Elkhorn Flea Market

A recent trip to Elkhorn Flea Market netted some fun finds.  I have traveled to Ohio (Springfield Flea Market), Texas (Round Top) and Iowa (What Cheer) for vintage treasure hunting and still list Elkhorn as my favorite.  It may be that I know the "lay of the land" and some of the great vendors, including Jan of Gracie's Cottage.  Also, I always discover great vintage items at fair prices.  The last flea market this year is on September 29th, so if you are in or near Wisconsin, be sure to stop and shop.

Here are a few photos from the August flea.  I don't have many to share since I was too busy shopping.

And here are photos of some of my purchases, which will be listed in our Etsy shop shortly...

Vintage Finds

I had a successful shopping trip to the Elkhorn Flea Market yesterday.  I was searching for items to add to my trove of goods that are headed to the Vintage Flea & Finds Market to be held on July 8th.  Here is a sneak peek at some of my vintage finds...

small chair, signs, clocks



more signs, tinware, softballs, wireware

gauges, more signs, small fence pieces

letters, flash cards, numbers

vintage bottles

Finally Back

I am finally back after a crashed hard drive put me out of commission for over a week.

I traveled to Elkhorn for the last flea market of the year on Sunday. Unfortunately, it rained (and poured) on and off which meant that there were fewer dealers and some outside dealers who packed up early. I still managed to find a variety of fun treasures - mainly for our Etsy shop. I will be posting some of these items later in the week.

Elkhorn Shopping

I spent a good part of yesterday shopping at the Elkhorn Flea Market. It was a beautiful day, so the vendors were out in full force - as well as the shoppers.  I managed to find some items for our Etsy shop.  Here is a preview of a few...

Fun vintage signs and a cute magazine holder.

A vintage bingo cage, hangers, sweet green bowls
 and an instant collection of skate keys.

And two shabby red stools for my collection.
