn't justify buying it, although I sure wanted to! It would have looked SO good with my French vanity in the bedroom, but I just bought that stool which really fits nicely. I'm quite sure that this price was a steal. The lady at this sale used to be an antiques dealer. Waahhhh, I'm still bummed over that one!
This little chest was already sold, so I didn't see the price, but the white chair was $18.

OK, now here's what I did bring home. See this set of white china?? Yep, bought it for $10. Can you believe I almost didn't buy it. I have been wanting a set of white dishes & this one was a complete set of 8. It's by Pfaltzgraff, which I know is a good name. Perfect condition, hardly used at all. I actually left the sale, went down the street & came back after thinking about it for a bit. I was lucky it was still there. See...I eat cereal a lot in the mornings & the bowls aren't as big as the bowls I have now, so that was one reason I almost passed them up. Can you believe that? That's how I think sometimes, my practical side comes out. But, I knew that the price was great & I figured I can get some extra bowls along the way that are larger just for my morning cereal. They are SO pretty & I just love them.
Here they are at home on the counter.
See the pretty detailing and the scalloped edging? I think I'm really going to enjoy them, even if the bowls are smaller. And all the pieces were there.
I came back to my own neighborhood & went to one last sale & this really pretty vintage lamp was $5.00, so I couldn't pass it up either. It's got one of those big ole' drum shades which I'll probably replace with something more current, but I love the base. It's crystal & antique brass on a marble base. Don't know where it's going yet.
And one more little item I picked up, the blue toile tea towel for $1.00. Isn't it sweet?

Now, I saved the best for last! Remember when I bragged last week about finding a table for my hubby's office & that I would find it eventually. It might take time, but I would find it. Well, as my luck goes a lot of the time, today was the day. My very first stop of the day turned up this table & chairs for $50! It's real wood (with some pretty veneer around the edging) & has very pretty detailing. After looking at it quickly, I knew this was it. It has a leaf too that can extend it longer. Even though I don't need the chairs, I can sell them cheap & still be ahead.
Here's the 5 chairs that came with it. Anyone need any chairs? These are going up for sale. I'll probably list them on my Craigslist this week. They do need some repair work, 2 or 3 are wobbly but are very cute chairs. I'll sell all 5 of them for $25. Isn't this table pretty?! I was so excited to find this & get it home.
And just in case you think every room in my house is picture perfect...think again. Here's hubby's office, a work in progress. The table will sit here against the window. The really great thing is, I already had a desk in here, the one to the right (which was too small for him to spread out on), that will be a great credenza. What are the chances of me finding a table to match this old desk? I can hardly believe how well it goes with the desk & is very similar tone & blends perfectly.
Check it out! I bought this desk in Atlanta at a neat antiques market that is no longer open several years ago. I still love this desk, it's very neo-classical. And the table fits it perfectly. That old chair was the one I did have with my vanity. So the plan is to get a small TV in here, so hubby can work & watch his news shows & have a large desk space to spread out on. My DH works at home. And we can shut the door & block out the mess. I'll probably look for a comfortable chair to put in here too, since he's wireless & can move around the house. That way my den will stay neater.

Maybe down here in the South yardsales are better, I don't know. All I know is what is out there in my area & growing up in the Atlanta metro area, it was great there too. I hate it for you girls who don't have good stuff at your yardsales.

So, you can see I did very well today! It will be fun to get this office space fixed up for my hubby & this will be a place he can really use & enjoy. Just look at all the things you can find yardsaling!
