Today's Thrifty Treasures

I am participating in Today's Thrifty Treasures hosted by Rhoda over at Southern Hospitality! I am not that great when it comes to yard sales because quite frankly they are usually picked over before I roll myself out of the bed and I am a bit of a recovering germ-a-phobe. Can I get a witness? BUT these gals make it look so fun and rewarding. I really need to give it a try - maybe in the fall.

For now I will resort to my thrifty ways and that is getting a great deal at the stores. My favorite local shop is Park Hill Home. It is in a quaint historic home in the Park Hill neighborhood and I could easily move in there. Imagine how excited I was when I drove by on {late} Saturday morning and saw they were having a sidewalk sale!!! I had to restrain myself for sure. I spent only $28 including taxes and here's my loot...

This little girl statue for $16.25.
Isn't she precious???

And I picked up this pillow for $5.
The lighting doesn't do it justice in this pic.

There, that's better!
Love the details!

And I'm a sucker for just about ANY urn.
This one was $5 as well!
Click to check out the details.

Be sure to head over to Rhoda's to check out all the other steals. Have a blessed week!

Your urn is awesome! How large is it? You really need to get to some sales!!! Just carry your bottle of germ hand cleaner! LOL I Do!!! It's fun and I only just started doing it. Like the old commercial with Mikey said, "try it you'll like it!"
