It was mostly clothes, kids and baby things, but in amongst all the stuff I found a few goodies. I got all this for $10!
Isn't the carving on this bench pretty!
I couldn't resist these sequin shoes!
I covered the ratty looking lampshade with some fabric from my stash and scrubbed all the grime off the rooster. He found a the perfect place to roost on the buffet in our kitchen.
Then the rooster that sits atop the china cabinet in our dining room heard there was a new kid in town so he came along to welcome him .
He liked the kitchen much better than the dining room so he decided to stay.
And they lived happily ever after in the kitchen......until I get the next urge to putter around!

OH! I love your new rooster lamp! Great find. And that bench is going to be great when you get a seat on it. It has great bones!

May I give you MY shopping list? Great finds, dying to see the seating when done ... that was a STEAL to say the least.

The little lamp is so cute! It's perfect on the china hutch. I love all of those colors.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you do with the bench. It's got a neat shape.
Hi Rhondi,
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job on the lamp! It looks brand new and perfect for the spot.
I look forward to seeing the remake of the bench!
What bargains! the bench is going to be lovely, hope you will show photos of all you do to it.
ReplyDeleteHi Rhondi, What wonderful finds you got, I love the lamp and the chair, all of it! And you got your husband to go with you! I always enjoy it when my honey goes with me too. By the way, thank you for your suggestions on adding the URL in, it worked! But I haven't changed my post yet-soon!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

I love the lamp!! It looks so pretty on your hutch filled with all the blue and white! I can't wait to see what you do with the bench! Pictures, please!
ReplyDeleteWell done, Rhondi!
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that when I go to yard sales all I can find are used baby carriages and electronics? :)
Truthfully, I went to a flea market on the weekend and found a lovely little stool that will feature in a posting one day soon.
Your buffet is lovely with the two roosters!
Wow great finds!! Love the chair and the rooster lamp is adorable. Glad that he fit into the family well :-)

Great finds! You know, I spied those shoes at a local thrift shop and wanted them but they weren't in my size. I love them.
ReplyDeleteYou found some wonderful things! The bench is my favorite. Can't wait to see what you do with it. I have one that is just a bit different - it's waiting for some paint and a new cover on the seat. Your lamp is just perfect for your hutch and I'm so glad the 'old' rooster decided to welcome the new kid. ~Adrienne~
ReplyDeleteLike everyone else I love that bench!

What a cute post today. Both of the roosters look right at home in the red hutch. I just know you will do great things with that bench.
ReplyDeleteYou did great! The roosters look quite happy, and I can't wait to see what you do with the bench.
ReplyDeleteI think I must have forgotten to tell you I would be doing the front porch party. How could I miss?!!!
You sure have good luck finding bargains. I was tempted to stop on the weekend at a huge neighborhood yard sale, then thought oh noooooooo. Keep going.

Ooooh such cute stuff! I'm dying to find a rooster lamp at a garage sale. Maybe this will be the year:>) The wicker planter, the shoes, the bench! I would have bought them all!
ReplyDeleteLove the shoes.
ReplyDeleteWow! You found some treasures! That bench is a beauty (I can't wait to see it when you get a cushion on it.) The rooster lamp is so great, and your other rooster looks like a perfect friend for this one! Is that a woven planter? Did you get that too? It's great! laurie
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I love all of it! The bench is going to be beautiful after you get through with it. I love how you added new fabric to the lamp shade. It really made a big difference.
ReplyDeleteRhondi, you did good! I especially like your bench and rooster...I have a wicker planter like yours...I like it, too....Betty
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds Rhondi! I just adore the lamp! I love all your stuff anyways. I covet it all! (I know . . . that's a sin.)
ReplyDeleteIt certainly was your lucky day! Is the bench English? The carving on it looks like Prince of Wales feathers
ReplyDeletelove, angie, xx
Oh I'm sure the rooster loves his new place :-) An those are some finds! The sequined shoes are too cute. I wonder what you'll do with the bench.
ReplyDeleteThat rooster lamp looks like it was always in your kitchen!
ReplyDeleteI hope you post the bench when finished- it's a nice looking piece.
What a precious bench! Can't wait to see the re-do. What a beautiful hutch of blue and white! I collect blue and white too (don't we all?). I love the row houses. Are they canisters? Lovely!
ReplyDeleteHi Rhondi,
ReplyDeleteMy, you got yourself some wonderful bargains! Love everything, the bench, those shoes are darling, but my favourite is your rooster! Adorable!

Rhondi,
ReplyDeleteI just love everything you found! Mr. Rooster looks right at home on your hutch and the shade looks fabulous now that you have worked your magic!! I can't wait to see what you will do with the bench!!
I am sorry I have missed a few of your posts...I have been so busy and slow to get around. I heard of your porch party but I just don't know if ANY of my porches will be in party shape by June 1. But miracles happen!!
Have a wonderful week!! :-D
