Shopping Trip

Well I must say it was fun and I bought a few good things, but one thing in my book that doesn't go together is extreme heat and outdoor shopping.
It was Hot, Hot, Hot and I live in Florida so I'm used to hot weather but nothing like the heat wave they were having.

We started here at Noccalula Falls Park in Gadsden Alabama.

P1030939My favorite sales were at peoples houses.

P1030940
Check out the view from their backyard.

P1030941I'm a little afraid of heights so I didn't get too close to the edge on this one.

This house was next door to a sale we went to, it was gorgeous.
P1030943  The scenery was wonderful.

P1030945We passed this and I just had to take a picture.
I'm still stumped on the message they were trying to make on this church sign.


We traveled a total of 1300 miles and saw many beautiful things, our last stop was in Jamestown Tennessee, the town where the 127 sale all started.

Here are a few of the things I found. It was a lot of fun and we met some really nice people along the way.

  1. I went on the World's Longest Yard Sale and had a blast. Bought lots of fun goodies. I see you did also. We started in Kentucky and ended in Gadsden, Al.

  2. Fun! I had never heard of this before. It would be great to go. So thoughts on that sign... its probably referring to the crucifixion (nails through the hands and feet). Just a guess :)

  5. Looks like a wonderful time!
    That church sign catches the eye and is true. Jesus was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities...with His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53

  12. I am so envious of those of you who went to the WLYS. You brought back some wonderful things.
    I'm hoping you will show us how you use them in later posts.

  13. Oh what fun it looks like you had! The scenery is beautiful. And...for you...living in Florida the views must have been amazing! I have never gone to one of those sales but one of my hubby's co-workers went with her sisters and they had a ball. They came back with every spare space in their truck packed! I love the road sign...not the church one-the one you nabbed...lol Glad you had fun! Trose

  17. Church sign, Jesus' hands and feet were pierced with nails, his dieing on the cross saves us.

  18. So nice to see my home town! Thanks for posting. Oh and the heat is dang near unbearable. I never could understand why they don't have the sale during a cooler month.

  24. I so wanted to do the sale this year. It sounds like you had fun and got a lot of great things. I see some pretty aqua things in your pile! Hugs, Sherry

  25. Jesus was crucified with nails through his body so I'm thinking that was the reference to body piercing. That's a good one.

  27. I love this! Looks like so much fun. That area is so beautiful and so different than California. Im intrigued by different places of the country and how green they are. We are very hot and dry (brown) hahaha. Looks like you had such a great time. I love that!
    Blessings,
