The July Flea!

The July flea market was last weekend! I don't know if it was the fact that we're going to the World's Longest Yard Sale this weekend (you can see my posts about it last year here) or the fact that lots of the usual vendors weren't there, but I just wasn't feeling it as much this month. But I still saw some great stuff to share with you: 

Can you believe I resisted that poodle? It is one of those 3D ish hologram ones! I don't have many wall spaces left in my house, so I've gotten pickier.

My best buddies came with me of course. Thomas is coming with us to the yard sale too! I can't wait! Two more days!

 I hope someone buys all three and hangs them up in that exact order.

After I took this photo, the woman running the booth told me that I was the fourth person to take that same picture and she wondered why. Maybe it is because that head is CREEPY! I think it is the combo of the painted on features, missing nose, and rubbed off skin tone. She thought it might be the hat.

 Hmmmm, tempting. 

This vendor has had this awesome chair for over a year! I LOVE it so much, I can't believe it hasn't sold! If I had a place for it I would have picked it up by now. Maybe someday I'll have a great patio and need a vintage lounging chair.

I really love this sign too. Look at his tail! Now I wish I would have asked the price. It would look cute hanging in the pug's room!

 Travis was looking for one in his size. Cute. 

It was a nice day, a little hot but not sweltering. We kept seeing people with these cups of lemonade and it looked so good we couldn't resist!

 It was so good! Even if most of the cup was filled with ice. 

 Old metal letters. 

I got real excited when I thought these were old home movies. But they were old radio ads. Probably still good, but I don't have a player for them.

 I did this get reel of home movies! I'm kind of mad that I only got one! The vendor had a big box full. I wasn't sure what it would be (we've bought reels before, only to get them home and they turn out to be dirty movies! hah!) so I was cautious. It is awesome though! It's kind of hard to read, but this reel contains "My Birthday, also, dad's grandma's, paulie's 3rd, Xmas '55; Dixie's Broken Leg (Dixie is a dog! it's cute!) and more! We set up the projector a few nights ago and watched it, along with some of the home movies my Grandma gave me. I want to have an old home movie viewing party soon!

 I really loved these Beatle tie tack pins! I hadn't seen them before, and they were cute! I kind of wish the vendor was selling them individually, because I didn't want to blow our whole budget on one thing! I understand though. And I don't know if I could have picked which one!

 It wouldn't be the flea market if I didn't see some creepy cute taxidermy! 

 Even though we bought almost nothing, it was still fun to run around the fair grounds with Travis and Thomas. I really can't wait until this weekend!

After the flea we went to the Sunflower Cafe in Berry Hill! It is a kind of new mostly vegan restaurant. It is so good! I got the mock chicken salad wrap and some mushroom soup. Both were amazing.

Thomas and Travis both got sample platters. Look at all that beautiful food! They have a raw kale salad with currants and tahini dressing that is delicious! I never thought I would say that about raw kale.

I don't need to do a separate post to show you what I got at the flea because other than the reel and a few little restaurant soup bowls, this is all I got! There weren't even many vendors with photos this month. It was weird!

 My favorite is this guy with the budgie. 

Or maybe this one, where the guys appear to be hanging from the phone wire.
