Demijohn-Horchow Linens-Polo Handbag


What does all of this have in common?  Goodwill and a yard sale at a nearby neighborhood of Million Dollar homes.  Gotta' love it!!!


Goodwill didn't have anything that I couldn't live without except this great find.  A gorgeous demijohn.

 See the price.  Of course I had to have it.  Yip-skip!!!



 Then I saw a yard sale sign at a nearby area that is very upscale.  All of the homes are at least a Million Dollars.  I thought maybe they might have some great finds and I sure was right.  Most things I couldn't afford or use, however I did find a couple of things.  Horchow placemats new in the bag.


                                                  Look how beautiful.  A set of four for $5.


The detailing is stunning.


                                           Another set of 4 placemats for $5 also


 So pretty and delicate.  Both of these will make fabulous gifts for special people I know.  (I'm still trying to stick to my goal to get all my Christmas shopping done way early.)


 Same yard sale and a fantastic summer handbag.  Brand new with all the tags still on it.


                                                        Another super bargain for $5.

There were some fabulous designer clothing at this same sale, however I can't wear a size 6 (darnit) and I don't need any evening wear or tennis outfits.  I was hoping to see some furniture or home decor, but none at all.  I still think I found a couple of treasures.

I am linking to the following parties:
Thrifty Thursday @ Tales From Bloggeritaville
Treasure Hunt Thursday @ Blue Creek Home
Thrifty Things Friday @ The Thrifty Groove
Frugalicious Friday @ Finding Fabulous

Thanks so much for stopping by, I always look forward to your visits.

  3. You got some great things, Marty! You know those Horchow placemats were probably 10 times that much brand new. Love your bag, too. I often wonder what kind of trash the million dollar homes throw out on bulk pick-up day. I'd love to drive by and see. Good for you to keeping to your plan for buying Christmas gifts throughout the year. I've picked up a few myself, but I have to get them all in the same place or I'll forget all about them!

  6. Marty,
    I am coming shopping with you! I would have picked up all of those great finds too!
    It seems our GW does not have much that I can use. I am mostly disappointed. Your demijohn would be worth stalking GW!!!!!
    Don't you love getting treasures for a wonderful price?

  26. Marty, you are a lucky thrift chick. I'm such a linen freak and love to find the pretty stuff.

    I think my mom has some placemats like the first ones. Now, you have my head getting all tablescapey.

Thank you for dropping in, I have been awol for awhile due to colds and flu's but now with Spring in full swing, I'll be around more!! Take care! Oh wait!
