Day 5, Friday, a Full Shopping Day

What a glorious day!  The weather today was just perfect for an outdoor day of shopping.  I decided that we should look the part of the yard sale shoppers, so I made us matching shirts.  This is sister Sue in hers.  Mine is identical, with less boobage.

 I loved this old washing machine......But not enough room in the van......

 Plenty of good Southern cooking.  This was Sue's lunch, and was less than $6!

 Hubs would like this old boat motor....

I liked all the signage, too.  And there was a ton of it.

 Pretty much, something for everyone........

 Even guns for $1875!

I guess you are going to have to wait to see all my treasures because today there were enough that it was too much to carry it into the room.  Here is a short recap:

1 pair of baby shoes,

2 rolling pins,

3 rusty graters,

4 suitcases

And a partridge in a pear tree...........

Also a display rack, a couple of phones, some buttons and an old quilt......I will post pics when we unload the van.

We have driven somewhere around 1800 miles and have only gotten as far as Crossville, Tennessee. We are tired and ready for bed.  Hope to have as great a day tomorrow.....but the weather is calling for 90's and high humidity.  Stay tuned!

Day 4....The Sale Begins.....and So Does the Rain.....

We were really excited to get started on our first day of the sale.  How much fun we had!  It is absolutely craziness.  Hundreds or maybe thousands of people crowding together to get the best bargain!

 Roads are lined with vendors, food carts, tents and tables.....and the traffic.....

 Parking is sometimes difficult at best and requires patience but you can usually park once and do a bit of walking.  We had a great time......until about noon or one o'clock.  Then the rain came.  Since we hadn't eaten, we drove to find a restaurant......and drove......and drove.  We were so hungry.  We were even tempted to stop at the Cafe that listed Hardware and Worms as other offerings.  lol

I only spent $23 today, but here is what I got:

Three graters, three sifters, rusty ice skates, Christmas bulbs, artificial snow, an old coffee pot and two cute little wooden cats......I can't wait to show you what I am going to do with all this!!!!

 We got to the room early tonight in Chattanooga......room availability has been a bit of an issue right on the route.  But we have a comfortable clean room so we can get to sleep early and get an early start tomorrow......hopefully it will be a dry, but cool day.
