Nebraska Junk Jaunt

 My husband and I just got back from the Nebraska Junk Jaunt. It's still going on and will be tomorrow too. We left Friday morning and didn't see even half of what was out there. It's over 300 miles of yard sales, estate sales, junk... 
 buckets of buckles...

 We started in Cairo and could have spent the day there. We did see Hobbin and Julie there,  but headed North on Hwy 2 because I knew I'd see them next weekend at the Liberty House Fall Market Festival...
 Look at this beautiful label dispenser shelf cabinet thing.
 
 Part of my stash...
 Part of Tim's stash.
 More of my stash:
 Still more.
 The boots and leather jacket are for Larry and Kira... look at that jacket!
It was a fun time - we ended up in Broken Bow... next year we'll take the North Route and end up in Burwell. Either way - it's cowboy country out there, and they have some good junk. We drove 375 miles!

I do have an award I would like to present. It's for the WORST ad in the Junk Jaunt Shopper Guide:
Joe of Hazard, Next year you might want to reword your ad:
"Fill Your Trunk With Joe's Junk" kept us laughing all day. Thank you.

Please tell me you brought that jacket home. Please please please. There is nothing fancier than a fringed leather jacket - unless it's wooly chaps. I swoon for a cowboy in wooly chaps.
