Thrifty Thursday #76

     Do you ever get a glimpse of a yard sale and what you see gets you so excited that you can't wait to get up in there? Well, that's how I felt about this estate sale when I saw it.

 

I could see from the road that there was a lot of furniture. When I spotted this beautiful dresser, I asked the lady how much she wanted for it. She said, are you ready for this?, "I'll take twenty dollars for it." I do believe that my jaw dropped.

Now, let me tell you that not only do I not need any more furniture in my house, but I don't have room for any more furniture in my house. But I couldn't believe her price.

So now I have a beautiful yellow dresser with a matching mirror sitting in my driveway until I can find a place for it in my house.

 

Isn't it so beautiful?

 

I also got this vintage suitcase for $2. Great deal if you ask me.

A girl can never have too many old suitcases- unless you ask my hubby.

He would probably beg to differ:)

 

Books were only a dime, so I went through all that she had. I got 12. I got a couple that I want to read, a couple for the library at church, and several to turn into journals like this.

 

The last thing I found was this vintage linen with beautiful embroidery work. I only paid a dollar for it! I know some lady put hours of work into this. I just love it!

 

 

I am super excited because as I was reading the town paper today, I saw that there are two estate sales tomorrow. Yippee!

I hope you all take a little time for some secondhand shopping this week.

 

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

 

Show us Your mercy, Lord, and grant us Your salvation.

Psalm 85:7
