Tomorrow I will be going on an excursion with some good friends to enjoy there company and visit a flea market in Upstate New York. I wonder what I'll wear??? The weather will most likely be warm and there will be many people who will also be bustling through the aisles looking for that diamond in the rough, that last part of the puzzle they've been looking for. Surely I won't be the only one hoping to find the perfect thing that will tickle my fancy and the winner of the Give Away.
I will wear comfortable footwear to be able to easy the length of distance that must be mapped. I do want to look fashionable, as I want to make a good impression on my hostess.
I think these will do fine. Understated but elegant. Maybe no one will notice the stains :)
I will wear my finest of garments. This one is not too cumbersome and I will ease through the crowds with nothing but a light graze by passersby.
A small purse to hold my essentials but a large carriage to hold everything else.

There will be so many pretty things to look at and buy.
Maybe I will find some fine periodicals to bring back to the lakehouse. It's always important to keep up on the weather and latest crop schedules even for a lady. We can sit and read them to one another after dinner.

Always interesting to read about and see the latest fashion too.
Some sparkly jewelry to add to a hat or gown.
We will undoubtedly be tired but it will be wonderful and comforting to slip on my nightie and lie on cool white sheets and dream of another glorious day spent with good friends...
We will light candles and drink wine and relive our day.....each one of us with a different story to tell. We will stay up late, but not too late for we will need to rest up for the next day of shopping .
Who knows what we'll find. We'll hear interesting stories from all the vendors of where their items have come from. The history that these pieces posses.

I am giggling right now....imagining you in that gown with your white shoes while the rest of us are down and dirty in our jeans and T shirts! I just can't wait to peruse those periodicals in the evening....dying to know those crop schedules! This is going to be one wild weekend! I put your Give Away front and center and will have fun with you looking for all things Jeanne D'Arc Living like!! Can't wait!! :)
I second that! I just watched Little Women and couldn't help but think of life with a gown on again........ahh...so feminine!
can't wait to see what you get, but really: safe travels and you'll be in my prayers for a safe journey......
cheers!
You will be the Belle of the flea market! ;)
Happy Hunting,

What an absolutely lovely post... I believe my favorites are the vintage almanacs... actually, they are all my favorites...
Tous ces choses sont jolies! Bons temps a la marche demain!
I hope that all made sense :) What beautiful images to help focus your search!
That was so charming and entertaining. It reminds me of a time in college when I wrote a letter to a friend as if i were from the 18th century. She loved that and it was fun to write.
Carole!!I think that you will look lovely tomorrow!!!I think that everyone, instead of looking for preasures, will look at you , so it is a very good strategy!!
Have fun,drink wine for me too!!

Oh Carole, this is my favourite post...maybe ever. I love that creamy white old lace and those shoes...I actually would wear them if they were comfortable. And the old Almanac...my Dad used to love reading the predictions in it..and the nightie and the jewelery...it's all a cocofone of Edwardian creamyness !!! Have a wonderful time, all of you and come back and tell us all about it. XXXX
