Day One Hundred Forty Six 2012

A Day At The Nashville Flea Market
0525021209
It was so hot today at the Nashville Flea Market, all this silverware could have melted and you would have had enough to build a small car. Actually, this vendor was lucky to be in an air conditioned building.

I love old shoes. These were baby shoes. No pesky laces to tie.
0525021211a
It seems an entire American Indian tribe was for sale. I remember they used to sell dolls like these in Cherokee, North Carolina, back in the day when I was growing up near the Smoky Mountains.
0525021212
I like top hats. It would be fun to wear one.
0525021213
Calla lilies for sale. These were an awesome dark pink that a picture just doesn’t do justice.
0525021216
Lots of garden stuff for sale and slowly withering in the heat. You can find a good variety of flowers, bushes and trees here. If you’re in the market for growing things.

This produce was yummy looking, especially the peaches, but my peach-loving hubby Neil walked on by. Go figure. He probably just didn’t want to carry them around.
0525021218a
This vendor had one of the most colorful booths I’ve ever seen. The painted furniture looks good enough to eat.
0525021219
Ninety nine dollars? Really? For this cement bunny garden ornament with a broken left ear? Really?
0525021219b
Wonder if anybody ever bought that big ole Buddha head? This booth always has interesting stuff. They’ll tell you it’s from Romania or some such. Whatever, dude.

It was apparently top hat day at the flea market. Wonder where this one has been, and whose head did he sit on…..
0525021226
See? Top hat day. Even Paul and Linda were stylin.
0525021230
Hubby Neil checking out the cuff links. He loves them. Sometimes he buys them. But not today. No peaches. No cuff links.
0525021233a
Smells like teen spirit from the fifties. Let’s do the twist. I think the cases had 45’s in them but I didn’t look.
0525021241
Lady Liberty, probably melting in the sun. I know I was.
0525021243
Election year campaign buttons
0525021243a
Skeleton keys galore…and skate keys….and clock keys…..I’m always attracted to these.
0525021247
Guess I’ll always have a love affair with typewriters, especially the really old ones.
0525021247a
Some long ago little girl’s well-loved baby dolls.
0525021300
Gratuitous self-portrait of me melting in the heat at the flea market.
0525021302
Need a hand?
0525021303
I told Neil that this elephant looked like he was doing the Fig Newton dance.
0525021306a
We found the sea of green…but no yellow submarines.
0525021323
Sold to some frog collector perhaps.
0525021344
This was the cutest little bear! He didn’t have a steel rod sticking through his furry skull, honest.
0525021345a
In honor of Memorial Day weekend, vintage American flags for sale.

H.O.T.

Look who we went to see after the flea market! Grandson Knox had just woke up from his nap.

Bath time, splash time!

Yes, my favorite blog-time! Flea market!! Some of that stuff is just downright scary, like the indian dolls & other baby dolls of years gone by. And what's up with the bowl of hands? creepy. The Buddah head is cool, but I would have no place to put it! :) Knox - cute as always! I love that little bath tub thing.

Forget the peaches & cuff links... Neil should have bought the elephant doing the Fig Newton dance! :)
