Florida Flea Market



Computer accessibility and posting from Florida has not been as easy as I thought it would...
...but here are a few images for you...
Did a Southern belle once wear this pretty vintage dress?



...We saw lots of planters, urns and garden items....



...reamers....for all that delicious Florida citrus...



...pretty hat pins and porcelain holders...



...ice cream scoops



...vintage bottles



...lots of beautiful silver



..look at the size of those onions!
...and look at the oxalis planted in....a funnel!!
...yummy tomatoes and strawberries and beautiful orchids!
...click to enlarge collage for a closer look...



...just a few of the little things I stuffed in my suitcases...
...it was a bit frustrating to only be able to purchase what I could pack!



This collage is for my mixed media artist friends....
...Cheryl
, that means you!...



...and my last day here in Florida was spent touring the little town of Dunedin....
we had lunch by the water at Bon Apetite and toured the little antique shops and boutiques lining the streets...

I have loved my week here in Florida...visiting with my sister, parents and in-laws...
... but will be leaving first thing in the morning to fly back to Starla and Mr. Flea who have missed me terribly... :)

What's next you ask?

Surprisingly, I will be heading north.....very north to Montreal, Canada to visit McGill University with my nephew Joe and sister, MaryBeth. We leave on Thursday morning and will be there for the weekend...

...and guess who I will be meeting?

Yes! On Friday morning, I will be meeting our very own Zita of Mlle Magpie!
We plan to share a cup of coffee and perhaps even a bit of antiquing!

How lucky am I?
