It was actually more like a 13-mile long sale because Watertown is 12 miles off the Interstate, and there were yard sales set up the entire way. There was a lot to see and a lot to eat including an inordinate amount of fried pies (which I have never tried). One kid was even hawking "organic" whoopie pies (I must admit I was intrigued, but not enough to buy one). But, the food vendor that really got my attention was this one:
Yes, this is the South and apparently we will deep fry anything even Oreos. Heaven help us. I did not try these either. I stuck with a hot dog and Coke.
Now, onto what you really want to see . . . the loot. I didn't take photos as I shopped because I was too hot and distracted. So, here are my finds displayed in my dining room . . .

The two black bird pieces of art are actually needlepoint on linen and very pretty. I've always seen the ceramic glove mold forms for sale so I thought they could go nicely in the booth. Who doesn't need an extra hand? Ha. The green pottery dish called to me because it resembles malachite, which I have been seriously lusting after lately.

After doing a little research on the marking on the back of the dish, it turns out it is Blue Mountain Pottery (BMP) from Canada and is popular among pottery collectors. I just thought it was pretty.
Oh, and the last thing I found was this black lacquer, brass and mirrored side table . . .
Isn't she glamorous? Just have to dust her off and shine her up a bit.
Some other loot I found earlier in the week that will also make an appearance at the booth soon . . .
this large abstract and this really pretty blue ceramic and brass lamp.
Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Oh I'm crazy over the artwork and that mirrored side table- will definitely be checking back!
Excellent buys!
I was hoping we'd run into eachother but i think you were further ahead than me. Great finds. This year wasn't as good. Seems like there weren't enough vendors. Anyways let's hope we sold quite a bit to move the new loot in!
How do you stop yourself from keeping everything?! Wish I lived close so I could snatch it all up from your booth. Great finds!
OH WOW! First fried oreos then awesome art? It's too much goodness for one post. Can I call dibs on the Kline-esque painting? Do you ship? (Seriously)
That sounds like a ridiculous amount of fun and yes, we Southerners will fry anything!
I love that framed black abstract!
How much fun! I don't know if you would have been able to ply me away from the fried oreo booth but assuming you could looks like there were tons of goodies to score! What a fun day!!
Great scores, Kathy! Hope your stuff is flying off the shelves!
What fun! Love to find a bargain. That mirrored top table is amazing!!!! Great finds!!!
Fun!! Great loot. Love your mirrored side table. Chic anywhere!
So many fine treasures can be found on yard sales, that's why I love them so much...
Those fried oreos are kind of interesting,
I would've tried it if I was there ♥
Fried ______ Oreos! AYKM? Bam! I love Oreos. Great finds...It might be hard to let go of some of that stuff!
How fun! I would be in heaven at a 13 mile long yard sale. Great finds!
Okay you had me at fried oreos! Well I just like fried food - batter anything and I will love it! Speaking of love, I really like the abstract b/w art. I am really drawn to abstract art right now.
And thanks for stopping by the blog! I truly appreciate the patronage :)
The Ashtray Is Awesome !!!!
