Road Trip continued........Nashville Flea Market

This place has become my favorite destination on the 4th weekend of the month. Word is that the fairgrounds where this is held has been sold for a convention center and the shows will end by late this year. That is so sad, because it's a real old fashioned flea market, with a great antiques section, as well as anything else you could want (a dozen Titelist golf balls are 2.00).

Shoulda bought that mannequin and the door holding her up, but the truck was already loaded!



(Just in case you live in a cave and missed this---you can click on the pictures to enlarge them)

I could have filled 10 trucks this month since there were more dealers set up for the April show. The booths are spread out over a large area, and you really need comfy shoes and a cart--some prices are high and some low....but it is always interesting, especially if you like architectural.

Above is the booth of Cindykay...nostalgia*gal...and below is her partner Charlie's booth.

  4. What great pics you got of the flea, Nancy. I believe you may have to get a larger van...maybe a uhaul! ;-) Yes, I've heard the flea market is closing, too. Surely they will find another location.
    Hugs,

  12. I think I'm going to need a mop for all of the drool that is all over my laptop!

    Keep your fingers crossed that they find a new place to set up so your wonderful shopping can continue.

    Happy hunting,
