Rhoda's "Favorite Yard Sale Find Party" ...

Rhoda at Southern Hospitality is hosting a "Favorite Find" Party and invited us to share our very favorite yard sale/thrift store/estate sale treasure.

Hi, Rhoda ... Just a note to thank you for inviting us to participate in this fun post, and to also let you know that I enjoyed reading the "Yard Sale Diva" article about you in the Birmingham News. It was very well written and I can imagine how exciting that was for you. Congratulations!

Now, I'd like to share my latest yard sale treasure with you.

Actually, it's two items that I found at a yard sale last Saturday -- a vintage hummingbird print and an elegant old frame.

I love old prints and lithographs and the minute I saw the print I knew I wanted it, even though it was in a flimsy, ugly gold metal frame. I carried it around with me as I browsed ... and hidden under a stack of old frames was this gorgeous "antiqued" frame that looked like it was just made for the bird print.

And what made it even better was that the print and the frame were just a quarter apiece!

Thanks again, Rhoda, for hosting this fun post. Now that I've finished mine, I'm going to go check out everyone else's treasures.

Sincerely,

Life is Just a Bowl of ... Peaches ?

One of the best things about summertime is fresh, sweet, and juicy Georgia peaches, and these looked so pretty when I put them in my grandmother's little mixing bowl that I just had to share them with you. I also want to share the little table they're sitting on. I bought it for $2.00 at a yard sale Saturday and just love it. I bought this rusty old candle stand at the yard sale, too, for just $2.00! I'm going to use it as a plant stand somewhere in my yard. Hope your day is filled with sunshine and smiling faces!
