I wonder if I'll be able to make it to the flea every month this year. I made that a goal last year but ended up not going in a few of the hotter months. We'll see I guess. I LOVE the Nashville flea market! This month I was able to go on Saturday, when I'm usually working. It was so crowded! February is usually slow, but it was a really beautiful day. Here is what I saw.
We always love to look through old pins. Travis is looking for Red Cross stuff, and I'm looking for weird/silly/cute stuff.
We bought these three, the two with red writing are like the "So's Your Old Man!" pin I picked up in Louisville earlier this year. I wonder where they game from, and how many there are! I like how rude they are.
Looooove these old nursery wall art. Especially that moon!
There was a tiny bit of Easter stuff out, but not much. I like that creepy old bunny in the back.
I really loved this lamp shade but Travis wasn't into it. I guess he deserves veto power. But that gold!
Really great GIANT framed horse tapestry.
How great is this image of two fancy women fencing?
I kind of love these little mice by Russ from the 80's. I have one that is wearing a little suit.
Mmmmmm, falafel and fries.
Oh my gosh, such great stuff! Will you please go back in time and get me that Indian clock in front of the tapestry. Pretty please?!?!?!?!?!! I love those pins too. The wacky tacky collectible pins were patterned after them. I wear the "So's Your Old Man" one all the time. I don't think anyone still says "So's your old man," but even after I explain it, I still think it's funny.
ReplyDeletei wanted to know how much that clock was but couldn't find the booth owner! it is amazing isn't it? so sad it got away!
DeleteSooo much awesome. No wonder it was soo busy. I love the women sword fighting painting and the nursery decals. So rad.
ReplyDeletethat record player is so cute!
ReplyDeleteMe and Jamie saw that Tcby sign when we went Sunday. I told him to buy it for me to hang in my kitchen so I could sit under it whenever I eat yogurt...which is never. It was probably the best thing I saw and didn't get a pic of it...so I'm glad you did
ReplyDeleteI really love that record player so pretty. I like the moon a lot too, looks like it might be 1930s or 40s which is my favorite

Great photos! We went to the flea on Sunday but I wasn't feeling well, so we only walked around maybe a quarter of the place then left. We usually only get to it every other month or so. The mister pointed out that fencing pic too and we both loved it but it was out of our price range.
ReplyDeleteIstanbul is awesome! We're only a few miles from it and eat there often. :)
you must live near me!
Deletewe always start in the back with those sheds and walk up one side to antique alley. i don't even mess with inside anymore!
I saw a whole dish of buttons the other week - which kind do you like? Do you have any from Canada?
ReplyDeletei don't really have a specific kind i like. silly ones i guess! i have a cute one that says "teeny bopper" that I love. and ones with cute little cartoons.
DeleteI had a mouse like that when I was a kid!!! It was holding a corn kernel and I LOOOVED it. I took it everywhere. I slept with it, too. But since I was a bed wetter it kinda didn't survive :( Thanks for givin me a name brand so I can google away in my nostalgia, Rae :)
ReplyDeleteRae, I just found one that quick!!! And it looks like some little bedwetting girl used to own it, too. Authentic nostalgia right there. Thanks, Rae ;)
ReplyDeletehahahah!!! both of these comments have me laughing out loud!
DeleteThanks to you, I am the proud owner of it :)
DeleteThose are some good flea market finds. I liked the lamp shade, it sort of reminded me of theatre curtains.
