Typical flea people, typical flea junk - good and bad - and typical flea joy! Hmnn...maybe I should have snagged that banner from 1966 afterall...
One of my personal passions is chairs. I have always loved them, and, enjoy finding interesting and unusual specimens. This one was so fabulous, I had to snap a pic. I did not even check the price as I did not want to know. Being the laid-off-suddenly-vintage-dealer that I am, I needed to focus on items for my Etsy shop, not (sigh) beauties like this that I cannot afford...
Lots of great mid-century to be found in this little coastal New England town with its passion for primitives! And that pair of European garden chairs for $60 - clearly an Anthropologie stylist was not at this flea!
I was happy to abscond with some typical flea-fare; great photos and ephemera! Along with some other gems...
...pretty baubles....
...more fantastic vintage photos...
...and some possible Juliana; currently in for verification.

A trip to the flea would not be complete without a late breakfast down at Arthur & Pat's. I had something called the "Oh My God" which included smoked salmon with poached eggs, capers and onions on a potato pancake with a bed of fresh greens. Wow. As you can see, the options are endless; both traditional and avante garde!Update!: Bottom pair verified here as of 9.22.09!

Of course, I found so many more new goodies that I cannot possibly share them all with you here. You will just have to check my shop to see them all!
Those necklaces look like candy -- good enough to eat!
ReplyDeleteMnnn - don't they? All those glittering jewels from all that dusty stuff - never ceases to challenge and amaze me!
ReplyDeleteYes, there is always sooo much junk, lol. I haven't had much luck at flea markets, I need to find better ones.
ReplyDeleteI have a high tolerance for "digging." :-)
