longest yard sale in america

yep, 450 miles long. starts in alabama and ends in kentucky and i'll be there, shopping for treasures amongst the doilies, thimbles, hubcaps, candles, and fiesta ware. mom, my aunt and i are heading up to the family farm in tennessee which we will use as base camp for daily jaunts out into the madness. personally, i'm taking my bike along and plan to sneak away for a few side road country rides. apparently this is the 19th annual event and guests come from all over, yes even canada and mexico! check it out here, it starts today and goes thru sunday. jealous aren't ya?

okay i went and i scored! coffee table, old wooden desk chair, wrought iron shelf stand, 2 wall mirrors, orange tea towels, and yes, 2 token ceramic thimbles with cherubs on them. all for $150 smackers. wow.
