The Cranky Queen & King Are Hitting the Highway and Need Your Travel Assistance ~ Got Maps?? Got Directions?? Got Advice??

The Cranky King & Queen are planning a "summer getaway", & need some assistance with finding the "coolest places to see", "greatest  backwood junkin' spots", "the most interesting & entertaining", etc...as we travel toward St. Louis, MO from the Birmingham, AL area.  Sooooooooo, we need all blog friends that live in Tennessee or Illinois off I-24 W or I-64 W into East Missouri to give us a shout out on anything along the way that may "spark our interest" or "you gotta see this status" & if you have great trip ideas once we arrive in St. Louis...we would appreciate the travel knowledge.

Have Car...Will Drive... Brake for Junk!
King Cranky is driving, so a map is required!

Speaking of driving, I convinced King Cranky to escort me to some Estate & Rummage Sales yesterday in Birmingham.
This was his response at first...Can you tell he is a little Cranky?

But his expression changed to "ecstatic excitement" when I bribed him with a promise to go out to eat & to the movie (X-Men)
 And these are some of the items that we found yesterday & then today when I thrifted solo....
Don't you love the aqua color of this vintage suitcase???
Older Fun Disney Tray...so 70's!
Kleenex box, footed mirror & great carved frame...The Queen loves her "gold"!

Timeless decoupaged tin & older knives
 White hanging basket & glass coke bottle~Daisies added & ya gotta simple summer bouquet!
50's Wooden jewelry box, McCoy planter, primitive garden shovel & ceramic egg with a precious verse on it

Rooster cross stitch,  mason jar with old dresser hardware, cool enamel fridge bin, denim blue jean frame

Minerva Men's Book...Blast from the Past
Aqua vintage booster chair, little oriental picture, china lid & old costume jewelry
We hope to hear from some of ya'll junkin' travelers...Any information would be royally appreciated.
Until then, the Cranky Queen will be waiting to go...
