Garden Finials

I hadn't planned on going thrifting this morning because I wanted to work on a post for a giveaway I'm having. More about that later.
But I decided I'd just run by Goodwill since it's close to my house.
Hardly anyone was in there and I took a brief look around and turned to leave when I saw these!


A pair of them just sitting there. I thought they might be terracotta or concrete but no... CAST IRON!!



Can you believe it?
Cast iron, 22 inches tall and only $4.54 each!!


All they need is a good scrub and a coat of black satin paint. Did I win the prize or what? 
Now all I need is a new door mat... don't look at that ratty old thing. :)
Back to the giveaway. 
Here's a little hint.
                                 Goodie bag, kitchen, rooster, yummy.


Here's the goodie bag. lol
I'll show you what's in it next week.
Be sure to stop back to see what's inside and enter the giveaway. 

I'm dashing over to The Thrifty Groove for Thrifty Things Friday.

See you there and pass the word to watch for the giveaway on my blog.

    I never find any thing at my Goodwill except baby cloths with stains all over them or old TV sets. I want a better GOODWILL! You really got a good find. Thanks for sharing. Richard at My Old Historic House

    There is nothing I love more than pineapple finials in the garden, such a welcoming and timeless ornament.

    I was just in my Goodwill and left empty-handed. You get the prize of the day for the best purchase! I sure hope someone helped you load them in your car since they are cast iron...I just got the cutest new door mat from Garnet Hill. You might find one you like...hope your weekend is off to a great start!

    What a fabulous find! Honestly I'm going to have to try new thrift shops because all I ever find are ratty clothes and chipped dishes. These look great.

    That was a real buy, Babs! Congrats to you. Many bloggers have Goodwill "Boutiques" while mine is simply the Goodwill "Junque".

    Have a great weekend!

    Girl, you seriously won the prize this week - those things are awesome! They look fantastic on your brick entry and who knew you had a rug out there - no one is looking at that, trust me people will be stopping in front of your house to look at those gorgeous pineapples! Just kidding, but really they are incredible, and you're a woman after my own heart - thrifting all the way! I'll be back to see what else you come up - thanks for sharing.
