FLEA MARKETS!!!!!
That's right, girls! This weekend marks my official start to Flea Market Season! I will be at the Kane County Flea Market in St. Charles, IL this Saturday and Sunday!
Just look for me in the sea of white painted furniture. I will be the tall thing with dark hair sticking up over a pile of dresser...vanity tables...desks...coffee tables...cabinets...mirrors...chalkboards...you get the idea.
My booth location is the same it has been for the last few years, so most of you will know where to find me. On the main drag, right across from the Office/Bathroom area. I am in the Arena Building, right on the isle.
I will be trying to get photos of everything as I drag it out of storage to load the truck - so look for a preview on Friday. Oh, and a little announcement from me is coming on Friday, too! So do check back!
Hope to see you this weekend at the flea!
I wish I was coming! Maybe in June I'll make it up :) Best of luck & sell it all!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Annie,the only thing I wouldn't be able to come in June either,,sigh.....

Oh how I wish I could make the trip. I havn't been to the Kane County flea in a long time. But, the drive is just not in my future right now. Hope you have good weather and great sales!
ReplyDeleteHi Mary, this is my first visit to your blog and how wonderful to meet new bloggers and beautiful blogs as you have!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could be there...Good luck!
I'm your new follower!
Hugs, Li
It all looks lovely. I hope all goes well. I wish I was closer so I could come!
ReplyDeleteDo you ever make it to the Grayslake, Lake County Market?
ReplyDeleteHi there, I just stumbled across your blog courtesy of a new follower on mine, and I must say I am so pleased I did! I am a SAHM trying to run a little furniture painting business out of my garage. I started last September and it is going well, I'd love to have more time to put into it but that will come once both my kids are at school, and I don't want to rush that! I love the pink striped chest of drawers - just gorgeous! I'll join here as a follower and also pop over to your new blog...I did that too, change the name of my business and therefore my blog a few months ago, and so glad i did...I am small time still but there is loads of potential when i have the time to give the business, and I feel like I have a real 'brand' now that I can grow...it is so exciting!
ReplyDeleteHope your flea market sale went well.
xx Karen
