B*A*C*K from SeLLiNg SHaBBies - ELKHORN FLEA - Wisconsin
~** THanK Y*O*U **~
ChiPPy-SHaBBy SHoPPeRs
for finding me in my "New Indoor Booth Space"
at this PAST WEEKEND'S August Elkhorn Flea Market in Wisconsin...
Inside... -Or- Outside... Booth???
After 2 consecutive years of challenging weather at this particular market, we opted to NOW SELL INSIDE a building. Upon arriving shortly before 5am on Sunday morning, we were "thankful" being inside a building - it was RAINING... HOWEVER, after a couple hours - the weather turned, making for a Fab OUTDOOR DAY to shop the flea!
Y*E*S, we did so very much miss being OutDoors!!!
Despite having "2 open entrances" to our building, we missed feeling the breeze...
people watching... & most of all, seeing what finds were rolling by on everyone's carts!!!
Having a full back wall was nice to hang items on,
but I still missed HANGING Shabbies from the Outside Tent...
