We drove up Wednesday night to stay at the Mentone Springs Hotel. It was built in the 1880's.
We had a small room with a fireplace and a shared bathroom- which turned out OK since we only had to share it with one other couple. We had a huge breakfast (steak, grits, eggs, biscuits) on the wrap around porch.
We headed up to Lookout Mountain, but the yard sales were few and far between. 
It picked up a little after Chattanooga but rain and getting lost wore us out. We decided to turn back to Mentone where we were spending the night at Crystal Lake Lodge.
We were so tired that we fell asleep before dark and slept to the sun was up in the morning!
Our room was the "Forest Room"- it was huge. The bathroom was so cute. It had an outhouse and a waterfall shower.
It was like being at Disney World!
Breakfast was wonderful- pancakes, bacon, coffee cake, fresh fruit grown on the farm. We will be going back- there was a lot to see- llamas, a fishing pond, trails- but we were off on the treasure hunt-
This is going to keep us busy on ebay and etsy for a while!!!!

Glad you had fun! The B&Bs both look really nice. I went on the Longest Yard sale once 12 years ago and swore I'd never do it again. And I haven't. LOL Too hot, too expensive (the things I liked were too much to resell) and.. did I say too hot? ;-)
I hope your cousin sees the milk glass divided dish with gold trim. Everywhere you look here and in WNY those dishes are a dime a dozen. We would laugh every time we saw one. The other items look interesting but I am not certain I would endure the heat to search for them. The B & B's look great. Time to look for a new hobby.
xxoo Lil
Could you please let me know when you list the Rebecca Nurse house plate? Assuming it's the same Rebecca, she was my husband's great great (maybe another great, I dunno)grandmother and was hung as a witch in Salem. I know he'd love to have it!
those 2 little thumb print milk glass glasses are to die for!
wow, that one B&B DID look like Disney World!
Diane- the plate is already on ebay! I tried to email you but I only get an error message!
