Thrift Shopping - In the Mountains!

 Twice a year me, my aunt, and an assortment of girl cousins, head to the North Georgia mountains to get away for the weekend. We get away from work, husbands, kids and everyday boredom. We escape to the mountains for fun, relaxation, food and shopping! No malls, no departments stores. Its thrift stores, consignment shops, flea markets, estate sales and yard sales!

On this trip we hit numerous yard sales, several thrift stores, one benefit yard sale/BBQ, an estate sale, and the 4th Annual Loganberry Farm Garlic Festival.

I have a 17 month old grandson (Greyson), and a new grandson (Abel) coming on Sept 4, so I've been mainly looking for stuff for them. Clothes, books, toys. Here is what I found...
