longest yard sale day 3...

day 3 of the longest yard sale

began in clarkrange, tennessee 

and ended in albany, kentucky.

we were so excited once we crossed

the kentucky border because that is exactly

how far we wanted to make it on our trip

and we did it.

day 3 was great.

probably our favorite stop the whole day

was the general store in tennessee.

inside the store there was lots of great

stuff to look at and buy.

there was also a cute little cafe that was

meant to feel like you were back in the 50's.

the hamburger was delicious also.

behind the store,

there were oodles of booths set up

filled with amazing things.

we were able to find tons of treasures at this stop.

we ended up spending a good portion of our day here.

there was no man crush for day 3

but there was defiantly a lady crush.

vera and i visited a booth filled with linens and jewelry.

you have to understand,

we are obsessed with linens and jewelry.

we are drawn to table cloths, hankies, aprons,

bracelets, and necklaces

from the past.

there was a fabulous lady that had

the most beautiful collection of these things

that vera and i had ever seen.

her prices were pretty good too.

we spent quite a while talking to her

and getting to know her.

we also both dropped a good bit

of pennies at her shop.

we couldn't help it.

we really couldn't.

i told you, we have a weakness

for those things.

there was also a man there that 

had cleared out a textile factory

and had the most incredible

collection of things.

because he had gotten all these

goodies for close to nothing,

he was selling some pretty popular items

for such awesome prices.

on day 3's stretch,

there weren't as many independent sales with

quality stuff.

we made more stops to areas

filled with multiple booths.

of course,

there was loads of other cuteness

and beautiful scenery along the route.

by the afternoon,

we were cruising around with the windows

down and the country music blaring.

i ended up just snapping pics while we

were flying down the highway.

there are so many beautiful

things that you can't possibly

stop every time you want a picture.

they actually look kind of dreamy

and i like the way they turned out.

we were lucky enough to enjoy the sunset

at a lookout point over the most beautiful lake.

it was an awesome way to end

our last day.

i must say highway 127

was so good to us.

we had the best time.

vera and i are hoping to make this a yearly trip.

it was just the best getaway.

next year, we will definitely have more people

tagging along because it is way too much 

fun to not share the experience.

i am hoping to be back soon with a post of all of my finds.
