2nd Time Around: New Flea Market Pictures

Welcome to 2nd Time Around. Please join us by linking a post that features something that is a 2nd Time Around to you…something from a garage sale, flea market, thrift store, estate sale, etc. Please link your post rather than your blog, and link back to this blog. Thank you for participating.

 

Note: I will not be hosting 2nd Time Around for the next two weeks due to vacation. I’ll start back the last week of July.

These pictures are from the 2nd Flea Market where I have a booth. The flea market has new owners, and they have worked to hard to upgrade and make it a wonderful place to shop. So, I’m going to show you some pictures of items that tempt me every time I go out there…these are not from my booth, but were taken with my camera by the owner’s son.

I do the Facebook page for the Flea Market, and while I was working on my jewelry case, he took some pictures to upload to Facebook. Hope you enjoy them!

 

We  have big massive pieces like this one!

 

Retro pieces given an adorable face lift!

And pieces that are very unique like this bench made from old chairs!

I am really enjoying my booth, and wish I was as creative as the vendors in the last two photos! Thanks for stopping by!

2nd Time Around: A Different Bird Feeder

Last week I mentioned that I would be traveling to Mentone, Al. and would probably visit the White Elephant antique store. Well, we never made it to the antique store. We did go to Mentone, and from there we ended up driving a few miles to a Collinsville, Al, a small community south of Mentone. Each Saturday they host an event called Trade Day. It is like a giant outdoor flea market. The brochure said that the event drew crowds of about 30,000 each week!

I did buy some jewelry for my flea market booth, and also found these bird feeders made of giant timber bamboo! I fell in love with them at first sight! The man that made them was selling them at great prices, and the more you bought the cheaper the price.  He told us that people in the Philippines build homes out of this type of bamboo.

So, after buying several, I gave one to the hostess who invited us, am giving one to my daughter for her birthday, and will probably sell the others in my flea market booth.

This one was the one that I gave our hostess. Her home is right on the brow of the east side of Lookout mountain, and I think you can see what a fantastic view there is from her home!

So, tell me what your wonderful finds have been this week!

We were out of town this past weekend, and will be next weekend, so I’m posting a picture of an antique shop that I’m looking forward to visiting!

It is the White Elephant in Mentone, Alabama on Lookout Mountain. I have a friend that has a home on the brow of the mountain, and at least once a year a whole group of good friends visit her and enjoy spending some girl time chatting, shopping, eating at local restaurants etc!

I’ve bought several  things at this shop through the years, but have not visited since I’ve started my own flea market and antique booth adventure. So, I’m looking forward to noting displays, prices,  etc. and really seeing what sells!

 

I don’t know why I took a picture of this teapot…guess it  was the one thing that caught my eye…LOL I think my taste has changed since then.

Now it’s your turn….tell me about a favorite antique store or flea market that you enjoy visiting!
