Hmmm, where do I start? Last week, when Deb called, (who has a charming shop called The Tattered Angel), she told me that there was a indoor flea market in Bemidji on Saturday. I love my phone visits with Deb, she is a wonderful and super talented gal. Check her out on facebook.
We set the alarm for 5:30, and woke up to the wind howling and freezing rain. Great, what should we do? But you know us die hard junkers, LET'S GO FOR IT! We drove out of the rain after about 40 miles, and then just contended with wind and blowing snow, a piece of cake for us Minnesotans.
We get to the flea market, and it's packed. Hubby dropped me off at the door, and people are already coming out carrying many bags, grrrrr!
Then, lots of junk, and not lots of GOOD JUNK. I did score the tractor seat, level, pumpkin, clay pots, and that weird deer candle holder, (plans for that ugly thing).
Who did I run into? Deb, we chatted a little, and then on to find treasures.
We didn't stay there long, and on to the next stop, a thrift shop. Who did I find there? Deb, we laughed, and I assured her that I wasn't following her. We didn't find much there, just the handled vase, so we all headed across the street to another shop. We parted ways there, and off we went.
We stopped at another shop, where I grabbed the giraffe, (NO idea why, I do love giraffes, but seriously?) This was a frustrating stop, one of those where everything cool, is NOT FOR SALE. Time to leave...
We stopped at many more shops, found the old steamer, horse muzzle from the 30s, and silver dish. Time to head for home. We stopped in Blackduck, wanted to check out the Blackduck Antique & Gift Shop. Guess who was there? Deb! Now she totally thought I was stalking her. We had more laughs, and I picked up the cool wall grate.
It was a fun day. Thanks Deb, for telling me about the flea market. Where are we going next Saturday, LOL.
