ENDLESS YARD SALE!

Wow Peeps!
I hadn't realized it's been so long since I've blogged and I apologize. Especially for this long post too!
 But I had a wedding to plan and that takes up a lot of time and energy. 
 But it was worth it.
We got married on Sept. 21st. and took a long needed honeymoon.
Now I'm back and ready to work.
 
Okay so to back track.....
My mom and I went to the Endless yardsale in August which starts in Gadsden Alabama and goes for miles and miles.
 
Check out the pics!
This is black beauty (my truck) parked on the side of the road. I had to get her pic because without her I'd have no way to haul my goods home!
 
This was the back of Black Beauty after we were finished with 4 days of Endless yardsale.  And there are things stuffed inside of things. There was no room left in this truck I tell you!
 
 
 
 
 
This went on for four days straight of junkin'/pickin' and searching for that one vintage piece you can't live without!
 
Now here are some of the items that I scored....
 
These were all for my bestie vintage buddy as her prize! She loved them! That is her signature color BTW.
 
Wooden propellers and such for altered art projects....
 
Here are some metal embroidery hoops (u dont' see metal too much anymore)
LOVE!!
Vintage clip board....LOOOVVVEEEE! Couldn't pass it up!
Vintage slides...I NEVER pass these up...NEVER!
 
ANDDDD....my fav of all time..This vintage butter churn. Yes it is missing some pieces but a complete one sold for $125 and I scored this one for only $35 which was fine since I just wanted to display it.
 
AND this is the living room after I unloaded, so yes the pics of my finds were just a few in a long list of scores.  NOTICE da husband on the sofa checking out the slides I brought home.  He loved digging thru all my finds. Normally he is my sidekick on these type of shopping sprees but I went for an entire week so he had to work! :(
 
I hope you liked checking out my Endless yardsale trip. If you haven't been you really should go. The trick is to be patient, have fun, don't get in a hurry and not to worry about how you look because it is HOTTTTT. By the end of the day you are hot, sweaty and dirty so all you want is a bath and bed.
I can't wait until next year!
 
Happy Pickin'
Christy Bourgeois!
