I squeezed in a little last minute "FLEA-SHoPPinG" - yesterday ~ at KANE COUNTY, in St. Charles, IL
before Urban Farmgirl's Main Street Market
Next Saturday, May 10th in Rockford, IL
***********
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...
Industrial Lockers
SHaBBy Sightings...
*Almost* Bought the SHIP...
For a Show I'll be doing
Up in Door County, Wisconsin,
ON JULY 12th
LOCATION: Bailey's Harbor
- in a park that skirts the water!*!*!
This would have been just S*W*E*E*T for
someone's Waterfront Cottage Home...
Kathy goes All-Out with display!!!
She mixes in a small amount of original vintage,
along with her more recently painted ones...
OMG ~ B*E*S*T...
Most FaVoRiTe Sighting!*!*!
This Dealer ALWAYS has such Unique
ViNtaGe Items in ORIGINAL, AS-FOUND
Conditon!*!*!
Even her S*O*L*D TAG is ViNtaGe!*!*!
A*N*D... Last but not least,
ThAnK Y*O*U So Much for
A*L*L* your "Well~Wishes" on My
ViNtaGe GaRdeNs Magazine Feature!!!
Hi Jeanine,
ReplyDeleteI got to the flea when it opened and it was not crowded at all until later on when we were almost finished it got pretty crowded. I found some great chippies in Kathy's booth. It was a great day on Saturday for the flea market. I cannot wait to see what you have next week end. I am excited for Mary at Urban Farm GIrl's show. See you soon.
