The Cross Plains Trash and Treasures Sale was today



















Exploring Cross Plains - - a unique, colorful town.
I had fun today.  The Cross Plains all-over-town yard sale has been on for awhile, and today, Saturday, was the last day.

























I took some photos of some of the people selling. They have great old houses there, plus an old-fashioned full-service drug store, Thomas Drugs, which is complete with great little booths, postcards, an old clock, and all kinds of stuff for sale. The people in town and at the drugstore were nice, too. I just took the camera out and clicked away.




































































The old brick sidewalks were so neat, and there was old-fashioned Victorian brick-a-brack on many houses. Also, there were many different things for sale (including some old books).

And not too far away, we found farms and pretty countryside. The whole place had a laid-back, fun country atmosphere.
























There were booths from all over, and many residents had yard sales right along the street. I saw many vintage and antique items mixed in with new stuff. That's right down my alley!

















Next year I hope to spend some more time here in Cross Plains, Tennessee. It's just a skip and a jump from the Garden Spot in Kentucky, where I live.

Read what Ms. Cheap from Nashville says about this sale:
Cross Plains Trash & Treasures sale lives up to its name

They are located at 7802 Highway 25E, Cross Plains, TN 37049. Just saying. :-)

Wrapping presents...

As usual, I am behind on my arbitrary list of things to do come Christmas time. I used to wait until CHRISTMAS EVE to wrap my presents, even. But I could tell myself that I waited because I didn't have my last check yet. And this was mostly true.

This year, I have decided to wrap early. It will be a LOT less stressful, and I can send everything out to have it arrive in time without adding on an air express charge. I have collected things all year - but I know there will be a gift or two I need to shop for this week. I will write everything down after I wrap, too. This will be VERY helpful.

I hope to go through addresses and send cards as well. Some people just do this every year, and keep ahead on presents, too. I admire those people. They seem to have such a seamless and perfect system.

Wrapping starts TODAY!

Digg!
