This Is One Flea To Love


Talk about a flea to love!

This past weekend, we drove to a city in Massachusetts that offered a flea market in a 54,000 square foot building.  Yes,  you read that right.  A building as big as 54,000 square feet holds a lot of "stuff."

It was mind-boggling. Just about anything and everything could be found.



Some things seen I would have loved. Others, I wouldn't take if even if they were free. Every one's taste is so different.


It was a great way to spend an afternoon and we came away with lots of smiles and thoughts of "someday" purchases.

This little fellow was not for sale. He was just enjoying the day in one of the stalls with his owner.



DO YOU ENJOY GOING TO FLEA MARKETS?

    Love flea markets, especially huge ones like this that I can putter around for hours. Trouble is I can usually find several items I don't need but just have to take home. Have such limited willpower where beauty is concerned. As you said, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". This sure looks like everyone could find their beauty. Blessings,
    Lynn

    Are they the same as swap meets? I enjoy going to the huge swap meets they have in Orange County now and then. Love your photos. I'm sure you had a grand time.

    It might surprise you to know that I don't like flea markets. (You'd think I would as much as I like thrift stores....but I don't.)

    The first picture in your post makes me think I should reconsider and check one out now and then!

    I wish I was up there and could have gone with you - this particular one looked great. Love the pup too. Looked like fun - as usual.
