World's Longest Yard Sale! & little thrift store

So, if you've been reading my blog, you know that I got a chance to shop the world's longest yard sale while on my way home from vacation! Though I only got 2 finds, those 2 finds were amazing and totally worth it! Here they are!
BEAUTIFUL vintage pearl necklace (shown in previous post) only $1

Another awesome necklace for only $1!

some of our yard sale stops



Okayyy, so maybe I found 3 things, this homemade ice-cream was cherry coconut perfection.

This is the thrift store that we went to. We also made it to the local Goodwill in Chattanooga. We were really confused because we found absolutely nothing, but everyone in line seemed to have a handful of stuff. It's usually the other way around haha.

I found this plastic wooden frame for only $0.99. I plan to paint some chalkboard paint onto to it to make it a chalkboard for my living room. I'll have another post about that when I eventually do it!


I also got this necklace for $0.49!!
Here's how I wore it to work yesterday:

Goodwillista Family/Vacation


Last week, my family and I took a vacation to Chattanooga,TN. It was much different than any trip we've ever taken, and we all enjoyed it.  We visited Rock City, Ruby Falls, the Lost Sea and rode the Incline Railroad.  We also went zip streaming and whitewater rafting! And something I was SO excited to do was get to stop at some of the yard sales participating in the world's longest yard sale!! 
We didn't plan it this way, but this day we all ended up in Goodwill finds! 
Alyssa's Romper: Goodwill $4.99
Nadine's Romper: Goodwill $4.99
Kevin's American Eagle Polo Shirt: Goodwill $3.49
My Romper: Goodwill $4.99


Isn't the view of Lookout Mountain behind us amazing?

The Incline Railway. "It goes STRAIGHT UP and STRAIGHT DOWN," so said my mom before we went on vacation... it doesn't.

The view at the top of the Incline Railway. We thought it looked like heaven. :)


Pictures from the world's longest yard sale coming soon!
