Photo Story of the World's Longest Yard Sale Pt.2

I hope you enjoyed Pt.1 of the World's Longest Yard Sale (otherwise known as the 127 Sale) blog post! I had so many photos to share, I split it up into 3 parts. 

I don't know if taking so many photographs was such a good idea. I am feeling remorse over so many things I left behind. This wonderful iron piece was only $10. I went back the next day to get it only to find that the vendor packed up earlier that day and headed back home to Nashville. This was probably my biggest regret. I would have looked great hanging on the front porch.

There was plenty of glassware for the collectors!

 

Looking for a license plate?

More gorgeous glass!

A camera crew arrived while we were there. I don't know which station they were with, but they had all sorts of equipment and folding chairs, a hair and make-up artist, assistants in tow with bags and notebooks, reporters practicing their stories, etc. It was fun to watch but we didn't hang around long. Jess and I had more shopping to do!

Several booths had old store signs...

Maybe this was for the thrifter who had the best find?

I didn't even see the sewing basket to the right of the candy dish until I was back home editing photos...

Don't know if this horse was old or not although I think it was old. I didn't get very close to examine it, but I loved the way it looked!

Wish I had bought this. I could have made it into a rustic farmhouse coffee table.

Of course I had to take a photo of this 40+ pound book!

More burlap sacks... think these were for coffee...

This wedding cake chandelier was gorgeous when the sun light hit the crystals!

I didn't have (nor would I have spent) the $300 that the seller was asking for it.

More signs...

And more lavender glass ~ or is it called amethyst glass? Either way, the bottles were gorgeous!

I resisted buying more jewelry pieces. I have several drawers full waiting to be used in my assemblage necklaces as soon as I find the time.

I know Roger could build this for me. Wouldn't it make a pretty display case?

Tennessee honey! Delicious!

And this one left Jess and I wondering "what in the world???" Could someone please tell us what it is?

That's it for part 2 of our World's Longest Yard Sale trip. I'll have the last post ready in just a few more days.

I've been painting more pumpkin watercolors! I'll be sad when fall is over and I need to choose a new subject.

These were finished last night. They are 9" x 12". I'm not sure if I should sell these un-matted and unframed, or perhaps in shabby white frames. What do you think?

The following ones are already listed in shops:

I shared a few pumpkin watercolors I recently painted and wasn't sure if I'd sell the originals or just prints. I have decided to sell the originals and they can be found on my TDIPT Mercantile page.

{this one has a spiderweb in the tree and is for sale in my Etsy shop}

and in my Etsy shop as seen above.

I have larger ones painted that will be sold unmatted and unframed so that the buyer may display them however they wish.

I'm still wondering about a scanner for artwork, as mentioned in this post. If anyone can suggest something, I'd appreciate it. :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Take care and God bless,

Photo Story of the World's Longest Yard Sale Pt.1

My daughter and I spent a day at the 127 Corridor Sale this year. With the high cost of gas, we chose to shop local instead of driving for miles and miles and miles. We stopped at 3 locations where vendors had gathered, all in Fentress County {our home county and the place where the idea for the sale originated}.

{first stop}

{lovely queen anne's lace on the side of the road where we parked}

The weather had been hot all week, but on Saturday it was overcast for quite a while and a bit cooler ~ at least cool enough to be bearable till the afternoon.

You can believe it when they say there's something for everyone! 

{$6 each ~ I don't know why I didn't buy these!}

{love the little aqua jeep!}

{the engraving on this was so beautiful! I think it was priced $45}

{Jacks, anyone? They were in their original jar! About $50, I think}

{100 bucks}

{these were so pretty grouped together}

I saw this crown crock sitting on a table and had to take a photo... I knew I couldn't afford it. I started to walk away and as I went around the table I saw the price sticker on the side of the crock. You won't believe it...

{my ABSOLUTE favorite find!}

FIVE DOLLARS!!!

{took this shot at home just so you'd believe me}

Yes, you heard me... FIVE DOLLARS!!! I grabbed the crock right away and held on to it! :D
When I found the guy who had the items for sale, he jokingly said I took the photo of the crock so he couldn't price it higher to me, lol! He said it had been $20 {which was still a deal I thought}, but it was the next to last day of the sale and he didn't want to haul it back to Indiana where he lives. 

{I'm trying to be careful with it so that pieces don't flake off. Don't you just love the crazing?}

I was so inspired by this piece that I painted a watercolor of it:

and have the finished, framed painting listed at TDIPT Mercantile.

{this was so pretty and yes, I did buy it for 1/2 price to use on something I make}

{these sheep were adorable, but too high for me at $40 +}

{as soon as I saw these chenille ornaments I thought of my friend Stephanie at Old World Primitives}

{lock it up!}

We didn't realize until we were leaving that we had parked soooo far down the road from our first stop, but as you can see it was a popular stop!

I hope you enjoyed coming along with us! Check back in a day or two for pt. 2 of the Photo Story of the World's Longest Yard Sale.

Take care and God bless,
Lana
