The Barn Sale

If you go traveling down F Highway near Oak Grove this weekend....
you will see many small signs beckoning along the road....
~~antiques~~
~~collectibles~~
~~pottery~~

and one large sign....

***BarnSale***

~this is where you would want to turn in~

You will drive down a lovely lane where century-old farms exist

Where cows and their babies munch lazily in the fields and
stare as you drive by

Then you see what you've been looking for~~
The lovely old home with the barn full of goodies.

Wonderful outdoor furniture is awaiting your arrival

A typewriter begs you to punch its keys
...and believe me...
we did.

Benches and boxes and tins abound

A window caresses old bottles from yesteryear

So many wonderful things to see...and buy....
....sweet ladies to visit with...

I love the BarnSale

As we left...we passed this sweet little birdhouse and Spunky said...
"I would put the flag up when the birds are living there"

So would I Spunky....so would I.

Just wanted to drop by and say thanks for the post on the Barn Sale. Since we live close enough to go to it, my husband and I hopped in the car and took off this morning for Oak Grove.
What fun we had. Please come by Dreaming soon and read about our trip. It may be up later this evening or tomorrow.

Thanks again!
