Regardless, we had a wonderful day. It's pretty much just like your typical Saturday yard sale excursion only absolutely everyone in your neighborhood is having a yard sale. You drive along HWY 127 and there are some folks who have houses on the highway so there are a few tables set up in the yard.
Then you drive along and suddenly it's tent city:
What you're seeing is typically just the front row of "booths." Items range in price and style. Some people specialize in niche markets:
Buttons.
Buttons.
A table full of buttons.
One tent was nothing but sewing notions. She even had old sewing advertisements. I immediately thought of my friend Jen. Now, Jen is currently in Korea enjoying the wonders of Fabric Mart, but I know she would have loved this booth.
Steve was kept very busy with all of the old tools. Here are today's finds:
He showed a lot of restraint.
In all we traveled about 60 miles north of Chattanooga today. The traffic isn't bad at all. As a friend of mine put it "you're treasure might be right there" so you have to stop every few feet to check out the "booths."
Here are a few more shots of the "treasures" we found today.
This cute little guy that Steve and I are convinced is from The Land of Make Believe, but we can't confirm it.
This cool Therm-a-Chest metal cooler that you can see is already being put to good use.
This cool new vase that's going to look nice in our living room.
The glasses are for my brother: they are from Disney's 25th Anniversary.
Right now I'm really loving bangles.
It's been a really fun day, but tomorrow I'm going to have to take more pictures.
