Monday was the Webster Westside Fleamarket.
My sweet sister Lynn and brother in law Steve drove me there...
knowing that I was dying to go!
...they are so good to me!
It was great to be out in the morning sunshine looking at all the treasures being offered.
So many things that I love!
All this blue and white enamelware was a collection that once belonged to the seller's parents.
I was tempted to buy this old Ivory Flakes soap box...
Don't you love this old dress form standing next to the Florida tropical upholstered chair?
old photos...
vintage toy trains...
...great colors on this stack of old tins...
...a huge collection of old shaving brushes and paraphernalia...
...crochet lace...
some great vintage clocks...
...sewing machines...
This was a great collection of vintage mother of pearl
and other white buttons....
...all sewn on an old linen calendar.
... check out the 1939 New York World's Fair button!
...a nice old hooked rug...
...wooden shoe lasts...
It wouldn't be a flea market without a little Elvis...
...lots of vintage cameras...
...and of course...
...it wouldn't be a Florida fleamarket without a little of this!
I fly home tomorrow...
...although I am sorry to leave my parents I am grateful to have been able to spend this time with them.
See you tomorrow Mr. Flea!
:)

Wow! What an amazing collection of stuff! What a market that must be. I am envious. Glad you got to visit and hope your mum and dad are well.

Hi Laura, I grew up going to Webster with my parents. My dad was an antique dealer and always came home with a truck full. I haven't been for years but I would love to go again next time I visit my dad.

I loved everything but those scary gator heads! LOL!

Ok, I'm in Florida too and have not been to Webster's in years and years. I have been to Renningers which is much closer and it is pure heaven. I think I may need to take a trip. Thanks for sharing!

WOW, what a lot of great things to buy. I would have wanted to buy it all but a problem bringing it home on the plane. Did you buy anything?
What wonderful things - I LOVE the buttons, what treasures.
Did you have enough room in your suitcase for some of those blue and white treasures - china and enamel? I hope the seller kept some of their parents' blue and white enamel collection as a keepsake.
Wouldn't be Florida without a 'gator or two.
I'd love to locate bushel baskets with lids.
I'm glad you had a wonderful time with your parents.
Debbie

The blue and white china is so beautiful - would look lovely in any kitchen, what a wonderfully odd selection of things - did you treat yourself to anything? :-)
Looks like you've had a lovely time with your parents over the last couple of weeks!

Wow what great finds there were to be had. You had great resolve, I don't know if I could of been so good. Thanks for sharing. Florence
What a great variety and that dress form... how to resist? I'd have strapped her to the mini-van and hauled her north :)
I want to go to Florida. Where are the best places to go to find the most flea markets. Not so many in Georgia. Pray tell! Love, love your blog. I gotta find me some old buttons.
Just visiting for the first time. Came over from Marianne's Vintage Gal blog.
All I can say is, OMGosh!!! Each image scrolling down made me drool that much more. Where in the heck is Webster? I have got to check that place out!
Thanks for sharing!!!
