What a Jouney Day 3!

Well today's post is about day 3 of my journey to the Elkhorn flea market!

The sky's were overcast and there was a chance it could down pour at anytime.

But Thank the good Lord it held off ~ it was actually pleasant until the clouds started to part and the sun decided to come out.  

Yep it got HOT & Humid!

If you've never been to the Elkhorn Flea Market I highly suggest you make the journey to one of their shows ~ it's well worth the trip.  Usually there is around 550 vendors.  The last show is in Sept and that one is my favorite one to attend.

I didn't take any pictures at the show this time around ~ it was just me and it was difficult for me to push the cart and hang onto bags etc... ~ I'm sure you get the idea!!!

But I did want to share what I saw when I was leaving the show and heading towards the highway to head home.

This building caught my eye!

I thought wouldn't it be cool to convert this into an antique shop???

Of course I had to pull over and peek in the windows.

Low and behold this is what I saw inside ~

(mind you ~ I was trying to take pics through mini blinds!)

The next couple of pics is what was on the outside of the building

I really liked this one ~ so Unique!!!

It's getting late ~

Better get going it's a two hour drive home ~

Country Roads take me Home!

Yeah!!!!

Only 63 more miles!!!

Hope you enjoyed my little weekend adventure :)

Tomorrow I'll show you what all came home with me!!!

Until Next Time

Pull over sometimes ~ you might be pleasantly surprised!!!

Many Blessings

Let's see some of the treasures that came home with me ~

I found a wonderful small vintage egg crate that holds 3 doz. eggs.

I found another bank bottle that I didn't have!

A wonderful canning jar with a coffee lid ~

This is what the lid looked like.

I love old vintage books and have been buying small bells with black handles when I see them.

Who ever owned this book wrote this inside the front cover ~

Do not steal this book, for if you do, you feel the effect of my old shoe ~ LOL

I have been looking for vintage 3" hat pins and was so excited when I found these!

The jar of marbles was for my husband ~ he asked me if I had any marbles ~ I was so afraid he'd take some of mine so I bought him his own!!!

Here's that wonderful vintage broom that I found!!!
