At the same sale I found this planter, also only 25 cents. I had planters like these before but when the tree fell it smashed them both. The insurance company allowed $50 to replace them. The original blue one was actually pottery but I'd say that $50 worth of planters for 50 cents was a good deal!
I also found this sweet bunch of flowers for $1. They look quite real.
Even up close...
All my bargains were just plastic, but.....I think they look pretty good! Have you found any bargains lately? Rhondi xo
You surely do find some great bargains. The flowers are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love your planters. What a good deal. I amazed that you just bought the planter with the fern, and you have already painted and potted. Your plastic flowers do look real. I'm starting to go back to faux flowers again, after I pitched then just a couple years ago.
ReplyDeleteI KNEW I should have hit some garage sales this past weekend, honey! I would have grabbed that planter also and filled it with faux ferns to put outside on the front porch. Great deal and idea, sugar.

Love your bargains! I too am a bargain shopper. I scored on a spur of the moment suite in Newport Beach with a view of the backbay for only $127.00. The air is so clear and there are great trails to walk around, all the while observing the wonderful wildlife that exists in this little wild area that is nestled by homes.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe those planters are plastic! They look like wood and pottery. What great finds!

I'd say you hit the plastic jackpot at those sales! :)
ReplyDeleteVery good deals indeed! Nope, none around here. I hit 6 yard sales on Saturday morning, and there was nothing there for me. Maybe next week.

Not too many bargains here lately. The yard sales have been yucky! You have found some great pots - really nice that they were covered by insurance with lots of money to spare. Sally
ReplyDeleteNone of your finds even look plastic. They are so pretty.
ReplyDeletedoesn't it make you feel so good?getting so much for so little.my dh and daughter went to g.sales this wk-end at my demand.ha.i can't go,but it doesn't have to stop them.
ReplyDeletefor $15.00 they got my d a puter and a larger tv and a scanner.how's that for a deal.whee..................ann
The planters and flowers both look great. I have some plastic planters also, and I love them. They seem to stay cooler than the pottery kind and the roots of the plants stay cooler too. Great finds. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteHi Rhondi,
ReplyDeleteYour bargin planter looks great! You are inspiring me to get out and garage sale shop again!
:) Diane
Whoa, girl!!! You got yourself some fabulous buys, and they look great.
ReplyDeleteYou proved that plastic can be awesome.
You did great! Can't beat the price for sure. I didn't do any garage sales this weekend....they are getting fewer and fewer around here as we get into summer heat. I got some great deals on the last 2 that I went to..they are posted on my blog. Have a great day!

Wow great buys! You must have some great yard sales in your area. 25c days are long gone around here. Even the thrift stores are jacking up their prices. But there are still some treasures to be found out there. The hunt is the fun part :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Rhondi,
ReplyDeleteWhat great bargains you have found! I haven't found any great treasures lately.Maybe I should go to some yard sales on Saturday.
Carolyn
Don't you just love a good garage sale? :0) Sometimes it takes alot to find a good one...but then it's worth it when you finally do! Those flowers really do look real! I love the blue planter! Keep shopping and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWhat great bargains Rhobdi! I love the way you have transformed the planter.
ReplyDeleteHi Rhondi, Love all your finds! The blue pot is really pretty! :-) susan
ReplyDeleteYour flowers and planners are veryy pretty
ReplyDeleteGreat bargains and they look beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteI love all the bargains you found and you can't tell at all that they are plastic! I would have thought the flowers were real if you hadn't told us they weren't!
ReplyDeleteRhondi,
ReplyDeleteThose are the best looking fake flowers for the price I've seen. I love them.

Hi Rhondi! I think you found some really nice things... I always said there is nothing wrong with plastic as long as it looks good. Your plastic doesn't even come close to looking like plastic, I wouldn't have known if you didn't tell me ;-) ...Hugs, Jennifer
ReplyDeleteHow smart of you to paint that plastic planter. It turned out great. What a deal! laurie
ReplyDeleteThese are some good deals, Rhondi! Love them!
ReplyDeleteYou know what I'm thinking... I must have been clicking on the Porch Party thing to check in with you and going to that one post. There are TONS of posts that I've missed. I'm trying to play catch up now!
XO,
Sheila :-)
