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

  4. Jeanne, first I am jealous because I grew up in Monroeville (many years ago) and would love to trek the area with you. IF you ever see ANYTHING with Brown Dairy Company East Pittsburgh on it, shoot me a email. That was my father's dairy plant (processing not cows) from the 1800's until 1977, when it closed. The store next to it was in the family also (Brown's Dairy Store) until 1994. I would kill for signs or anything.
    That said, man there is some great stuff up there. Those turquoise drawers, and the red ones. I KNOW you had fun.

  5. So jealous! I haven't been to Rodgers since I was really little, but did get a chance to head out this past weekend to a couple (much smaller) local fleas. Loving all of your pictures!

  6. Do you have information on the musical instrument you purchased. It looks like a Marx Music Company piece made in New Troy Michigan and peddled from door to door by salesmen from 1927 to 1972. This was a colony that made unique musical instruments. I am from a small town near New Troy.
