Yard Sale Fun(ny) Stuff!

It seems Patty was a little off her game yesterday when we got together to make up our yard sale signs.  I have proof:

What can I say??
And because it's us, we'll actually use this one.  I wonder how many folks will be paying attention??

Time Again for the Country Living Fair!

Country Living Fair 2012 - Atlanta, GA
Our ticket to Country Living heaven!
The Country Living Fair 2012 in Atlanta, GA is gearing up, and Patty & I will be heading in that direction on Oct. 26th for a much anticipated overnight road trip.  And, get this.........both of our hubbies are going along for the ride!  Can't believe they actually wanted to go when we started planning this trip, but we're certainly glad they'll be with us to join in all of the OUR fun.  Besides,  we'll be able to use two pairs of strong arms to haul around the junk we buy!  

Since attending my first CLF last year, I'm a little wiser about the "equipment" required to enjoy this trip to it's fullest.  I didn't have near enough hands to carry all of the treasures I found, even with hubby Don's help.  So I was quite envious of the "Treasure Transportation Devices" that several folks were using.  Therefore, for my birthday this year, I've put in a special request for this little item:

Collapsible red wagon for hauling treasures!
Perfect for hauling STUFF!
A collapsible RED wagon for hauling around all of the fantastic treasures that we'll find.  I spotted one of these at Harbor Freight Tools for $59.99.  It will definitely be put to good use!

Also, I noticed that a really nice vintage inspired charm necklace seems to be a must-have piece of equipment for shopping the CLF!  So, Patty & I have both come up with our own versions, but since we've never photographed them, I found this example on Etsy:

Can hardly wait for the end of October!  In the meantime, we're brainstorming a special vintage tailgate lunch to add some more fun to our trip.  AND, I need to make sure hubby doesn't forget to pick up my Treasure Transportation Device!
