As always, every Monday you can check out other bloggers' thrifty finds at
Southern Hospitality This weekend was our citywide garage sale. I must have gone to 30 sales, and this is what I got. Not alot, but I guess it's a good thing I didn't find something at every sale, right? I got some pottery. That big vase is Abingdon Pottery, which I had never heard of, so I had to Google it. They ceased production in 1950, so it is at least 59 years old. The other vase is a McCoy, and the bootie and bird are marked USA. I always wanted one of these "Mother" pictures, below. Even though it has a little water damage, I love it. The vase I couldn't pass up at 50 cents.
This little cash register I got at a sale run by former antique store owners. Everything they were selling was SO cheap. This was $1.00. I am selling it on Ebay. There is a link on my sidebar, if you're interested.
I like this plant holder. It's very cottagey looking. It was $1
I thought this was a picnic basket, but it's a grill! The owner wanted $5 for it. I said no, that I thought it was a picnic basket. He said "Take it for $2.00". So as you can see, he MADE me buy it! I hope you found some treasures this weekend too!

Carol, I LOVE the white vases! I would have bought those too. I found 2 white pieces this weekend at an antique mall.
WOW! :) My Nannie has a "grill" just like that in her glass house--I thought it was an old picnic basket too!! You had some great finds. :) Thanks for visiting!
Hi, Carol! Thanks for visiting my blog. You really got a variety of things! That grill is an interesting find. I've never see anything like that.

I love seeing all the deals everyone finds at yard sales & thrift stores. You found some terrific items. I loved your comment about the picnic basket grill that he made you buy it. Too funny. Thanks for visiting my blog & leaving me a nice comment.

Love the cash register and the metal picnic basket. My Dad used to have one similar that he kept his garden seeds in. :)
If my MIL doesn't want the blue mugs, I'll pack them up and send them to you!
It's a grill! How cool is that! You got some really cute things especially all those vases!

Hi Carol!

stop over....always love your ideas.....

It's a grill? My goodness, I've never seen one of those before. That's a clever idea for a picnic, isn't it?
Your McCoy vase was a real find, and all of your other things are very nice too. You're making me think about treasure hunting again soon. It's been awhile for me.
thanks for stopping by. i love the vases and little bird you found at the sale. good job!
Great finds! I love your Mother print, it looks like a Mary Gold print, there are many mother motto prints by Mary Gold, I have only one. Love all your picnic tins above, we have stacks of them at the cabin too!
Oh I love the cash register. We had one of those growing up. Oh, good memories.
I love the little bird too. Looks like you found some great fun finds.
