Handy (Brittany via Pretty Handy Girl) and I are teaming up to do a little junkin', brawl style. We wanna land America's best junk, no holds barred.
Cuz we're goin' on a road trip. A BIIIIG road trip!
Check. Us. Out!
Yes, you read that right! The good folks at GMC are sponsoring this most awesome adventure!
Starting in Hudson, Michigan, we'll be rolling until we land in Gadsden, Alabama. WOW. I've always wanted to visit this area of the States and what better way to take it in with JUNK involved... dream talk!
Think they'll notice I'm from Oh Canada? I might have to squeak a few eh's out to make it all legit like.

We first heard about it 10 years ago, and we've been trying to figure out how to go, but kids came and well, life gets in the way. I am so happy for you that you get to go!! I can't wait to see all the great junk you find!!

Hey Joy! Should we find something we can't live without, I'll just send it home. But for the most part, we're collecting for a family in need. :)
DeleteDonna, When you are in Coloma, Michigan you are less than 30 minutes from me. Wanna meet up? I can show you some good junk in my area....like
Delete1) Coloma Antiques Barn, the biggest around
2) Sunset Junk in South Haven, Michigan...legendary!
3) Then there is the Bangor, Michigan Antiques Mall 20 minutes from Coloma.)
All within 20-30 minutes of one another!

Blow your horn when you cross Signal Mountain and Walden Ridge, Tennessee (not far from your starting point in Gadsden). I'll wave as you go by! Be especially careful on the two-lane roads; people park all over the place and there have been fatal accidents because of careless drivers.
DeleteSounds great, Donna, I'm sure you will have loads of fun! But be prepared, you will find SO much stuff you will have a hard time leaving things behind.
ReplyDeleteYAYAY!!! I'm so excited! Love your video girl!
ReplyDeleteOh- You gals will have SOOOO much fun How I wish I could join the parade. Hey! You DO have my car- mine is Pearlized white and it is a wonderful car....maybe I would slip right into the mix and no one would even notice!!! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteCan I hide in the back....shhhhh I won't tell...This sounds so fun...a lil Thelma and Loise good fun..not the ending....and the house at the end of the trip will be so cool,when you guys are done.....
ReplyDeleteOMG, I'm so excited for you all!!! Will you be going through Kenosha, WI on your way down? Pick me up and I promise I will be quiet as a mouse strapped to the top of your vehicle. You won't even know I'm there!!!!! Hugs from Wisconsin...Tess
ReplyDeleteThat is WICKED cool. I'm just a wee bit jealous, can't wait to see your junk adventures!!
ReplyDeleteWow! I've always wanted to do that sale--you lucky thing!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your posts!
Catherine
Great video Donna! How fun! I live right here in good ole Kentucky, and I've never been to any part of that yard sale! crazy!
ReplyDeleteHave fun!!!
gail
Can't wait to see what you find. We did the yard sale a few years ago and the prices were crazy. Hope you have better luck then we did.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh how awesome! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to get in on the Longest Yardsale.....something always comes up that I can't go on that weekend. The sad thing is that I live in the Cincy/Dayton, Ohio area ! Have fun....looking forward to your posts
ReplyDeleteEvery year we've done the #127 through KY since we live smack dab in the middle of the state. This year we did almost the length of HWY 88, the length of KY the first weekend in June. We've been planning the 127 since then and this year want to start at the TN line and head south. So much fun! btw, we've never been able to find anything around the Cincy and north area before. I hope they start catching on and set out their jewels this year for you.
ReplyDeleteHow incredibly exciting, Donna! (Talk about a dream job!). Looking forward to reading about all your junking adventures and thrifty finds!
ReplyDeleteI believe I may have to join Twitter just to follow this amazing adventure.
ReplyDeleteCould you please publish (even on FB) the Twitter handles I would need to subscribe to for all the ladies on this adventure? Or the hashtag I should look for?
WOOHOO JUNKIN' ROAD TRIP!!!!! I have always wanted to go to the World's Longest Yard Sale. My daughter and her family went to it one year on their way home from vacation.
ReplyDeleteShe said it was awesome. I am so jealous Donna, I sure hope all of you have enough fun for us who won't be there. :( I can't wait to see what you come up with.
Sounds like soooo much fun! I'll be watching for your updates! I just got back from a 100 mile yard sale in PA, had a blast! Have fun and be careful!
ReplyDeleteYou will come right through Hamilton, OH, and maybe a mile from my house. Are you going to be tweeting or anything as you go? Would love to met you Donna.... Well all of you guys really. Hope to see you on 127 somewhere!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou go girls!!!!!!!!Knock em dead Donna! how fun. I am so excited for you!!~
