Still Strolling at the Flea


What can I say?
I lingered long...
...and snapped pics for you along the way.
Enjoy!


















































Guess what?

If the weather is good...
I plan on setting up here next Sunday with my good friend Paula.

Remember Paula's home from the house and garden tour?
She has some amazing pieces she is ready to part with...
...and I have some fun junk to pass along too!

Hope your week is going well!
If you are in the area and not still in Brimfield 
stop by the Elephant's Trunk 
in New Milford, CT
early Sunday morning!
:)

    I spent Mother's Day morning at the Elephant's Trunk! I thought I recognized a few things in your pics, but didn't realize where you were until the end of the post. I usually hit the Woodbury Flea Market on Saturdays and the Elephant's Trunk on Sundays. Makes for a wonderful weekend! I just need to find a few friends that like getting up early to hit the flea markets!

    I have read a lot of blogs complaining about blogger not working and so on and oh oh
    Now I see it myself . Yesterday I wrote you a comment but it is not here !
    I wrote how amazing it is to be here all the way over the ocean in Holland and go with you along all the beautiful pictures of the fleamarket . I so enjoyed it very very much.
    If I could have chosen one buy ..... It would have been THE FRUIT-CHESTS . So you know hihi .
    Have a very happy weekend and lots of succes !
