1.  Where else can you see a sweet sleeping doggie wrapped in his own faux fur?

2.  There are great booths like this one of vintage goodies.  The woman who owned this one actually had a Ceil Chapman silk print dress from the 40s, which sadly, I had to turn down due to staining issues.  But she also had about 10 men's silk shirts from the 1920s, all in the most fantastic striped fabrics.  When I commented that these were just too pretty for a man, her answer was, "Dandies."

3. Spike, the Scotty whom everyone loves and who loves everyone.

4.  You see things you have never seen before, and quite likely will never again encounter.  An example: this Edwardian era hair net sales display.  There are cubbyholes on the back which hold the hairnets, and yes, there are nets still in their original envelopes.  The entire thing is made from wood and is in beautiful condition.

5.  You get to see dogs like Muffy dressed in cute costumes.  She didn't like her hat though and you can see what is left of it in her mouth!

So there you are; the first flea market report of the season.  It was a bit rainy and chilly but I still had a fantastic time and I found some fantastic vintage.  Now I'll be anxiously waiting three weeks to till the next big one!
