Canton Texas

Do you ever go to the
flea market and get a
cart full of stuff but there
is something
you just really love ?

I went to Canton today and
that "really love" thing for
me are these precious
baby forks and spoons ~

I don't really have a clue why
but they just struck me
for some reason ~
There is nothing special
about them but cuteness ~

On a completely different subject ...
We are excited because my daughter's,
Kristin & Stephanie's
baby shower
got featured on the
Party & Event Guide
website today!!

Today was my monthly trip to Canton Texas where I junk to my heart's content ~

If you are a junkin gal at heart you would just love First Monday Trade Days because people come from all over to sell ~ There is alot of wonderful new things but my very favorite is the old vintage stuff and there is tons of it ~

Sometimes it can get kind of stressful because everyone knows where to find the "good" junk ~ Junkers mean business when they want something :)

One thing I learned pretty darn quick is that you have to have a cart ~ I use to carry arm loads of stuff back and forth to my car ~ that did not last long before I sprung for my handy dandy cute pink lined cart ~

You would not believe how many sellers drive up like this ~ I crack up when I picture them driving down the road, stuff has to fly off ~ Seriously how does it all stay on ???

Until later .....

It is time again for Canton Trade Days in Canton Texas ~ it is one of my very favorite times of the month because I get to go shop to my hearts content for 2 days ~ it is a giant giant flea market but there are also alot of yummy new treasures too ~

Wednesdays are pretty much completely flea market things so I took some pictures ~

When I was taking pictures today, I was looking at things that there were alot to choose from ~ tons of chairs to choose from ~

Ladders to paint ~

Old Chippy Doors

And some of my favorite things, architectural pieces ~

I will take some more tomorrow of my favorite places ~

Chat with you soon !

I tried to take some pics to show you of my first day at Canton ~ Wednesday is the day when alot of people that have businesses go to buy so it is pretty crazy ~ the good thing about selling here is that there are always eager people to help you unload your car ~ this is a picture of people waiting at the back of a ladies car just ready to unload it for her and see what she brought ~ it is just a tad bit stressful because the buyers aren't very friendly when they are on the hunt for treasures !!

I love chippy things although I didn't buy these ~ maybe I will see if they are left tomorrow ~

Do you need a chair to make over ?? Here are just a few ....

Here is a sneak peek of some of the things that I bought but it was dark when I took the pictures so they aren't that great ~

Until tomorrow ......

Another fun Canton First Monday has gone and it was so much fun ~ My mom and dad and I camped this time in their motor home on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday ~ it was great because the motor home was a nice refuge from the heat and a great place to grab a bite to eat and rest during the day ~

It poured on Tuesday so we were a little worried that there would not be any one selling in the flea market area because it is mostly outside ~ but... Wednesday the sun was shining and the vendors started pouring in the gates and setting up their treasures ~ we got 2 good shopping days in so we were excited about that~

These are pictures from one of my very favorite places there called "Girls Gone Junkin' " ~ I am not sure if they have a blog but if they do I will post the link so you can take a peek ~

Talk to you soon !!

There are times I am just amazed at how fast time flies and this is definitely one of them !! It seems like I was just showing you pics of the last Canton First Monday flea market and it was here again ~

These are pictures of one of a gorgeous booth in one of the buildings called Willow Nest ~

If you have visited my blog very often, you know it is one of my very favorite things to do !! I LOVE going to Canton ! Most months I go for 2 days and just spend the time browsing and digging through tons and tons of treasures !! Some of the spots are set up just gorgeous and some you literally have to dig through boxes ~

These are pictures of one of my favorite artists Devonia ~
