Thrifty Thursday #67

     I saw a story in the local newspaper that said a well known beautiful old house in town was going to host a yard sale. I was so excited; I counted down the days til Saturday.
     I got there and was a little bummed. I don't know what I was expecting. The house was just the location of the sale- they weren't selling old relics there. Sometimes I make things bigger in my head than what they really are. I tell you what, if that yard sale had been all I'd imagined, it would've been amazing!!!
     Anyway, I did find a few things. . .

 

like this old card game. I LOVE old games!

 

Check out these cards! They're written in English and French.

Getting a little culture for just fifty cents:)

 

I found this really old fishing reel for my hubby who's a lifelong fisherman.

I thought he could set this on a shelf.

 

I bought this reel, too. They were both sitting there at only fifty cents apiece.

I thought they might look cute in a fishing themed shadowbox.

 

When I saw this plate, I. Fell. In. Love.

Have you ever seen one so pretty?

It's a small dessert plate and was only fifty cents.

 

This 17" x 15" frame is missing it's back, but for a quarter, I don't care!

I'm going to clean this puppy up and spray paint the frame a pretty color.

I may replace the glass with chicken wire. Not for sure yet.

 

I got a book for a quarter. I love to read.

I'm always on the lookout for leisure reading books that I can get rid of after reading them.

I have not made the leap over to a Kindle yet. I am just an old-fashioned girl, I guess.

 

I hope you all have a delightful time going to yard sales this weekend. Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

 

 

All the days of the afflicted are evil,

but he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.
