Along with the cool, crisp temperatures comes Autumn road trips!
Julie & I recently hit one of our favs, the
It runs about 400 miles from the border of Missouri , across Kansas to the Colorado border. We've done sections of the flea market run over the years, but have yet to complete its entirety.
Sometimes we've treasure hunted in group caravans, but mostly it's just Julie & me doing a Girls Road Trip!
I no longer hunt for resale, so my purchases are usually for my personal collections or smaller pieces for creating artwork.
Here's our recent 36 Treasure Hunt road trip
Some sales were up driveways directly on Highway 36
While other sales were a bit off the beaten path in farm country.
We saw several rural homes that had awesome backyard entertaining areas; however, today they were filled with treasures.
And some sales were back in the cornfields
Most small towns along Highway 36 offered city-wide sales like this city building full of treasures.
While prices have increased over the years, good deals
can still be found.
My treasure hunt prices ranged .10 - $5.00 each.

Here are my treasures for the day
Awesome Lucite & Bakelite butterfly pin!
Fun, vintage Sarah Coventry owl mesh bracelet
I'm hoping this is a Mandarin Hat button!!
I need to do more research as I have never seen one that is only brass filigree with no gemstone.
These pieces should make great frames for some artsy project.
This sky indicated it was time to cut our hunt short and head home
By the time Julie dropped me off and she headed home, she drove home during a tornado.
Yikes, what we'll do for a good treasure hunt!
