I had such a blast at the Worlds Longest Yard Sale this year. I took lots of photos of my friends booth and I will do a blog post on that next week!
I was so proud of myself for not going 'overboard' and really loving all that I found!
My first find set me back one dollar!
I have few of these jars in several colors. This is the largest one I have and I love this color!
At the same booth I found this McCoy pottery piece...its a peach color and unusual.
If someone knows the age of this mark I would love to know!
I KNOW!! I've been downsizing but these two wine glasses were only 25 cents each and it was church sale and so yes I bought them!
I also bought two little cars for Tiger but they are already at his house!
I did find these two rolling pins! I didn't have one and I love the chippy red paint on the handle. The little one is for Tiger when we bake and was 25 cents! Mine was $3 and a bargain I thought!
Next I went to Kathy and Jeff's booth and I must say they had the most awesome stuff!
This is what I bought!
I love these two bowls! Hazel Atlas Moderntone platonite pastel pink cream soup bowls!
I have already put these in my kitchen cabinets!
This lone pink wineglass needed a home!
This chalk painted pale pink frame is going to have Paris photos in it soon!
I am so in love with this table! The rain did some damage to the paint job but I will just paint it again! Kathy I love this and it looks fabulous in my bedroom!
Now my favorite WLYS find was really a sweet gift from my friend Kathy. She had made some pillows and when I walked up to the booth this one jumped in my hands!
Made from an old chenille bedspread, Kathy added these sweet flowers!
Kathy insisted that it was a gift!
I love it and soon I'll share how perfect it is in my bedroom makeover!
I bought a few other items but they are gifts and so I can't share them.
Now for the giveaway!
All of these little items just called to me!
I hope you like them! How to win?
Just leave a comment and included the words
'ENTER ME' .
I'll choose a winner on Saturday August 10th
I would love it if you are a follower of A La Carte but it's not a requirement. However you must include the words "Enter Me" in your comment!
I'm joining these fun parties this week
Wishing you JOY,
Linda

Sounds like so much fun! You found lots of goodies. Especially the McCoy piece - I'm drooling!
ENTER ME!!
Lots of fun things.

Great photos, you made my pillow look lovely! We finished packing up stuff and taking down tents last night. It will take me a few days to recover! So glad you came to see us and I can't wait to visit you after your wonderful Paris trip. It will be here before you know it. Blogging has introduced me to some wonderful ladies......I am so blessed!
Oh yes, Enter Me! Love all your pretty treasures Linda, the chenille pillow is adorable. Sounds like you had a wonderful time.
Hi Linda.....So happy you had fun. Great finds. I'm going to let the giveaway go to someone else, though. Trying to be good about not accumulating too much more!! ha! Take care, Linda, and thanks for sharing. Susan
Such great stuff, Linda. Love the green glasses and rolling pins, and the peach McCoy. Glad you had a great time. I'm not entering because I am in the same boat as Brenda! That little birdie siting on the mold is very cute, though! xo
What fun! I am in love with the set of "grandma and me" rolling pins! And the pillow that just "jumped into your hands!" LOL That is lovely with the flower accents.
I will opt out of the contest tho, so someone who has room for your sweet little collection can win it. I own so many charming things like those that belonged to my mom or grandmas. Your winner will be delighted!
You are so lucky to have been able to do some shopping at the WLYS!!!! Love all the prize finds but the table is my favorite!
Paris is around the corner!!!!
You found some very pretty things!! Sure wish I could get my act together and have you as a partner in the antique mall down the street here!! You have the greatest things!!
What a darling pillow! Fun finds!
WOW, your trip is coming up quickly! I'm so excited for YOU!
Warmly,
deb
Great finds, Linda! It sounds like you had a wonderful time! xo Nellie
Love seeing what you found and added to your home. I am not entering either, my collections are taking over all my space. My fav was that vintage rolling pin, nice paint design on the handles.

All great fines...I especially love the pillows made from an old chenille bedspread. I have a chair I covered with one.
I love to see what you find at the WLYS. I have my little white pitcher on display in the kitchen - my win in your giveaway from a few years ago!

wow you found some really great stuff, I adore that lovely lone pink stemmed glass...and the two pink bowls and of course the rolling pins, such good finds..you did a great job of picking some good stuff...come on over for a visit..
Please ENTER ME. Love all your finds Linda. Esp the Hazel Atlas, pink glass, pillow, and table. Looks like you had fun! Oh and the rolling pins! Take care - Dawn
What great finds and really good prices! I especially love all the pink treasures. :). I won't ask you to enter me in your contest. Like you, I'm trying to downsize my possessions. That's why I've been staying away from yardsales. Because if I found the things you found at such great prices, I would have bought them. I'm so weak!
I look forward to your post featuring your friend's booth.
I've always wanted to go the world's largest yard sale and love seeing posts on it. You found some great things!
ENTER ME
Oh, Linda! What great finds! I adore that lone pink stem - I am a sucker for pink, vintage glassware!
Wish I could make that fabulous yard sale some day!
those pink bowls are so different, I think they're my favorite of your purchases. so glad you had fun!
The chenille pillow is so lovely Linda! And the McCoy and Hazel Atlas and the rolling pins and...oh...all of it!!! You found such great items and deals!! I can't wait to see your Paris photo in the frame! SOON!
Just wanted to stop by and ask if you could write a post for the End of Summer Read-A-Thon. That way I can link everyone's posts up, in the introduction post tommorrow. Thank you!
