So after the flea market, we headed out to garage sales and a estate sale...I think we bought something at every sale...it was a total of five sales. I was really happy with what we were finding...I past up a lot of great things because Mr.CC was with me...you know how men are! We headed across the bay to do some REAL work for Mr.CC's real estate business and it was around noon when we pulled into the neighborhood next to ours...yes I spotted a garage sale sign...I usually don't stop at a sale this late in the day...but I'm sure glad I did this time...they had just what we have been trying to find the time to go out and buy...what could it be? I promise it's coming!
This white ceramic chafing dish will be perfect for all our Auburn tailgate parties in the Fall...$5.00!
Small White Ironstone Pitcher...$1.50!
Silver Tray...as you can see, I have not cleaned it yet...$1.00!
A seafood tureen and four matching bowls...here on the coast we eat lots of seafood gumbo...so this is perfect for us...I paid a little more than I should have...but it is brand new...$12.00!
Luv the colors!
This is it! We found enough TRAVERTINE TUMBLED TILES for our kitchen backsplash...for pennies! Five boxes for...$25.00!!!! Yes...I did a little happy dance right there at the sale!
This is just what we wanted...I really could not believe that we had just saved hundreds of dollars...I guess it was our lucky day!

You are so lucky to have found those travertine tiles! I can't wait to see your backsplash when it's finished. We haven't tiled ours yet. I also love the ironstone pitcher and the bowl with the lobster! Thanks for hosting.

Linda,
You did find some great things! The dishes and the travertine tiles ... what a buy.
Blessings,
Donna
Wow! You DID have fun! I absolutely LOVE that tile. Good for you.
I am trying to link up and join in on the party this week, but there is no "next" button when I try to attach an image! I have tried several times, but will keep trying.
Donna
WOW!!!! What a deal on that travertine! I am totally in love with your ironstone pitcher!
You've hit the jackpot!!!! Way to go. Awesome finds!
*hugs*deb
You've got some great finds. I'm super jealous of that chafing dish. You're right - it'll be perfect for tailgating. War Eagle!
Yikes! What awesome finds! I need to go shopping with you!
Well, it took 7 tries over the last two days to get linked up. This is really hard. Is this the new Mr. Linky or something? Maybe I am just dense, but it just wouldn't work. Finally got it to go. I guess others find this easier, they all seemed to be linked. Sorry for rambling on. Just happy to finally be linked. Two people left comments on my blog saying they couldn't link up either. Maybe you could post some really easy directions so us not to tecky ones can figure it out. Thanks. Hugs, Marty
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow....
I think my best by ever was to get the complete Oxford Edition works of Dickens for two dollars a book...
this is phenomenal!!

I'm sorry...you lost me when you said you found an ironstone pitcher for 1.50....Oh you lucky lucky girl. I have been on the hunt for some of those lil darlings and they are not always easy to find. At that price,you have one great treasure!!!!
Girl, you did awesome! I love it all but those tiles!!! Unbelievable!! And the fact that they were still there so late in the day just says to me, it was MEANT to be!!
Can't wait to see the finished product!
