Day Two Hundred Thirty Nine 2010

TGIFriday At The Nashville Flea Market

There's something for everybody at the flea market. You need a giraffe, don't you?

I love these vintage boots. And the bag is pretty cool, too.

I like her and her little black hat. She was just about the cutest thing I saw all day. I'm sure she has a story.

Got ammo? This one's for Big T. You know who I'm talking about.

So I think I'll just throw on my straw hat and fur coat and grab my fishin pole and head down to the lake ....

You can just see right through some people ....

I wanted this baby carriage even if I don't have anything to put in it.

Now here's something you don't see every day.

I've fallen and I can't get up. He was for sale as is. Somebody put some clothes on that cherub!

Does this creep you out? Halloween in just around the corner.

He's still the man.

I like vintage cameras. Should have bought this one. It was $35--a Kodak instant film camera. Cool. Maybe if it had some film ....

These shoes look like something out of the thirties or forties--maybe something like my mom wore way back when.

This is pretty much how Neil and I felt by the time we reached the last building at the fairgrounds. Tired old bear. The heat zapped us.

Daughter Kelly joined us for some supper at Olive Garden before we headed back home.

Bye, Kelly! We parted ways somewhere on I-40E. Good times on a TGIF. Wishing everyone a great weekend!

Day Eighty Six











The Nashville Flea Market has been my little piece of heaven once a month since 2004. I like old stuff. (Insert joke about hubby Neil here) I'm a junker and a collector. Anyone who has been to my house can attest to that. There's just something about rust and peeling paint that appeals to me. I guess I was born out of my time. Today, Neil found some beautiful plants for our yard--these blue and pink hydrangeas and some ferns. The Fiesta ware lady is always there with her colorful dishes. And see that crock sitting on top of that great pie safe? It's mine now. You can find literally anything for sale at the flea market. From vintage clothing to brand new fishing poles. And of course the proverbial tube socks. Lots of practical and plenty of weird. I highly recommend a visit to this flea market. You don't have to like old stuff. It's just fun. http://www.tennesseestatefair.org/FleaMarket.htm
