Going to a Flea Market
All ready to go, Joy, Eva and myself on a beautiful Saturday. I am in my Saints shirt to show
my true Black and Gold spirit while visiting with Eva and her husband Marvin for two weeks.
While driving to pick up her grandson the other day I noticed a warehouse that had a sign Flea Market Saturday & Sunday. I quickly asked Eva, have you been there and can we go this weekend. She and I now had a plan and she hasn’t been to that flea market yet. So after some terrible weather in this area to wake to a beautiful sunny Saturday was a gift from God. Our friend Joy joined us and the three of us were off. It was big, but not full. There were many finds and a lot of jewelry but some different crafty venders.
I was all into the Pandora bracelets so that was my first stop. There was the owner of the booth Santa’s Claus’et, Tom aka: Santa, who had a child talking to him when we first walked up making sure he was in deed the real Santa. He assured her he would be busy come end of year but needed to work during the off season. He was a joy to talk with and I got this amazing bracelet I just love. Black and gold for the Saints !!! Geaux Saints!!
Pretty pandora style beads from Santa's Claus'et Booth.

I designed my pandora style bracelet
Cool man leg end table. Who would not just want to run out and buy this!!
Eva seemed to like this doll that leans on the wall. I haven't seen one in years.
A cute idea with Mason Jars and candle holders
Just when you think you couldn't do another thing with Mardi Gras beads, lookie here.

I thought nothing else would be a find when a booth had glassware stacked that was made from various bowls, plates, votive cups, candle holders and so on. It was interesting and I’m thinking this is what I would like to redo in my own version.
When my daughter-in-law Holly finds out what she and son Chris are having, I can order
a cute dress or boy outfit. :-)
Here a crafter used old quilts to make into decorative glove and purse wall hangings.
We talked to a few more vendors watching our spending and decided to return again Sunday when we got a call from Eva's hubby saying he was making grilled salmon, roasted asparagus and pesto covered cheese stuffed pasta shells. And to top it off her son Gene stopped in for dinner.
The day ended with us taking in an oldie but goodie movie on Netflix, Wrangler from 1988. It put Marvin fast asleep. Eva and I stayed awake so I guess you could call it more of a chick flick from 1988 then a guys horse wrangling story.
Tomorrow brings more visiting, checking out a new church for us to start and then maybe back to the flea market to pick up a few other finds we had our eyes on.
Have a blessed weekend.
