It was a perfect spring day for being outdoors and all of the campers were tricked out with vintage themes inside and out. The Tybee Campground made a natural spot for a rally (actually a fundraiser for several charities) and everyone there was really a happy camper!</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last weekend we made our third trip to the Peachtree Highway Sale near Lexington, SC. Peach orchards line the highway and small towns like Monetta, Ward, Johnson, Batesville-Leesburg and </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ridge Springs enjoy the extra business.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I recently read an article about the Little Free Libraries and was very excited to see one in Ridge Springs. A place to get and give a free book.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The biggest draw for us was the Bio Bay. We joined 16 other double kayaks out into the pitch black water with our guide to see one the world's last bioluminescent bays. The water lights up in a moonstone green everywhere the water is touched by the kayak, the paddle or your hand. When you pull your hand out of the water, it looks as if there are diamonds dripping from it. No photos can capture it, but the memories of a starlit night and watching fish light up the water are worth the dreaded taking </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">off of the shoes for the TSA.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We went on a highway sale yesterday close to home. The Peaches to Beaches sale starts about an hour and a half from Savannah, so up and out in the cold and dark! Jeri would like to share her favorite pick of the for herself and share a few of the treats she uses to decorate her own home sweet home.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>SUPER NEWS!</strong> The picking sisters are closing one etsy shop and expanding another one. Everything on </span><a href="http://etsy.com/shop/mysistersbarn"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">etsy.com/shop/mysistersbarn</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> is half price! We will be loading tons of new vintage items in the next week or so at </span><a href="http://etsy.com/shop/pickingsisters"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">etsy.com/shop/pickingsisters</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. We'll also reduce the items on the pickingsisters shop as we add oodles of new things to the shop.</span></div>

Lucky us! We headed to Florida for New Year's Eve. Edgewater, Florida is south of Daytona Beach. The beach was lovely, the weather mild and the picking was grand.</div>

We watched fireworks on New Smyrna Beach and courtesy of our hosts rang in 2013 with their homemade Comquat Vodka made from their own kumquats. (My picking sister was calling it "kumquat poison" the next morning.)<br />
<br />
The flea market at the Deland Fair Grounds was a great find. We found the most paint by number paintings we'd ever found at ONE location. Check them out - a large lighthouse, a large western desert and a pretty pair of ballerinas.<br />

Mine has etsy items to be photographed, mailing supplies, my cats and boxes and boxes of old files.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's still really slow (TOO HOT) for finding many sales, so I have really spent more time tending to my garden. Now that summer is coming to an end, I have made a report card for myself. Some efforts </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">were spectacular successes (sunflowers and four o'clocks), others were total failures (poppies). Enjoy the bright colors of the sunflowers, zinnias, wildflowers, four o'clocks and morning glories.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Picking Sisters have two trips coming up to NC and to Florida, so the next post will be the vintage treasures we all love. (P.S. -Scroll to the end to see a recent sign score!)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When we were little one of our favorite things to do in the summer was picking four o'clock flowers and stringing them on a vine to make lei.

Note to self: <em>READ the seed packets next year.</em></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the 3rd year we have traveled to Lexington, South Carolina for a short highway sale. The Highway Peachtree 23 runs 40 miles from Leesville to Batesburg to Monetta to Ridge Spring to Johnston to Edgefield. The highway is lined with peach orchards, corn fields and pecan groves. You may never have heard of any of these towns, but Edgefield produced 10 South Carolina governors! These small friendly towns with their flag-lined Main Streets are everything you'd like to believe still exists. And what did we find there?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Is there a more optimistic thing to do than planting a garden from seed? If the birds don't carry away the seeds, the dog will dig up the plants. Too much or too little water. Too much or too little sun. Soil too tired. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Too many weeds or bugs or mysterious plant diseases. Even so, this is my hopeful garden and every morning there is some happy surprise waiting. New growth or a bloom or a seedling just peeking up out of the dirt. My hope has already been rewarded.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We were picking in High Springs, FL when Jeri read in a local magazine that there was a horse sanctuary in nearby Alachua. Fascinated by the idea of a retirment home for horses, Jeri did her best to locate Mill Creek Farm on County Road 235A, but we found it anyway! Cost of admission? Carrots. Seriously, carrots.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These animals have been neglected or abused or unwanted. They spend their last years on 600 acres of tree-lined pastures. No more work or suffering - just love, good care and lots of carrots. The blind ones were amazing and they came to the fence for treats just like the others! It was hard to tell whether the horses or the visitors enjoyed themselves more.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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. </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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...</span><br />

We are tickled to see warm weather because that means more highway sales and festivals! The Peaches to Beaches sale runs from Fort Valley, GA (peach country) to Brunswick, GA on the coast. Nice folks, good prices and the laughs pick right up where we left off in 2011. Hope you'll enjoy seeing our new treasures!<br />
