Thrifty Thursday #226

Two Saturdays ago, I headed out all excited hoping to have a morning full of yard sale-ing.

I cruised my neighboring area and didn't find any sales.

There were only two yard sales advertised in the paper; only one was any good.

Isn't that funny that when you have time on a Saturday to go to garage sales,

 there aren't any to be found?

One of the two I went to was at a storage unit- it was actually in a large building

 on the same land as the storage units.

I spotted this scale, but it was marked $15 and I didn't want to spend that much.

The gal running the sale said she was up for making deals.

I asked if she'd take ten dollars for the scale. She said sure.

Then I found this slide carousel tray.

It was marked five dollars, but she took two for it.

 

While I was wandering the aisles of stuff, I spotted this metal thing.

I sent my hubby a text asking if he'd turn it into a light for me.

It took him awhile to answer, so I ended up having to go back for it.

This four dollar piece of some kind of metal will make a rather unique light fixture!

I was tickled with my purchases.

That's it for this week.

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

He who follows righteousness and mercy

finds life, righteousness, and honor.

Thrifty Thursday #112

This week's thrifty haul is short and sweet.

I'm happy with what I got though.

I found this vintage scale. I love scales.

It was priced $8.

I wanted it, but I didn't know if I wanted it $8 bad.

So I asked the checker if she'd take any less. She said, "How about $5?"

I definitely wanted it $5 bad! Score!

I brought it home and my hubby said, "Don't you already have two scales?"

It's true. I do. But not one like this:) 

I've been on the lookout for vintage jewelry. I got this pretty broach for $1.50.

I'm very inspired by Bel Monili and the pieces she makes from vintage jewelry.



This brand new pack of memo cards was only a quarter.

They'll make great journaling cards for scrapbooking.

My last find is a small one- just a novel.

It only cost a quarter. Sandra Brown's books are usually quick and fun reads.

Well, that's all she wrote! I hope you all have good luck while secondhand shopping this weekend.

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

Do not fear or be discouraged.
