Flea Market Find

We all got up quite early this past Saturday (5:45am) and headed off to the Mile Hi Flea Market north of Denver. It opened at 7 but due to unexpected diaper changes and so forth we ended up getting there around 9am. It was quite cold so we were all bundled up. Sorry, no pics of that. It warmed up very fast. We wandered through some of the more permanent shops but there weren't that many open. By 10, EVERYBODY was open. There was a Farmer's Market with all sorts of delicious fruits and veggies, there were several places selling Steamed Chili peppers, they smelled very good but I am quite sure they were very HOT! We got some Kettle corn, Yummy! Phil got some tools that were hard to pass up and I found a really cute telephone table for $25! That is the only picture I got of our outing!



Consider this the before picture. I bought some really pretty fabric and chair cushion to redo the seat. I was about to take more pics when my camera batteries died so you will have to wait in anticipation for the after picture. Which you won't be seeing until after we move back to Missouri!

I think we are going back to the flea market this Saturday, so I will take more pictures.

OMG, you lost me at 5:45....A.M. But then you got me back with the picture of the phone table and the fact that you got it for 25 bucks!!! Of course I love it. I love vintage/antiwue things. And for some reason, this table brings back a childhood memory, but I can't remember what or where. And I love your little stick figure family pic at the top. you all look great! Although, I think maybe Ava's pigtails are coming undone. Just kidding!
I am stopping by to give you a big welcome to the SITSahood! I hope it was big enough! And we are so glad you joined and we hope to see you around. Lots okay?!
