JUNKIN ON SATURDAY

Saturday was Market Days at Canton, Texas.   This flea market is one of the best in the country, some 10 square miles of "stuff" to browse through.   What a way to spend the day for a junker like me.  It's impossible to walk the whole thing but we (as in the family) have our favorite places to go, so we go right to work looking for those great little treasure we can't live without.

I don't own a wide angle lens, so this is just a small snippet of the size of this place.   One can find chickens, nuts, soup, and vintage everything.   I have a few favorites that I always find things to take home with me (chickens not included).

                 I found a very nice 'flow blue' platter among all the lovely china in this shop.

  
        A great shop full of pottery.  Don't you just love these beautiful blue pots.  The color is just perfect for spring.

                                             Pretty vintage perfume bottles

                         This couple made the most beautiful burlap and linen pillows. 

I love this chandelier and wanted to buy it for my craft room.    It was just a little over my budget and a certain husband was not being swayed to let me spend a 'little more money'!!!!    Maybe the next time I go, it will still be there.

How can one not love the name of this shop???   Lots of goodies to rummage through here.   They had some lovely vintage linens and lamps.

And this is my favorite shop, GIRLS GONE JUNKIN.    I always find lots of trinkets for my journals at this shop.   I found some vintage buttons, scrabble letters trimmed in glitter, white ribbon with buttons already sewn on, and a terrific buy on community silverware.   The girls who work at this shop are just the friendliest bunch and so helpful.

These are just a few of the photos I took last Saturday.    I am so looking forward to going next month.  The market days are only open once a month, first Monday weekend of every month.   Since this is Texas, the best months to go are always the cooler months and of course December is the best for all the great Christmas trinkets one could possibly want.

Till the next time, have a wonderful day.  Miss you bunches, my dear friend.,
