While visiting my BF in Statesboro a couple of weeks ago, we went thrifting to one of our favorite places, Hilton Head Island! I know, thrifting on Hilton Head is not something you would normally think of when you think HHI, but OMG, I'm going to let you in on a little secret! They have the BEST Thrift stores there, and lots of them! And, best of all, the cheapest prices ever! Not only are you in one of the most beautiful places, you get to find cool stuff! The sad part was we didn't have a lot of room to so we couldn't bring a lot back. VEry sad!! Maybe next time, I'll get a truck, it's that good! Here are a few of the things I did bring home!
Everything at this store was half priced so that made this tureen only $2.50
These cook books were also half price so they were $1.50 each
Brown transferware platter was $3.00
Candle holder, $1.00
This was $2.00
This was $2.00
Ironstone platter, $2.00
This little picknic basket, $2.00
Little red bucket, .50 cents
This was $3.00
Now, I'll show you what we didn't bring home and we were verrrry sad!
Can you guess the price?
This cabinet was fabulous and the price, (don't cry, we did) was only $299.00!
Would it not be gorgeous painted black or white!
This lantern was pretty big, fabulous in a dining room or entryway, looked like it came right out of a Restoration Hardware catalog! Big difference, it was only $69.00!
Are you as sad as we were?
Till next time.......

You must have had sooo much fun! How great to find so many treasures for so little! I have the HARDEST time leaving a great deal behind wish I could rescue it all!
Rebecca, Sounds like you found a wonderful place to go thrifting. Can't believe the price on the china cabinet. Love all your goodies. Such wonderful prices. Glad you had a great trip. I have always wanted to go to Hilton Head and now you make me want to go even more. Have a great Monday.

WOW! I can't even pick out a favorite this time because I love it all!!! Your going to have me planning a road trip to Hilton Head if you show another post like this.
I wouldn't have thought that Hilton Head would be a great place for reasonably priced thrifting...thanks for the tip! What a great bunch of finds - my favorites are that amazing brown transferware platter and candle holder!
I am totally jealous. I wish I could fit in your suitcase for your next trip there! What fantastic finds and so reasonably priced too. You lucky duck!
Wow, I should have been there too. You found some fabulous treasures. I love a good thrift store, but it seems like so many of them are getting too expensive these days. Great finds and great prices.
Thank you so much for stopping by and for your sweet comment.
Great prices! You are so lucky to find all these things. The hutch is fabulous!
Great finds! Yay for you! It makes me want to go to Hilton Head soon!
I enjoyed seeing your blog, and will visit again soon.

I can see why you cried! you found some great goodies though. xoxo
I've never been to HH, but my daughter goes there yearly. I never would have thought they had such great thrift stores.
I had to giggle at the synchronicity - they just had a pair of Fair Winds transferware plates on Antiques Roadshow tonight (it was either Connecticut or Las Vegas, can't remember which episode). Cheers!
I love the ship! :D
Hello Miss Walnut and Vine! I found your booth in Goodlettsville Antique Mall on Dickerson Road...my eyes blinked several times...I couldn't believe it...that place and the Rare Bird and Tara's are some of my fav places to visit....on Sundays...maybe I'll see you there..I hope!

Good AND cheap??? I think I am going to have to move there!! Ha! Wow! I love the things you bought. Aren't they incredible - and I'm trying not to be jealous at the prices!!

I have been wanting to go to HHI and this was perfect timing. I would love to go thrifting but how to get it back home...
You found so many wonderful treasures. Love that tureen!
Looks like you had alot of fun!
have a great day.
Rebecca, I think I would have rented a truck and carted that hutch back home. Can't believe the price.
You found some great buys. I like to visit thrift stores when I can find them on travels. I used to find great things at a thrift in San Francisco and also Paris. I wish I could remember exactly where they were.
Oh my gosh! I live in SC. I'm thinking that I need to go to Hilton Head real soon! You found some real deals.
That red rack for $2 is mind boggling! Love your blog and visiting from Wow Us Wednesday.
Oh my goodness you got some great deals! All of them! I like that rack with the hooks...very neat!

All amazaing finds. It would of been so hard to leave the table behind, the price so good.
That is so much fun to find a store with wonderful bargains and really good stuff.

I'm back
I forgot to tell you this was my first time to find you and I absolutly love you header the riding hat and boots , that looks so good to me . I believe I found you on Brambleberry Cottage
Janice
I would have cried to not bring that lantern home, that is fabulous and the price!!!
I love everything that you did purchase though and you must have had so much fun!
Hugs, Cindy
Oh, my word these prices are fabulous!!! That platter matches my transferware, I just got a 8 piece place setting of it! That was a great price. I am in love with that pattern. I began to notice every time I went to photograph food, I kept pulling it out and using it. Thanks for linking up and showing up your great finds!
Sherry
Well I have to say these treasures and these prices would have made me totally giddy. How lucky for you! So happy you shared your new goodies!
Thanks for linking to Potpourri Friday and helping to make it a success! I appreciate you!
We've been to Hilton Head several times but never found the thrift stores. I guess we really missed the boat! Thanks for coming to the party.
You took home some really lovely finds! The china cabinet is really pretty too. Thanks for sharing at Beach Cottage Good Life Wednesdays.
I'm so envious of your platter! I've been longing for brown transferware but can't find it at a good price. I would love to have you share your finds at my VIP today =) http://designergarden.blogspot.com/2011/09/vip-party-26.html
Have a wonderful holiday weekend!! XO
You're right, I never would have guessed it would be a place for bargains. Love that wonderful tureen, thanks for linking up with VIF, xo Debra
I was so excited when I seen the tureen and it just got better as I scrolled along. So sorry that you had to pass on the cabinet. I'm sure you'll be back.
Hugs,
Ellen
