Hey Ya'll From Alabama

We made it!  And we immediately got to work.... well I wouldn't call it work.  I would call it FUN + some dirt, sweat, mud and A LOT of gas.  Thursday is the official start date of The Worlds Longest Yard Sale but we decided to take a drive rather than check in to our hotel and so glad we did! 

Two awesome things happened this evening, aside from great finds...

---

First, we met Rick Stewart from Hat Creek Antiques in Alabama.  Rick had awesome industrial lights, and I loved them!  He was happy to share his knowledge about lighting design.  Thanks for the tips Rick! (and the awesome tailgate!)

The second awesome things that happened was that I met Dewanna Ward!

Now this part is so cool to me... Dewanna is from Louisiana and happened to be in Alabama for the same reason I was, and happened to end up in the same front yard where I was chatting with Rick... and she recognized me!!!    She walked over, pointed at me and said "Rust & Found, right?"...  Crazy!!  She follows my facebook page.  I was flabbergasted!!  So fun! We chatted and she shared her tips for the sale, which she and her hubby have done for years.

So the goodies.... of course I made lots of purchases tonight and we have not even scratched the surface yet!  Below are my two favorite so far, and I can't wait to get home and get busy.

Yep! That's a tailgate! Here are a few pics of some rather unique or fun items from tonight:

Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!  Up early because we hear the traffic will be what really slows us down tomorrow.  More from the south tomorrow!
