This past Saturday my mother and I hit a huge neighborhood yard sale at Ross Bridge (home of the Regions Charity Classic being held this coming weekend). I think there were as many vendors as expected golfers. It was awesome! It was nice to just park and walk.
















And the "stuff"....it was "the good stuff".
I got this gorgeous large buffet style antique mirror with beveled glass for just $8.00.


















See the detailing? I think I will dry brush some white paint across it to highlight the relief.
















I LOVED this original artwork. So much I bought it.

It came with a story. The lady selling it had lots of stories with things she sold. I love that. This was something she purchased on a trip to Buenos Aires with a boyfriend.

The boyfriend is now history.
The artwork reminds her of him.
And I have a piece of gorgeous original framed artwork with authenticity plaque for $5.00!
The artwork is called Buenos Aires Tango by Pablo Paez.








































I also picked up this "Bless this House" glass vase with light for a buck.

I plan to use it in my Christmas display next year. Unless I come up with a place to put it between now and then.One buck.
I also found Sister Sledge some more brand name clothing. She was happy about that. I declared it a successful weekend. How I wish I could do it all again this weekend. What a great sale!

Tablescape Thursday
Now, onto to Tablescape Thursday, which is hosted by Susan of Between Naps on the Porch.

I also participate in Tablescape Thursday on Thursdays in addition to Thrifty Thursday.  The host of that fun carnival is the Hostess with the Mostess...Susan of Between Naps on the Backporch. That's no lie or exaggeration, each week I visit Susan's porch and just long to be a guest at any of her tablescapes...especially those held on the porch.

It's time for so many to be hitting the beaches. This makes me think of picnics on the beach. Dining with a view. And what a view it is!

(Taste of Home)
I invite you to stop by my food blog, PLATES & PLACES for Foodie Friday. I will be sharing the beach menu for perfect finger foods/nibblers: Oven fried chicken, shrimp gazpacho and coconut lemon bars.

**I do want to share that I will be announcing a giveaway  very soon. It will be sponsored by CSN Stores.
Tune in so you don't miss out.**
