Dining Room Design: yard sale

On Saturday, I got the opportunity to shop at the Mile-Long Yard Sale in the booming metropolis of Watertown, Tennessee. I love yard sales. There's always the thrill of the hunt. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimfXzmX8EqV0hBmDf27R6Uq30rQr1TD3hOgD1ASsCaFP6WX5eZs0CjXWdxRon45iWeJ_sDsUxCDGR9fS-3U3f_UMHXC39mhPTPIxjnUntrxB_aerv3qVEBuWaL6q5z1plVDClxqF1JbJia/s1600/IMG_0500.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimfXzmX8EqV0hBmDf27R6Uq30rQr1TD3hOgD1ASsCaFP6WX5eZs0CjXWdxRon45iWeJ_sDsUxCDGR9fS-3U3f_UMHXC39mhPTPIxjnUntrxB_aerv3qVEBuWaL6q5z1plVDClxqF1JbJia/s400/IMG_0500.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">It was actually more like a 13-mile long sale because Watertown is 12 miles off the Interstate, and there were yard sales set up the entire way. There was a lot to see and a lot to eat including an inordinate amount of fried pies (which I have never tried). One kid was even hawking "organic" whoopie pies (I must admit I was intrigued, but not enough to buy one). But, the food vendor that really got my attention was this one:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQLRJmVD_dlU0-bXKhF8cvNAXiqJq2zR9wp9tRh-Zo67TxqHrKWpCBUeVxi71Bvq9Kz4Jod1DtG1uIq5TOnp0S7n2RTQrEpu6wnpqQSJiqm9Ny3RHj7u06XFZ0UWO7Sw_9LzSGDzwQAPy7/s1600/IMG_0501.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQLRJmVD_dlU0-bXKhF8cvNAXiqJq2zR9wp9tRh-Zo67TxqHrKWpCBUeVxi71Bvq9Kz4Jod1DtG1uIq5TOnp0S7n2RTQrEpu6wnpqQSJiqm9Ny3RHj7u06XFZ0UWO7Sw_9LzSGDzwQAPy7/s400/IMG_0501.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Yes, this is the South and apparently we will deep fry anything even Oreos.

The painting was on the ground just propped against a table as an afterthought. I went right to it. It reminds me of a Franz Kline.
