Yard sale hosta's.
Imagine my delight to find a yard sale that was selling garden plants.
Actually, a sweet lady in my ward was having a fund raising yard sale to
help raise funds for a granddaughter's trip to Europe.
She had plenty more divisions, and told me that I didn't have to buy any at the yard sale, and she would be happy to give me some more plants.
She only wanted .50 cents for the hosta's, and .25 cents for the lilies, and .10 cents for some of the other plants she had.
Incredible deal!
At the local nurserys you can pay $10.00 for a single hosta.
I'm not certain exactly where I'll display it permanently .
Not a huge fan of the previous owners stamped lid.
I'll be making a change to that for certain, and more than likely, the entire box will be painted white, and distressed.
A day filled with treasures.
Attitude of gratitude:
~I'm so grateful to be able to drive well and not make everyone else on the road crazy.
Sorry E. .. but maybe it's getting time to put the drivers license away and let J. drive you.
I'd be sick if you wrecked or caused a wreck.
~I'm grateful that I have a love of thrifting, and making the most of every dollar.
~I'm so, so grateful to be getting such a bounty of gorgeous landscaping plants at a fraction of the cost of buying them at the nursery.
One day, I hope to have enough plant divisions to share with others also.
You really scored on the plants. Last year a neighbor gave me several hostas that he was dividing. Just the other day a friend gave me Autumn Joy Sedum. I have to get those planted.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to get pictures of then.
Enjoy your weekend.
Good Afternoon Kerin, Beautiful plants at a great deal...what could be better? Plants are so expensive these days and I'm sure hers are bigger/healthier than anything you could buy.
ReplyDeleteI also love your thrift store finds. My kitties would destroy the pretty heart wreath, I'm afraid! We saw our first butterfly just yesterday. I love your photo of yours. Enjoy the evening.
Kerin, I sat down for a few minutes this afternoon to catch my breath and catch up on other blogs. It has been a long week. Your story about the treasures at your neighbor's sale is wonderful, and made me laugh. I would LOVE to find a sale around here selling plant divisions! What a bounty!
ReplyDeleteOMW! That is a deal on those hosta's! They are so pricey even at the big box stores. What a nice neighbor you have. It gave me an idea, maybe I could have a garage sale to finance a trip for myself! LOL! Although, I really like staying home and it's such a hassle with dogs and plants and gardens. You got some precious items at the sales today. I keep staying home until I clear out a bunch of stuff. I need to get rid of or make do before I get anything else. I can't just go look because I WILL buy, no doubt about it. In other words, I'm really trying to be good! LOL! I'll live vicariously through your treasures. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHello, sounds like you had a wonderful day. Glad you found some treasures - good for you. It really doesn't take a lot to make us happy, does it. I need to start going to some garage sales. I use to go often when I had a booth in an antique store - long ago. Time to get out and see what I might find.

Mercy, you got some incredible deals indeed! I hope your lady friend was able to raise a sizable amount for her granddaughter.
ReplyDeletewow! hostas can indeed be expensive. You are a lucky dog! Now your yard will be all newly planted for the heritage festival!
ReplyDeleteWOW! What incredible prices on the plants! I wish she was my neighbor!! Seriously, I need a neighbor that loves to garden, and doesn't always want to chop everything green down. Sigh. I seriously need to move out in the country.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute blog you have! I am your newest follower! Your little town looks so idyllic! I have traveled through Southern and Central Utah a lot so I am thinking that you must live in one of those lovely pioneer settlement towns. Thanks for your fun posts and I love the music on your blog. Looking forward to more posts!
