Thrifty Treasures Monday!

Good morning friends!
I've been waiting all year to join in on this party again! Have you been over to Rhoda's place - Southern Hospitality? It's one of my favorite blogs!

I was able to go to a large community yard sale Saturday over at Daybreak in South Jordan.  My friends, Kari, Desiree and Natalie joined in the crazy "leaving at 6:45 a.m." fun and we scored some great finds!
New in Package Baking racks - $1.00
I've been wanting some of these forever so I was excited to find this!
 Wooden Christmas Tree $1.00
Matches my holiday decor perfectly!

 Christmas Dress for LuLu - $1.00
This one is a bit iffy - I LOVE the skirt but we were all torn on the fur sleeves.  I'll have to see if it stays as is, gets resewn or becomes a play dress!
Nightstand - $10.00
 All ready for painting! 
Not sure when that will happen or what color yet but this will be a fun project!


If you had any great finds this weekend be sure to post and join in the fun at Rhoda's

How fun. Bummed I missed it but I love the feeling of having some extra cash from my own yard sale. Can't wait to see your nightstand makeover. I just did my first furniture makeover. Who knew it could be so fun?

I love the little dress just the way it is. Reminds me of something from a "Victoria" magazine!

It was fun! Even if Kari tricked me into waking up WAYYY earlier then my poor body is used to. The more I look at it-the more I think that the fur ISN'T that bad. Plus, Lauren is cute and could pull it off...

Fun stuff! Can't wait to see what you do with the night stand.

Great deals...especially a piece of furniture for $10 - you gotta love that! Linda

Kari said...

Good times!! Can't wait to see what you do with your night stand so I can decide what I want to do with mine!! That was honestly so much fun, especially the part where Desiree got hit on!! :)
