 |
| We went to a few yard sales Friday and I wanted to show you those goodies first. I found these gorgeous silk flowers.... |
 |
| actually, they are more like trees! I bought 5 big stems for $10. |
 |
| Cream pillow for .50........ .dishes for .10 each............ and two twin Battenburg lace bed skirts for $5. |
 |
| On the road to Grady (where the auction was) there is another little town named Broadview. Broadview is so small that it only has a church and a hand full of stores. This little gallery was having a yard sale so of course we stopped. |
 |
| I bought 12 sheets there for $1 each. Here are the pretty flowered ones....the rest were all white. |
 |
| This is the barn where the auction was held. |
 |
| The barn was full of stuff and people.... so I couldn't really get any photos until the auction was over. I did manage to snap a few while H was getting our stuff loaded onto the trailer. |
 |
| I won the bid on this beautiful Godinger silver plated service for twelve. |
 |
| I think the pattern is called Grand Master.....$17.50 |
 |
| I fell in love with this huge vintage rural mailbox.....it's the biggest I've ever seen.... |
 |
| I plan to put it in the back yard on a post and store yard tools in it.....$12.50 |
 |
| We haven't unloaded the car yet, but here is a photo of the wicker chair and love seat that I bought. That is a large mirror on the left of the wicker and more stuff under it.... |
 |
| $15 for the wicker set |
 |
| This photo does not really show how big the posts are on this bed....they are nearly as tall as me |
 |
| The post are more the size of porch post.....I may use them for plant stands. $25 |
 |
| Here is H, our grandson Austin, our daughter Melissa, and her friend Randy loading her piano. My daughter had been looking for a used piano and I was able to get her this one for $25..... |
 |
| Yes, $25. No one else even bid on it! The cabinet needs some TLC, but it plays like a dream! |
 |
| Last.....but certainly not least...are these gorgeous vintage chandy crystals. There are about 50 of them.... |
 |
| They were a gift to me from one of my auction buddies and she is also my neighbor. ( She lives across the street and down two houses.) Thank you so much Pat! |
 |
| Hope you enjoyed looking at our auction treasures as much as we enjoyed the day! http://www.aglimpseinsideblog.com/2014/04/catch-glimpse-party-178.html? http://bloomdesignsonline.com/2014/04/link-party-69.html http://staceyembracingchange.com/2014/04/17/creative-inspirations-linky-party-80/?

ReplyDeleteWhat magnificent treasures! Can't wait to see what you do with some of these.
ReplyDeleteOh Panny, this is so great! Love that vintage rural mailbox!!

Penny- I don't know ANYONE that has the luck you do at finding things. And, here's the thing, you buy pretty things that you love and use. What fun! That piano was a real bargain! Those old Wurlitzers can't be beat for sound. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteWonderful treasures, congrats on winning your auction bids.. The silk flowers are beautiful. The vintage mailbox looks just like my mailbox only painted white.. ours is black.. Enjoy your week ahead!
ReplyDeleteWow, some fabulous finds! When I saw the piano in the collage, I thought, I'd bid on that! Glad your daughter got it!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you do with it all!!! You are so creative!
ReplyDeletePenny,
ReplyDeleteWOW! What great goodies! I LOVE the mailbox. I am just visioning what you are going to do with that..... The crystals are so pretty. I just have to comment on the landscape in your area. Very flat, I guess???? We have mountains all around us and a lot of hills.....
I am finally getting my house in order and am feeling good about getting caught up...
Hugs,
Deb
Fantastic treasures!! Love the mailbox & the bed posts - lots of potential.
ReplyDeleteThere is little I love to look at more than what folks can find at auctions, yard sales, etc. As soon as I am well enough I I will be right back at it! I love everything you got! What a cute use of your BIG mailbox! Wow! Paint roses on it! :):)
ReplyDeleteYour finds are awesome! Auctions are so much fun, and you can get some great stuff so cheap! Thank you for the mailbox idea. I'm getting ready to replace my mailbox, and now I will have a use for the old one.
ReplyDeleteWoweeee! Honestly I'd like to come shopping w/you! What a great bunch of finds! WoooHooo....good for you!
ReplyDeleteI love that your H helps you and joins you w/everything! He must be the most kindest and understanding man! What a blessing! Happy Monday to you!
Wow, I'm envious of those bed skirts and the silver set... I was expecting you to say you planned to paint the bed white and use it someplace interesting. Can't wait to see what you end up doing with them. :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks really cool. You got some great stuff.
ReplyDeleteHi Penny, love seeing all your new goodies, great buys you got there. Especially too getting to meet your family, "H" is so special bringing your visions to life!!
ReplyDeletePenny, you always find treasures for your beautiful home. The silk flowers are marvellous.Now i'm curious to see what you will do with all these goodies
ReplyDeleteKisses
Alessandra
Penny, what a fun time. Amazing bargains too! Glad these treasures found you.
ReplyDeleteYou got some awesome deals. Beautiful things at great prices! What fun. Wish I had been there!
ReplyDeletePenny, you find the best treasures - and what you do with this is amazing!
ReplyDeleteoops - I meant "them" - what you do with them...must be too late in the evening!
DeleteI love auctions! I go to one a couple of times a month. It's amazing what you can get for so little money. You scored some great items. My favorite is the mailbox!
ReplyDeleteYou always find the most amazing things!!! Thanks so much for taking us with you, such fun! Always a pleasure having you share at Amaze Me Monday...
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Cindy
oh my goodness it looks like you had a fabulous time and came home with some wonderful treasures!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week. I am joining you at Mosaic Monday.
You have some kind of auctions out there. Congratulations. I am so jealous of those crystals.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great time! Awesome finds!
ReplyDeleteEmily @ elizabethjoandesigns.com
It sounds like you had a wonderful time. I haven't been to an auction in years. I love to go antiquing and do that about once a month. I love the huge mailbox you found. You found a lot of wonderful finds. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Wake Up Wednesday Linky Party.
ReplyDeleteAngel
Wow you got some great buys! Love your haul! Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Deborah
Everything looks so chic! Love your kitchen so much! So romantic #CreativeMondays
ReplyDeletewow! loving all your treasures...especially those crystals. :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings~
Wow...what great finds. The piano was a steal. I bought an antique piano years ago...and I think paid over 200.00 for it. When I moved I gave it to my sister because I didn't have any where to put it in the new place. I miss my piano. Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteWow you did awesome! I'm loving that gorgeous headboard...only $25.00!!! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it all.
ReplyDeleteMarie @ The Interior Frugalista
What a fabulous outing you had. I would have loved to have been along on this trip. So many great finds.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a load of fabulous treasures! Those prices are amazing, wish I could find a good barn auction around here.
ReplyDeleteGREAT treasures!!! Those prices are so good! That piano!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW! You did so well! I'll bet your daughter was ecstatic with the piano! Good job!
ReplyDeleteWonderful day indeed Penny! Lots and lots of great treasures. I found a large mailbox like that last year. Mine is green. It's on my to do list to put it on a post to hold my gardening tools. Hoping maybe this weekend. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
Oh my goodness, what great deals! $15 for the wicker? And the piano, too, amazing. I'd love to find a sale like that! Thank you for sharing this at History and Home this week. Happy Easter, Penny - Dawn @ We Call It Junkin.com
ReplyDeleteOh my!!!! What a steal! That silverware…. 17.50 REALLY????
ReplyDeleteFound you on we call it junkin's linkup!

Take me next time you go treasure hunting! You got so many fabulous items.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you really made out, love your idea for the mail box. Thanks for sharing with us again on Tuesdays With a Twist.
ReplyDeleteAMAZING! Love all your finds and can't wait to see what you do with them! Thanks for sharing at Revisionary Life Thrifty Life Thursday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great day you had at the auction and along the way to there! You found some wonderful things. I love the beautiful sheets. Linens are a real weakness of mine and at a dollar each, your deal cannot be beat!
