Rustic American Flag - free! (it's big, about 3 feed wide)
I've been on the hunt for over a year for plain white dishes. I didn't care at all what pattern they were, just no color. Amazingly they're much more difficult to find than I ever imagined they would be! Until now. YAY! It's almost a complete set with 13-15 of each item. - $6
(after I got them home I finally looked at the back and it looks like they're Hedge Rose pattern from Wedgewood & Co. That doesn't mean anything to me, but I know nothing about dishes either. Except that I like white ones.)
Stainless soap dispenser - $.50
Polka dot bowl and teal apron. I had a moment where I was sure I'd turn into Donna Reed if I owned these and so I immediately snatched them up! - $.25 each
What I didn't get - these golf clubs, but they were sure getting a lot of attention from shoppers!
And this vase. I really loved it, but I don't have a speck of red in my entire home so I would have nowhere to put it. But it is so cute, isn't it?! It was $3.
This is what the streets looked like at 7:30am - just flooded with cars and people everywhere.
I ended up with 3 hours of blissful thrift shopping all by myself and I couldn't have been happier.
**Now it's 2009 and I'm ashamed to admit that I haven't been out thrifting yet this year. I miss it! We've just been too busy. So I'm linking to this post from 2008 for Rhoda's Thrifty Treasures party.

Those are GREAT finds. I love that vase. It would look great in my dream dining room or red, white, and black.
You got some of the best deals..Couldn't get over the folk art flag..dishes are beautiful and what a deal..Yard sales are so much fun..I can't go anymore, I end up with stuff I don't need, but it was such a deal, had to buy it..
I love the flag. I am trying to avoid the yard sales right now - money's a bit tight. But I hope I can catch a few before the summer's over!
Wow! This looks FUN! and you got some GREAT deals!
