Opening day at the Fleamarket

Last Sunday my friend Deanna asked if I wanted to go to the fleamarket.

I have so much to do this time of year that

I normally would have said no.

…..but the season is off to a slow start because the

weather isn’t warm enough for everyone.

I know I don’t understand it either:0

So I thought

yeah what the heck.

The place was sure hopping….more people then I’ve ever seen there

but it is the first one of the season.

you may recognize these…..old windows turned into little greenhouses.

Deanna has similar ones in her shop Gather in Ivoryton.

They’ve been selling really well.

I even  met a blogger and didn’t even know it.

You never know when you’ll be in the presents of one  : )

Actually Debra from Vintage Vixens  got to met her that day.

It wasn’t until I checked out Lisa’s blog that I recognized her booth.

You can go over to her blog….Serendipity Chic Design….and tell her I said hi.

there were little poodles

to big 6 foot foo dogs

Of course I would notice this cat doorstop

with the sweetest eyes

Even at a fleamarket I take pictures of flowers.

This dealer sold mostly vintage toys.

Said he had done really well even by mid morning and had very little left to sell.

This must be an old box…….5 cents?

actually inside there were vintage egg cups.

Might have been cute for using at Easter time.

Now I think of it:)

Now the junk shopping was fun but the best part of the day

was our little tailgate picnic in the field where we parked.

We met up with some of Deanna friends at the end of our shopping.

Everything was delicious …

the cheeses, the baguettes, the olives, egg salad, string bean salad, salami and

homemade bread

don’t you just love this wire basket?

and did I mention Champagne?

Yeah I could do this every week!

but alas I will be working every Sunday for awhile.

I hope my customers know what I’m giving up to be with them…(smile)

I’ll try to post what I bought soon.

(…first I have to get it out of my car.)
