Yard Sale Jackpots

My son and I took a drive this weekend to the neighboring county. We hit a couple of yard sales along the way. He scored some computer games at the first stop so he was motivated to hit them all after that.

It was a particularly orange day for me.
The table was a steal of a deal at $7.00.
The fiberglass tray and fruit bowl were 10 cents apiece.
The fab fondue pot, $2.00. Placemats were 10 cents apiece also.



I found this set of dishes last week for $5.00 at a local thrift store.
(Creamer, sugar bowl and gravy boat I already had.)
Light fixture from ebay.

Little wooden lighter. Can't remember where or how much.

Lovely set of glasses that match the ice bucket below.
More beautiful glasses in a similar pattern. Yard sale, $2.00
Very comfortable lawn chair with snazzy wooden arms. $1.00.
Another wall sconce, $1.99.
I love hanging out with my son....with or without the great yard sale scores.

  2. Nice score on the dishes, TST Cathay if I'm not mistaken. Very cool indeed. And that table is an unbelievable bargain!!

  3. Wow! You had quite a weekend. Love all the orange things. Orange was so popular in the 50's and 60's. I remember my Mom pairing it with Pink and thinking that she was being very innovative.
    I also love that table with the gray top. If you are interested..., there is an antique store in Jackson, downstairs next to the Wells Fargo Bank that has these tables with crome legs at very good prices.
    Enjoy all of your finds....

  4. Oooo, I'm so jealous--I have such a hard time finding TST Cathay--right now all I have is a platter and a couple plates & bowls. To find all that at one time is totally hitting the jackpot! I'm always so glad to see someone else finding lots of good stuff and then bragging on it just like I do. Of course we're not BRAGGING--we're SHARING!

  9. Great stuff. I'm so glad you finally found a fondue pot.;)
    Seriously, it would take me years to find that sort of stuff where I live. I went yard saling with my son this weekend, too. I love spending that time with him, too:)

  10. Man, I was all hyped because I scored a Lane coffee table for $75 and a whole Ikea patio set for $100. Guess I overpaid (but it is California).

    My neighbors growing up had that exact same salad bowl. I've always wanted it!!
