2nd. Annual US 25 Yard Sale

2nd.  Annual US 25 Yard Sale

   A new yard sale route to run, or to set up on, is coming up, June 6th. thru 8th.  I usually have to drive a hundred miles or more to run one of these big yard sales.  

   Not this time, this one is within 2 mile of my home.  They had this sale last year in August , but, it wasn't highly advertised, so there wasn't a lot of local participation.  This year looks to be different.  I'm seeing more local tourism groups getting involved trying to get the event advertised.

The Sale will run thru Kentucky along US Hwy.  25.

For more information, search Google, or on Facebook search - 'US 25 Yard Sale'  

I am posting this early to give you something to think about.  If you don't have other plans, check it out.  I hope to, weather permitting and Lord willing, Trisha

If You Can't Sell it, Whitewash it

Whitewashed Baskets

 





   Seems like everytime I buy box deals at auctions, I end up with a lot of baskets.  These are some that I had in my booth that wouldn't sell, even for a dollar each.  Well I don't like to throw things away so I decided to try something different with them.









   I used white acrylic paint, thinned with water, then whitewashed them with a paint brush. Before they dried, I applied printed graphics from 'Fairy Graphics', let dry, and sprayed with a clear paint; after that dried I brushed on a clear acrylic finish to protect the graphics.
   I was on a roll with the whitewashing, so I whitewashed an old bottle crate and applied a bicycle graphic to it.  Whitewashing is not new to most of you, but, it was an adventure for me.  Now I will be looking for new things to whitewash.
                                                                         

Whitewash and Graphics


Hope you are having a Blessed day in your neck of the woods,
