Saturday Sightings - Yard Sales & Old Fashioned Days...

This was one of those 'made in heaven' days.  I learned of some 

yard sales along a long country road and made that my morning mission.

The first sale was at this old red barn...

They had a bunch of that chippy red barn wood for sale - 

but someone was buying the whole pile when I arrived.  

No!!!  Thankfully - he rejected a few boards - so 6 came home with me.  

Price?  Just five!!!! cents a piece!

I oohed and aahed over the project potential and the

 barn owner was all too happy to show me her project... love!

Who wouldn't pull in this lane?

I didn't buy anything - but did steal a shot of their lovely flower bed.
But I did buy lots of 'stuff' other places.

Roadside stands were plentiful.  Loved these awesome cabbage planters for sale...

And I bought some really big gourds at this one... 2/$1!  

And hmmm...dried grass for fall decorating?  I like it!

 Then - I wound my way to the other end of town and visited a 

local event called Old Fashioned Field Days.  

Turns out it was 'free' - and very well done! 

My favorite display was The Wash House...

...where the youngsters could try their hand at old time laundry...

There were wagon rides...

Hit and miss engines of all types...

And lots of living history demonstrations...

 

I wanted to stay for lunch at this stand.  

The sausage with cooked peppers and onions smelled wonderful!

And a table set with burlap?  Be still my heart...

My only purchase was some fresh roasted peanuts...

While a bluegrass gospel band played in the background...

Loved this day!  And was blessed to be able to have it.  

Till next year...
