I shared earlier this week that I am shopping the Worlds Longest Yard Sale
with 5 other amazing bloggers
and GMC.
I have been sharing on instagram and FB and Twitter and thought I would share a few of the amazing things we have seen on day one of our trip
For those who might have missed the post -you can find it here
It’s 6 bloggers
GMC and their AMAZING team
driving 3 Acadia Denali’s from
Michigan to Georgia
shopping the worlds Longest yard sale for treasures to decorate a
Habitat For Humanity House in Georgia
It’s an absolutely amazing project and I am so thrilled to be a part of it.
I flew into Michigan on Wednesday morning early
and met with the team the next morning.
and met with the team the next morning.
We then spent the afternoon getting to know our beautiful rides for the week ~
The GMC Acadia Denali
So many awesome things about this car- we are loving it-
which we have nicknamed ‘babygirl’ because of it’s license plate.
We started out shopping the local Re-Store here and found lots of great stuff for our rooms
A little junk on the trunk (quote courtesy of Connie)
and we were off to a great start filling up the trailer with necessities and fun stuff
Today~ we started out in Hudson, Michigan
and ended up in Florence Kentucky.
The yard sales area fantastic- one right after another and sometimes a whole block.
Then sometimes you go for miles with nothing.
Here are some of the notable things we saw today
This guy was so sweet to donate this vintage ladder to the house.
We LOVED these chairs. I WANTED these chairs
They were $8 each.
Wanted them but they weren’t a fit for the rooms we were working on
and the others didn’t need them.
We saw gorgeous gorgeous homes
and amazing barns.
Everywhere.
We stopped for a few Griswold moments and gazed at the water
and then got back to shopping.
I recharged my phone with the USB port
while driving.
Awesome.
Jocie was gathering signatures along the way too
We arrived in Florence Kentucky this evening
went to a fantastic dinner
and then off to get some supplies before climbing into bed
Tomorrow~ we are getting up early again for
Day Two
of the yard sale
and from what everyone says- it should be amazing!!!
Hope you will follow along on FB and Instagram
and share your ideas too!

Looks like a blast!! Those sales are awesome and I live only minutes from the highway in Ohio – woo hoo!! You're doing a great thing. :o)
You are kidding me!!! I was at the sale in Michigan and north of West Unity I was parked behind one of these vehicles!!!! I almost took a photo , but didn't. Small world!! Have fun…I was exhausted and only got as far as Bryan, Ohio. I did not stop at every sale either. lol

Oh, road trip, road shopping trip! I love that.
It sounds amazing. I would love to go to the world's longest yardsale! Have fun.
Ahh, I see you started in Florence, KY. One of my sisters (who comprises 1/3 of Panoply, along with myself and another sister) lives nearby, and here's a funny story about our experience with the Longest Yard Sale….we started in Florence and made it about 3 blocks – total! Hahaha….we are so detailed when we shop, we lose track of time, and before you know it, the day is shot and we haven't covered much territory at all! But, boy, do we have fun! I hope you do too! Welcome to the neighborhood, Courtney!
Best, Rita
Courtney, it is fun to follow along on this adventure. Thanks for sharing this experience with your readers.
Oh, Courtney, I am just catching up on blogs and wish I had known you were one of the bloggers in Atlanta to do that house. We heard all about last year's at the haven conference. I hope this means you will be at haven next year!!
