Spring Must Truly Be Here ~ It is Flea Market Season Once Again

This past Sunday marked the first day of the 2017 season at my local flea market, the Elephant’s Trunk.  It was a glorious feeling to finally escape the last clinging hold of winter, and be back searching for centuries old bits of this and that on a warm spring morning…

Opening Day at the Elephant’s Trunk

This huge 19th century wooden camera was perhaps the most intriguing item we saw all morning….

 

Extremely large wooden 19th century camera.

 

After a length trek through the flea market field and parking lot, we returned home with a few mementos 🙂

Early 19th century rod back windsor high chair

Pastoral Davenport transferware platter

a half dozen Lenten Roses, quite fitting for Palm Sunday

Much more prosiac, a stack of baseball jerseys…

Our treasures have quickly become integrated into our household…

Sadie thinks this chair was meant for her… she doesn’t care that somewhere along the line it has lost it’s arms, that simply makes it all the better to recline on ❤

fresh asparagus… another delight of spring
