since i know you were wishin' you were with me..

here are some of the highlights

this is what rogers flea looks like on a good day:

seriously... have you ever seen one of these ??

it was too cool for words !

 

 

 
now that's how you pack a truck for the flea...

 

turquoise AND numbers .... hold me back !

 

 

button button who's got the button ?

 

  

country store stuff

and always windows !!

 

  

 

you do have to get up pretty early to get the good stuff...

that my friends is the moon still up...

 

 just look at the wear on the leather straps of these bells...

i'd say they've been around the block a time or two

i think that what i love about a flea most is the mix of things..

totally mid century modern chairs next to an ancient record player

i cant possible show you how large the flea is in hartville

for the holiday they have what they call an extravaganza 

there were about 1200 vendors

 

 

this pic is a tiny section

giant dick and jane story book

lots and lots of goodies

 

these.....(dont ask)

the old tyme marketplace

childs formica table set..........awesome !

 if there had been room in the truck . .

this chandy would have come home with us,

hold it in my lap all the way home !

you could even buy some new duds there !!

i love globes..especially odd color ones - like white !

 

and added pleasure was that there was a 

hometalk meet up on sunday !!
