***********

AQUA-BLUE, MIXED WITH WHITE 

WAS THE "HOT" COLOR AT THE FLEA!!!

Aside from the WIND, the weather was AwEsoMe!!!

  A mix of Sun & Clouds with temps in the low 60's...  Initially there was a good crowd waiting as the Gates Opened, but oddly enough, in my opinion - it seemed to "thin-out" by mid afternoon, instead of getting busier...

******

My FaVoRiTe Dealers did not disappoint at the flea!!!  

FINALLY ~ the FLOW of new "ViNtaGe Finds" is hitting the MARKET!!!  It's been quite a SLOW-START this Season, due to the cold hard winter here in the midwest... 

 I netted a few "Select Shabbies" ~ but for me, I was disappointed at the increase of  entire booths with newly painted furniture,  made in china adornments, & business advertising booths...

 ViNtaGe Metal Folding Chairs

with Original Paint... 

I saw them being hauled-out later that day... 

 Judy had the Sweetest

 ViNtaGe Metal Drawer Cubby Cabinet

 in Original ChiPPy Light Blue Paint...

 The sun was shinning so ~ I couldn't

 pick up it's true color...

 someone's Waterfront Cottage Home...

 Kathy goes All-Out with display!!!

 along with her more recently painted ones...

OMG ~ B*E*S*T...
