A yard sale from Perry, GA to Brunswick, GA? Ummm..yes, please. Friday the 13th, Saturday the 14th of March and over 200 miles of garage sales! Tonya and I set out for Perry on the 12th so we can get a head start in the morning. We have very few requirements for sleeping quarters on our little adventures. Our trip to New Jersey was budget minded and we have since found we love dinky little motels. As long as they have a front porch and chairs we can bring outside, we are happy. We make a little fun drink and sit outside playing on our iPads. So what if repairs are needed while you are there. We’ve got it covered. Macgyver ain’t got nothing on us! A safety pin will fix a broken toilet!
We started the morning in a little bit of a fog and kinda chilly but quickly warmed up with some coffe and the excitement of our first stops. I was looking for a low dresser to use as a tv stand in my living room and things to sell in the Antiques Capitol of Georgia Festival that was coming up in the next few weeks. It was slow and go for awhile but by lunch I had managed to fill up the bed of the trunk, including my little dresser that I found for $10! (It’s buried under the tarp, but more on my dresser makeover later.)
After lunch in McRae, the yard sale sites became fewer and fewer. We did come across a big field where many different people had set up tables and decided to stop. I scored a saddle I had been wanting for a long time and even the ditch with water couldn’t stop me from getting it to the truck.
We made it to Brunswick and stayed on beautiful Jekyll Island for the night. We got up the next morning and saw all the neat things Jekyll Island has to offer. Like this beautiful beach with giant driftwood trees and old plantation style homes with art exhibits.
The yard sales weren’t as good as the day before so we went back to the motel and hung out on the porch. HAPPY!
All in all it was a great experience and we had a blast! Looking forward to August when we get to do the Longest Yard sale. Stay tuned! 😉
