Yard Sale Season is upon us! Kentucky has participated in the US 127 (World’s Longest Yard Sale) forever, but additionally, they have the Hwy 54, Hwy 60 and many more. One of the first of the season is the Hwy 86.

Irene came for the weekend and we spent the day with Eddie, stopping at some great sales starting in Cecelia and going all the way to Hardinsburg. There were great deals to be had and, of course, we started at our favourite stop in Cecelia. Right on Hwy 86, we are never disappointed. In under an hour, some great conversation, and easy wheeling and dealing later, we walked away with a great start to the day!

There were sales a-plenty, but the majority of them were selling clothing (can you say mounds and pounds and miles and piles?) and baby items. If you’re shopping for a wee one, this is paradise! Don’t despair! There were enough gems for us, too!

There was a great selection of lighting. Irene’s kitchen will have a red light soon (we’ll call her Roxanne), and so will my daughter’s apartment.

I seemed to be attracted to all things brown! I couldn’t let this fabulous brown enamel strainer or these bean pots go. Some of the bean pots will be used for a windowsill herb garden.

I have a weakness for salvage and snagged these babies! They’re perfect for many of my Pinterest projects.

There were great vanity items including tiny, vintage mirrors, vintage purses and a great fascinator for the Derby.

Of course, we couldn’t neglect the kids. We stocked up on murder mysteries (at 10 cents each, you can’t beat it!) and mixing bowls for my daughter ($55 brand new bowls for $8) and a saucepan and small book shelf for my son.

Other surprises we bargained for included a shadow box frame, measuring cup rooster and feathers. A breeze was blowing, sales were abundant and the crowds were the perfect size…enough to make it fun but not so much that you’re elbow-to-elbow with others.

The day started great and ended great with a visit to Sugar Bucket Antiques (Custer, KY) and some great buys. Kathy Anthony, the owner, visited with us for over an hour, giving us awesome bargains, while we shared stories about our finds and shopped.

We left with 4 bags of purchases and smiles. A great stop on any day!

The day was bright, breezy and fun. Now to prepare for the next one!
