random flea pics

note: if no pics are showing up??
click on the title...

at shows everyone always asks where

i get my typewriters...

well...i flea market every chance i get !

here are just some random pics from

my travels in the last few weeks..

we hit rogers a couple times,

hartville in ohio,

rossi's pop up right here at home,

monogahelia all town yard sale,

vandergrift community sale,highland park community sale,

bull creek fleatique,

wasington fair grounds antique show,

many estate sales...

and i'm sure a few i cant even remember...

all in all...i think i ended up with over 20 typewriters

within a few weekends !

but always looking for more.......

hats tats and this 'n' that

spent the weekend in allentown new york

allentown art festival

and the allen west festival

occur at the same time

the crowds were unreal !

i had never been to this festival before

and wasnt sure what to expect..

i saw more hats and tats than i've seen in quite awhile !

the wonderful thing about this kind of crowd

 is the people watching

i was thinking of a theme for this post

and hats and tats seemed appropriate...

most of these folks had both !

and i loved the outfits !

well...so much for the people..

as for the art...........the allentown festival was so huge..
if you ever get the chance...you could easily spend the day

i was way too busy to take my time

but early before it started

i walked the show...well actually ran the show

if you look close in the above pic, you can see how long

the rows of tents are..

and this is only one of about 5 streets !!

these are just some of the things that struck me

we also enjoyed the location just a bit

all in all

a wonderful trip

financially

one of my top shows ever..

i will be back

thanks to all the crazy, wonderful, colorful,

interesting people we met who allowed me

to photograph them.......

i love the diversity

i love the originality

i love the people who know themselves and dont

care what others think

thanks allentown..

see you next year !

and on a side note...

my lovely talented, intelligent, athletic, beautiful granddaughter

graduated high school this week.

she is the first in the generation of our family !

we love you STAR

congrats and best wishes for your future !
