Today it was an extemely cold day in Texas. So, what do you think I did today? Stay in... no. Take it easy...no. Call me (well us) crazy. We went to the Canton Texas Flea Market. Knowing there weren't many vendors on the grounds, we still went. We just bundled up real good, lots and lots of layers, two pairs of socks, gloves, scarves and your shopping cart. That's all that was needed. We still managed to find several things even though there were maybe five (well there may have been more) vendors on the grounds that were open. Most were closed, but then could you blame them. I know several that are headed to Canton tomorrow and I believe there is snow forcasted for that area as it is ours.
I found items that reminded me of Bohemian Finds.
Dark leather books,
velvet covered books,
a french and german book and
children's litheograph book,
time worn loved books.
I also came across a small oriental rug
that after photographing on my table
I thought would really look cute on a table.
The sweetest doll lamp (you can see her below and in a future post)
that believe it or not
still works
(I'm keeping her to add to my collection).
A very worn and tattered suitcase
with the cutiest initials on it,
a painted portrait,
oval frame and several other finds.
Take a look for yourself:
I found several other things that aren't in the picture. You'll just have to head to McKinney to see it all. All these things will be available at my booth at The Antique Company Mall in McKinney Texas, sometime this weekend. Of course, if the weather permits.
We also stopped by Laurie Anna's vintage home in Canton. Her shop always looks so beautiful. I'll be doing a future post on her place as well.
Of course I couldn't resist stopping by Winnie and Tulula's in Athens since after passing by their windows that morning, they were beckoning me to stop. Well there was actually a lady in the window waving to everyone, you'll just have to check back to see what I mean.
Hope you are staying warm!!
Great finds T, Bohemian seems to be what's ahead. Stay warm! It's record breaking cold here...brrrrr!

I'm so jealous - I'm dying to go to Canton! Not planning to go until the April show. Can't wait to see your post on Laurie Anna's - just LOVE her shop. Have a great weekend - hopefully we will thaw out!
ReplyDeleteMust admit, I haven't had much of an urge to get out the last few days but there's an antique show in town this weekend so may brave the cold. Great finds! Stay warm!!! Jan
ReplyDeleteGreat finds. Is the lady the lamp and is she German? Love her face.
ReplyDeleteYou my dear and your handsome hubby are now officially in my "Throwed Off" club. No love of junk could get me to Canton this weeks...and I do love me some junk! You're a braver woman than me!!!

I can't believe you went to Canton. I should have told you to swing by Frisco and pick me up! I bet the vendors were happy to see you there. We had a ton of snow last night, so I am not sure if I will go tomorrow or not. CrAzY weather!!
ReplyDeleteHi Miss Teresa...I might be coming to Dallas soon with the hubs!! Our friends took us too Kckinney and I loved it!! Even though they don't do Antiques...they were troopers...so I told my husband... I might need a whole day for myself to play this time!! SO If I come I 'll let you know...I would love to see your space!! Maybe have coffee...
