This post comes in partnership with Chevrolet, who supplied me with the all-new Silverado E/V Trail Boss for the trip. It was perfect — very spacious, drove really well and all-electric.
As I detailed in last Wednesday’s letter, I completed the World’s Longest Yard Sale last week, traveling from Florida through Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee in search of treasure.
I’ve already recounted my route and my all-encompassing guide to shopping the sale but this week, I’m sharing what I bought (plus some things I didn’t buy that I kind of wish I had).
Before we dive in to my yard sale finds, a few notes worth mentioning:
QVC has a ton of incredible skincare on sale right now. I love the Elemis Pro-Collagen Balm and it’s under $40.
I recently began using these laundry detergent pods, which are fantastic. They are more highly concentrated that traditional detergent so they smell fantastic and I love the packaging. Makes laundry day feel special.
This bra is wire-free, comfortable enough to sleep in (trust me, I’ve done it) and the most popular thing I have ever shared. It’s the best and I own — quite literally — ten of them.
What I Got at the World’s Longest Yard Sale
I shared the story of this lovely folk art painting on Instagram, but here’s a recap: I saw this lady at last year’s sale, at an antique shop at the top of Signal Mountain, Tennessee. I loved it but I was in a smaller car last year and worried that I wouldn’t be able to fit it without causing damage. So this year, I was shocked when I ambled up the mountain again and saw it immediately upon pulling into the first parking lot. I paid $150 and am so happy with that decision. It’s so rare that you fall in love with a piece of vintage and find it again a year later. She was meant for me!
Lightning struck twice, it turns out, because it was a similar story with this painting: I saw it a year ago at Picker’s Field in Signal Mountain (a multi-vendor stop with dozens of antiques dealers) and didn’t buy it. I came back this year, and there it was. I paid $60!
More finds below the paywall. For $8/month or $80/year, you get full access to four years of archives — that’s twice-a-week deep thrifting guides, under-$100 designer finds, city guides (where I shop, all over the country) resale strategy, and the exact frameworks I use to turn taste into money.
