Hello Friends!
I am worn out today. I'm in fairly good condition; I walk at least a mile a day, and I always take the stairs to my third floor cubicle at work. I felt well prepared for yesterday's shopping marathon. Silly, silly woman.
Yesterday, marked my maiden voyage to the 23rd annual World's Longest Yard Sale . If you are unfamiliar with the sale, also known as the Route 127 Corridor Sale, it is 675 miles of yard sales. I know! It runs from Hudson, Michigan south to Gadsden, Alabama.
I packed some healthy snacks, string cheese and grapes, and several bottles of water. Sporting comfortable shorts, a sleeveless top, white cotton socks, tennis shoes and sunglasses the "bus" (my car) set off at 8:00 AM.
My trek began in Van Wert, Ohio. Van Wert is an hour and a half drive northwest from my home. It is a beautiful town with amazing architecture and friendly people. Next to the parking lot, was the county historical museum. Let's take a look.
Ohhhhhhhh what fun. Love the goodies you were able to get. Great prices!!

That yard sale sounds like so much fun! Lovin' your mirrors and that's a cute plate-enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI didn't even realize it went into Ohio. For some reason I thought it was a southern states thing. So now I'm kicking myself for not heading out to it. Cute plate!
ReplyDeleteOh I am so jealous! I want to do that yard sale so bad. Maybe one day I will make the trip! Looks like you got some great finds! Love the lamp and those little mirror too!
ReplyDeleteOMG! I have that same lampshade! I got it at a garage sale last summer! I would have loved to have gone to that longest garage sale if I lived closer. Must be on the west side of the state? Can't wait to see what else you found!~Hugs, Patti
ReplyDeleteHey big spender! Glad you had fun. What a cute little lamp, too. I'll get down the pike one of these times....
