Today we went driving along the 127 Corridor Sale. This sale is billed as the “World's Longest Yardsale,” averaging 654 miles long, starting in West Unity, Ohio and continuing southward to Gadsden, Alabama. Today we were hoping to have a shot at finding some undiscovered treasure, of course at a giveaway price. I could envision myself on The Antiques Roadshow describing how I bought my treasure at this sale... and how little I paid for such a valuable item...We started in Covington, KY at Main Strasse and drove about 40 miles south trying to locate that hidden “treasure.” It was rather interesting to see all the stuff lined up on tables for sale. Yes, junk to costume jewelry, used shoes to colored glass, postcards to beautiful antiques, and everything in between. The sale had something that could appeal to every taste. Whether collector, a person searching for nostalgia or a first-time treasure hunter, you could find something to pique your interest at the sale.
After several hours on the road, and the laying of hands on over a hundred items, we found nothing that met our requirements for undiscovered treasure. Then, at the last stop along our trek, I spied something interesting… An overlooked treasure just laying there, unnoticed. "Hold on a minute," I whispered to myself. The price was right… one dollar...
Slowly shaking my head yes, and biting my lip, I decided to buy it. I didn’t even try to haggle on the price. It may not qualify as a treasure to anyone else, and you probably won't see it on The Antiques Roadshow, but I knew Amy would love it.
Anything to do with Elvis is always a treasure to Amy!
