Since you couldn't join me sister I took Kate. I thought it would be a good mother daughter outing. Hmm. So I wasn't looking for anything in particular. And I decided that unless I find something that will make things function better at home it probably isn't needed. Less is more?
But I just love going ~ you never know what kind of bargain you're going to find. I love that the venue is outdoors. I am always ready for a hot dog at 10:00 am. And I think it is cool that biplanes fly overhead {think country}. Here are some of my picks:
Jewelry - $5.00 aqua beads and a $3.00 gold necklace with little diamond balls
Wallet - vintage {or fake} Louis Vuitton
Industrial Stool - metal base painted blue with a wood top - LOVE IT!
Display stand - "Tom's Potato Chips" - includes 4 shelves and I'm using it in my mudroom for miscellaneous catch-alls
Did you ever go fleaing, waffle on an item and leave it behind? Then you can't stop thinking about it. I've done it many times. But I think something worse happened to me on this trip. I was eyeballing a green industrial desk lamp. Right up my alley. But it wasn't necessarily needed {refer back to second paragraph} and it wasn't dirt cheap. So I stepped away to think about it. I walked the stool back to my car and as I was walking back past the vendor, two guys had every industrial lamp from this booth on a table ready to be purchased. I was pissed!!!
Then, the display stand I bought did not fit in my trunk. I did a pinky swear with myself that I would not shove crusty old antiques in the back seat of my new car. Sure enough, it happened. I carefully covered all leather seats with blankets and propped up the stand with yoga mats so it wouldn't wobble back and forth. Yikes.
Wish you were there sister, you never know what those eyes of yours will spot. Hope you can join me in June!
