On the road again at 10:00 am we knew today would be the day to find treasures, well we came upon a parking lot with people selling tools, clothes and generally old shit. We found little and were directed to the Amvet Thrift Store. The treasures were few but we are hunters and Vicki found mermaid glasses, Colleen found a crazy, colorful, Italian silk tie and Judy found some good books.
So back to the trail, our route dead ended at a detour to no where with no direction to go. We stopped to ask which direction we should go to find 11and a slow talking man tried to direct us through town we don't think he knew where he was, so we turned on Lola the GPS and we ended up driving a very, very, in the back woods road. After seeing the beautiful green scenery of the mountainside and baby animals finally hungry and needing gas we happened upon a country gas station and diner. We had a good meal bbq pork and steak and the people were nice enough to give us right directions to our 11 road.
We were very excited to find two shops on the route, the Flea Market Shop and Cave Creek Antiques. Treasures were definitely there, a nice lady with a real southern drawl sold us some good stuff and up on the top of the hill at Cave Creek, we met Kim and she gave us great deals. Vicki found some glass and jewels and Judy found a Hoosier cabinet to put in her booth back home and its very unusual that Colleen bought nothing. We loaded the cabinet into the so far empty trailer so we hope this is a good sign that we will fill it up on the way down the trail.
Kim told to visit the town of Sweetwater just up the road a bit, by the way Kim was the first one to recognize the Antique Alley route 11 sales, finally. Heirloom Antiques was the next and last stop for the day, big place but we are really want to put our feet up for the night and have a cocktail or two. Major appliances update two portable dishwashers, entire living room set and fridge on porches.
We are very optimistic tomorrow thanks to Kim that we have found the antique alley, flea market tomorrow opens at 8 am. Judy blogged tonight.
