Here is some more rummage love for you today: a needelpoint pillow for $2. (can you believe that price?),
a Waverly red toile pillow for $6. (how could I pass up red toile?),
and two milk glass urns for $1.50 each. (Actually, I can't really pass up milk glass, either.)
One more rummage post tomorrow, and then I swear, no more. In the meantime, I'd love to hear what you look for when you go to a sale.

You are such a good shopper. I keep my eye out for plates and books - and of course those rare "heartstoppers".
ReplyDeleteMay I come and go shopping with you? Honestly, I never see these sorts of things when I'm shopping and certainly not at those prices.
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds!!! I LOVE those urns!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could find the kind of rummage sales that you go to! Great prices! Love all the goodies.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just adore rummage sales. What treasures! That toile is the pattern I want to do the formal living room curtains and window seat cushions in. The walls are a deep red and the toile will be perfect. You are a such a great rummage sale shopper! You should think about 'shopping' for us.. find lovely items, mark them up, and sell them to your readers!
Hope you and yours are happy and healthy!
xoxo~

I love the pillows, I have the Waverly toile in black in my dining room and kitchen. I look for plates, right now I am on the lookout for blue and white, a collection I just began this summer.
ReplyDeleteGood moring Mary,
ReplyDeleteWhat unbelievable prices on your rummage sale finds! When I go garage sale or Goodwill shopping I never know what I'm looking for, just whatever jumps out & calls my name. I do love dishes, especially bowls & pitchers of all sizes. Who knows what I'll find at Goodwill today, it's 25% off for senior citizens, I guess that's one good reason for being 55! LOL :>)

Wow! You found such great things and the prices were fantastic! I love those pillows and the white milk glass was a steal. I look for books and dishes and odds and ends of things that capture my heart. ~Adrienne~
ReplyDeleteI love to see the things people buy! So pelase don't stop showing us!
ReplyDeleteLast Friday I saw a red toile and gingham sofa with toile pillows just like that one. They were asking $150.00 which was a bargain, I WANTED it, but I have no room for another sofa. I'm sure someone bought it and is thrilled.
I look for platters, pretty dishes, things with acorns and squirrels, interesting kitchen ware, small furniture. But those pillows sure are pretty - I'm looking for those now too.
ReplyDeleteHello Mary, I found your blog a couple days ago and am so glad I did! These are great finds!
ReplyDeleteMary, those are all great finds. I love needlepoint too. And you can see I don't pass up a lot, I bring home way too much. That's why I'm having my own yardsale this weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou have a knack for finding great treasures...they are perfect for your lovely home!
ReplyDeleteBest,
Claudia
Love the needelpoint pillow, I made a pillow exactly like the Waverly one and I can't believe the milk glass for $1.50....your making me cry down here Mary....I just paid $26.00 for a piece on E-Bay..actually the husband paid but still......Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds!! Love the needlepoint pillow. I'm always looking for brown transferware, red tole trays, and anything else that I fall in love with. In May, we had a great time antiquing at "Antique Alley" in Northwood, NH. Is that close to you? Sally
ReplyDeleteSeriously Mary, you need to go to Vegas!!! You are so lucky in your rummage/thrifting finds. The needlepoint pillow is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteNow tell me you have a rented storage space to keep all the goodies while you rotate the collections.

Great buys, Mary !! You are so good at this thrifting.
ReplyDeleteI have a THRIFT posting ready to post AFTER I get home from THE cruise...I have found some great treasures, too...
love, bj
Vee -- come on down and we will have a ball going shopping together!
ReplyDeleteAbbie -- I would have a problem shopping, then selling on. I would not want to part with anything! LOL
Suzanne -- we are bursting at the seams here, so maybe I should consider Abbie's advice!
Sally -- I am in NJ, about 4-6 hours from NH. But I'd love to go there and check out the antique shops!
Wow, that needlepoint pillow is amazing. You found some wonderful deals. Don't you just love that when you find something great like that. I love it. enjoyed your blog!
ReplyDeleteDebbie
I love your milk glass - I have a few of those as well - and the pillows are gorgeous - I'm especially fond of the needlepoint one!! It always varies as to what I'm looking for! For a while it was the reproduction Staffordshire dogs for my daughter's college graduation present... Lately it was a simple styrofoam wig head that (that I finally found last month and just posted about today!)... And sometimes I'm not looking for anything in particular, but 'things' find me! ...Donna
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the red Waverly pillow.
ReplyDeleteI'm a succor for silver, classic books, baskets and of course all things light houses or flowers, especially roses. But I did a post today about my husbands latest find. Click over and check it out. You'll die!
*hugs*
Those pillows are darling! I love them... and the milk glass pieces are just as cute. Don't be too hard on yourself for not being able to "pass up" those treasures. You did great! :)
ReplyDeleteI never see these things in thrift stores or rummage sales in my area... if I had a choice, I would look for the things you look for! :)
Hi! Thanks for visiting me and your kind comments..
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your blog--it is so beautiful and your house looks so warm, cozy and inviting!!
Gotta love those rummage sales and thrift stores! You got some good deals!
Blessings,
Myrna
First Thanks for stopping by my Blog today. Gosh I love your finds!!!
ReplyDeleteMy kitchen curtains are red toile ; ) love needlepoint and milk glass too.
Will stop by and see what you got for us tomorrow...hehe.
Love them all. Especially those pillows. ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Mary. Thank you so much for your well wishes. We're truly blessed and so thankful God spared our home.
ReplyDeleteI love all of your finds! Those pillows are beautiful. Your milk glass is great! Wish I could find such treasures!!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Mary,
ReplyDeleteI never tire of seeing your treasures. You sure do find some great ones. I haven't been to the church one in awhile, but I must go. Hubby and I went to this junk/antique store down in englishtown. the stuff was just piled everywhere, and not the cleanest, but we had fun anyway. I found a vintage baby shoe (I am going to make a pin cushion out of it), and a lovely set of statues, and some nice hobnail glasswear. I just look, and see what strikes my fancy. I love old linens too.
I always end up with a frame, and I rarely go to rummage sales. My tastes tend to be more modern, but I am beginning to fall in love with your decorating style. And I agree on that red toile. It would have been difficult to pass that one by.
ReplyDeleteMore terrific buys! I went out looking today in a few thrift stores and came away empty handed. I look for plates (to break for my mosaics), old books, wire baskets, vintage lace....
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Penny
I've needlepointed long and hard in my day - even petit-pointe as that pillow is.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't sell that pillow for a penny less than $2000.00!! (Of course, that's also why I gave up petit pointe work. There's no money in it!
I need some for my windowseat! I think I'll try eBay. I can't do a lot of shopping at flea markets because of my bad back, but ever since I was a kid and Tapestry by Carole King came out, I've wanted a needlepoint pillow in a windowseat. I have the windowseat...now for the pillow.
ReplyDeleteOooo I Love milk glass and the price? What a bargain!
ReplyDeleteDANG....killer bargain on those pillows! You can't pass up red toile...I think thats illegal in at least 42 states!
ReplyDeleteWrite away as many posts on rummage sales as you want. I love seeing what other people get and especially your things. They are always so classy.
ReplyDeleteI look for whatever grabs my fancy, but I like getting books and plates in all sorts of contradicting colours. I love red and blue but then have another collection in pastels and pretties. I think I might put out the darker colours in the cooler months and the pastels are just right for Spring I think.
* W*H*E*R*E in heaven's name do you FIND these fabulous garage sales/flea markets? Haven't been to/seen a "good" one in yeeeears!!! KUDOS!!! (And I DO wish I could tag along... or follow closely behind you!... during your next jaunt!!!)~~~~ Wunnnaful a wunnnnaful! Thanks n' best, Linda *
ReplyDeleteI have two lined red toile valance that you might like if you're interested and can use them! Jennifer
