In our neck of the woods we have what they call National Pike Days, three days of yardsale galore all along historical Rt. 40! I got to go on Friday and Saturday and of course I was in heaven, most of the sales had pretty cheap prices oh, there were some that wanted store prices but they didn’t sell very well, I think the highest I paid for an item was $5.00. That’s what I paid for this Coca Cola crate, I bought it to plant some flowers in it, down the road a bit was a man selling flowers and he was a big help in showing me what plants grew in shade only. I can’t wait to see it all grown in!
Isn’t it pretty on my table on the back porch?
Also found this Burpee watering can for a $1.00
So cute with the other ones!
I couldn’t pass up this wrought iron shelf with hooks for .75 yes, I know so cheap! At another sale I found these two faux (brand new) plants for .50 a piece then I added the watering can which was a yardsale find too a few years ago, and the little shovel from the hooks!
Look what’s blooming, we planted it about two years ago, a friend gave it to us and this year it bloomed!
I bought more but it’s getting late so I’ll show you in my next post!
I’m joining these great parties:
Thrifty Treasures @ Southern Hospitality
Sunday Showcase Party @ Under the Table and Dreaming
Metamorphosis Monday @ Between Naps on the Porch
Cozy Home Party @ Cozy Home Scenes
Nifty Thrifty Tuesday @ Coastal Charm

I've got such a soft spot in my heart for these dear vintage crates.. I pick them up wherever I go! I can never pass them up!
It looks like you had a wonderful time. You found some super finds!
Great finds! Your Coke crate looks great on the back porch! Enjoy your day!
All beautiful - and I love thrifting, too!
You scored! I'd love to go to a sale like that! Pop crates are almost $25 here.
My gosh those prices were great! What a score on the crate. I think you did good lady! What is that plant? I like it alot. I've seen those before but cannot come up with the name. It's very pretty!
You found some great things! I love the fact that everything was so inexpensive. The cola crate is very nice.
Oh Rondell, I love your crate! I have one too and my plants didn't do very well in mine. I hope yours does! Enjoy your day, Gail
Thank you for showing your great finds at Your Cozy Home Party. I see those crates often but never know what to do with them so thanks for the idea. Your white Rododendren is beautiful.-------- Shannon
You found some wonderful goodies!!! Love your watering cans all lined up on the shelf! I might have to borrow that idea....very clever :o)

Wow Rondell...great finds! Love the Coca Cola crate and how you've used it as a planter. Great idea. Wish we had National Pike Days here too. So jealous :-S
Hugs and Kisses,

I would love to go to that garage sale. I've heard about it, & it sounds like a wonderful experience. You found some awesome things, & I can't believe the prices.

Excited to find your blog. I love seeing what others buy at yard sales & love posting mine too. Hope you'll follow me too.

I'm so glad I came across your site! A few years ago I was out for a walk with my kids when, in someone's garbage along the road, were two of those crates with 7UP on them! A teenage kid from the house was just there then so I, looking like a complete fool!, asked if I could take them! He thought I was completely nuts, shrugged and said that was fine! They have been sitting in the shed after that first year of planting and just a few days ago I thought about them again, trying to decide what to plant in them, and where they would look good! You have inspired me to haul them out and fill them!
