S*P*R*I*N*G was in-the-air @ GRAYSLAKE FLEA...

Here in the Midwest, "WEATHER" - is always a concern when selling at a Antique/Flea Event - even if it's mostly indoors...  This past weekend at the Flea - GRAYSLAKE, ILLINOIS, WE COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR BETTER WEATHER - **Just GoRgeOuS** - high 60's & Sunny!*!*!  Needless to say, this combo yielded a GREAT TURNOUT, & they were BUYING...  Lot's of ViNtaGE GARDEN was showcased in many a booth ~ including mine!!! 

 I really worked-it this past weekend,

not being able to load up the van till Friday Morning... 

  • Unloading at the Fairgrounds just hours later...

  • Setting up till 8 pm on Friday Night...

  • 2 days of SeLLiNg... 

  • Packing it up...

  • 6 Trips back & forth -OMG!*!*!

 From my personal collection...

First of the Season ~ KANE COUNTY FLEA MARKET - Illinois...

Sleeting Snow... COLD Temperatures... Wind...

  Not the best conditions for opening day at the Kane County Flea Market in St. Charles, Illinois!!!  HOWEVER ~ it most certainly did not keep ShoPPers away - IT WAS JUST MOBBED!*!*!

All Us "Die-Hard" ShoPPers Battled the Elements...

It was just miserable walking in between the "5" Buildings filled with dealers...

There were a "handful" of CRaZy OutSide Vendors!!! ~ or should I say BRAVE???

OMG!*!*!  This FaB FiNd found me "Weak-In-The-Knees"...

This piece is soooooo Anthro!!!

Late 1800's Brass Frame with ornate floral motif applique...  

The AwEsoMe Tin Center has The BeSt-Ever Natural Time-Worn Rusty Patina!!!

I'll be HANGING THIS ONE - On-The-Wall, accented by

  CHaNdeLier- B*L*I*N*G, ~ dripping with prisms!*!*!

 You can't be everywhere at once...

Such was the case here...  Sad-To-Say, the RED SOLD DOT got there before me...

I'm just "vamping" over this one!*!*!

 I just loved these...

 It was such a pleasure to run into these 3 Creative Ladies!*!*!

EVERYONE was bundled up for The Hunt!!!

 Lot's of SPRING InSpiRAtion could be seen...

I even met a few NEW VENDORS...

 This was just a Killer-Piece!*!*!

I had to wait quite a while to snap a pic in Rosemary's Booth ~ it was so mobbed with people that you couldn't see her stuff!!!

I ShoPPed the Market BOTH Saturday & Sunday...  ~ and was glad I did!*!*!  I'm always so CraZed on the First Day...  I ran into sooooo many of YOU who read my Blog - but had little time to Chit-Chat - being FOCUSED ON-THE-HUNT...  SUNDAY was much more relaxed - taking my time - talking to vendors...  I even netted a few special finds that were still there to be had...

**The Crunch Is On - For Me**
