More thrifting

Last weekend a nearby town was having their community yard sale.  The name of the town is Stouchburg and it is a darling little hamlet with some really beautiful homes.  My sister’s friend is beginning to collect items for her daughter’s first apartment.  She is hoping not to spend too much money so a big yard sale was just the ticket.  I really had so much to do at home (and I haven’t cleaned house in weeks) so I thought about backing out…but changed my mind.  I am so happy that I did! 

I have wanted some antique shutters to hide the laundry area in my kitchen.  I have seen some that were priced reasonably but were not as tall as I was hoping to find.  At last!  I have a pair!! One is right side up and the other is down but aren’t they great?!  Chippy old white and green paint.  They stand about 6’ tall.

And just because I can’t leave well enough alone, look at the hinges.  Can you tell – they make me swoon!! 

I am not going to tell you what I paid for them because if I did you would hate me! 

 

I also found a sweet little table that I will use in my dining room.  I can’t decide if I am going to refinish or paint.  Either way, the “faux” leather tabletop will have to be replaced.   

I also found more silver plate flatware.  Sorry for the glare off the silver.  They really are so beautiful and shined up just like new! 

This is the back of my sister’s car.  Looks like a pretty successful day, doesn’t it?!!

Once again, I am linking up with Rhonda’s blog, Southern Hospitality.
