127 * 3

This was my third excursion to the 127 yard sale. I had some good luck this year!
I ended up mostly shopping and buying for others but that is just as much fun to me!
Some of my finds will not be listed (they might be gifts)!

Find #1 at the 1st stop of the day: Dunlap TN
A fellow from Northern Georgia had a tent full of cast iron, fishing rods, and odds and ends.
I've been looking for a good priced cast iron skillet (mind you not the "pre-seasoned" ones at the stores now days). I wanted a #10 SLICK cast iron skillet. I found a cadillac of all cast iron skillets in his tent - a Griswald :)! And I also purchased a #8 griddle from him too. I got a great deal at both for $50.

Cast Iron Trivia:We found out later from another gentleman in Pikeville that all of the Griswald cast iron pieces are from 1952 and earlier. Wagner bought out Griswald that year and also changed the bottom of their skillets a few years later.

Find #2: Downtown Dunlap, TN
 A neat vintage cookie jar. It is a Stewart's cookie jar for my sister in law.

Find #3 : Downtown Dunlap TN
Gracie's Princess cutouts. My niece Gracie is a Princess, and loves Disney Princess'.
So when I saw these.....

I knew Princess Gracie and Queen Sister would love them!
They are the cutouts that you would see in the Movie Theater or Movie Rental Stores promoting the movies, or in this case, The Disney Store.
I'm still kicking myself because when we went back to pick them up, I forgot two woodland creatures that obviously went with a missing Snow White. Oh well, maybe the rabbit and squirrel got a good home too.
I got some awesome stares as I was carrying them to the car, including a woman that stated, "Hey that girl bought those princess'". Yes. yes I did.

Find#4: In between Dunlap and Pikeville TN: There is a spot that love to pick at, I'm not sure where to say it is exactly located, but it has some great finds.
Here we found my sister some old Coke crates for dirt cheap and some Christmas presents....hehe.

Find#5: The fifth find was the nut chopper below, it is just like my Granny's. I love that it is metal with a glass jar. It really works too. In this booth, like one of many during our trip, I was asked if I was 16. I had on a cap during the trip, I'm attributing my age misjudgment to the hat! Although, I do like the misjudging to be younger!

Find#6: In Crossville right across from the Dollar General off S Main St, is another favorite stop of mine.
I "picked" a chocolate covered cheesecake there! My Mom bought a vintage watering can and some beautiful hand embroidered vintage handkerchiefs and linens.

Find#7: In Crossville there is an area that always sells metal things, like plant stands and lawn ornaments. In past years I've bought a plant stand and metal chicks. We were trying to beat the rain that was coming so we scanned quickly (and I refrained from buying all 30 metal pumpkins they had)! In a sheltered area right beside them housed a lady who was selling vintage linens. I found one for my cousin, Susan, it had her birth date on it! It was meant to be, I had to get it for her!

By then we were exhausted and HOT! So we saved the last leg that we normally travel (north of Crossville) for other pickers! See you again next year 127!
