We both took a Friday off of work and headed to the Gainesville, FL area for a weekend of picking. No big sales this time, just local garage sales and flea markets. Armed with maps, a Garmin, 2 iphones and a Samsung tablet we plotted our route with Craigslist sales and local newspapers. Jeri STILL managed to get us lost. So much for all the new map features - she looked like a air traffic controller with a lap full of devices and screens. And STILL couldn't tell north from west.
The other Picking Sister says I should show more treasures on these posts, so here are some of our favorites from this weekend. Of course there will be a funky signs and sights along the way...

| These squeaky clean party games from the 1950's are hysterical! |
The original drink charms for your parties.
 |
| Jeri loved these teeny tiny rollers - only 2" long. |
 |
| Two of our favorites - dogs AND paint by number! |
 |
| Emmett Kelly was from Savannah so we were thrilled to find this paint by number. |
 |
| This refrigerator magnet is one of a set of 3 we bought at Salvage Sisters. |
 |
| Anyone need a plate? |
Couldn't resist a trip to the Salvage Sisters; one of our favorite spots to wander and shop.
These gals are in Yulee, FL.
 |
| A collection of swizzle sticks from hotels in Miami, FL and Kansas City, MO. |
One of the most amazing places we have ever been is the Horse Retirement Sanctuary we discovered in Alachua. It deserves its own post, so I will add it tonight. Watch our etsy.com site

My daughter is in Gainesville & I know there are some awesome thrift/picking places up in that area. Great post to see!
