Elkhorn Flea Market

 

Yesterday I spent part of my day at the Elkhorn Flea Market.  This one was a little different since my sister Kim could not make it.  She is the only one I have gone to that flea market with.  TJ agreed to go with me. (what a guy!)  We took my daughter and her friend with and dropped them off at a beach nearby. 

 

 

The weather was perfect yesterday.  70's and sunny.  Beautiful!

Here are some things that caught my eye at the flea market.....

 

 

 

These library type tables are really in right now.  I love them! 

 

This metal and wood one was cool.

I liked this one too.  I just really do not know where I would put it!  I love all this stuff this vendor has by the way. 





This is an old mailbox.  I have never seen one of these before. It would be neat in an office or den? 



 

I like this one too.  I ended up leaving without buying one. I have been thinking of a few of them that I saw ever since!  That happens to me a lot!  I also just saw my last flea market post had library tables in it as well.  Surprised I  have not bought one yet!

 

 

 

 

Old lamps can be pretty funky!

 

 

  We saw a lot of antique fire equipment.  Something for TJ to look at!

 





 See those metal red lights on the left side of the table?  Those were cool.  $300.00 so they stayed on that table.

 

 

I am so curious about the manikins...... 

 

 

 

 

Funny thing is we did see a lady carrying a manikin head around under her arm.  There is a market for these things I guess!

 

 



 

 

 

 

I have this little guy.  This one is painted and was $65.00

 

 

 

 Mine was $18.00

 

 

Here are my finds for the day......

 

 

One of my goals was to find a dresser.  I am in the process of re doing our guest room and wanted to get a little dresser to use in there.  This one was exactly what I was looking for.  I got the vendor down to $30.00!  I am excited to get working on this!

 I love these old rusty metal drawers.  These were $1.50 each. Usually they are much higher than that!  Kind of kicking myself for not buying more!

I also set out to find antique frames and mirrors for a project I have in mind.  I managed to get all the frames and the books for $20.00. 

 

 

 I thought these metal valves things were pretty neat too. 

 

 

We ended up spending about 3 1/2 hours at the flea market.  That is about 5 hours less than I usually spend!  I of course could have stayed there ALL day and probably after it closed as well!

 

This was also the least amount of money I have spent at a flea market.  That probably has something to do with my husband being with!  :)  Although I got some great deals on what I did find!

 

All in all it was a great day.  We shopped and then had a nice lunch on the lake. My daughter and her friend got to hang at the beach for the day.  A little something for everyone!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Elkorn Flea Market

 

 

Kim and I spent last Sunday at the Elkhorn Flea Market in WI.  I was not sure if I was going to make this one, but at the last minute was able to.  It was 75 and sunny, perfect day to shop!

Here is some of what we found......

 

 

 

I love these old telephone tables!

 

 

Cool rusty old drawers. 

 

 



 

Kim bought this little library table.  This was the main thing she was looking for. 

 

We saw quite a few church pews.
 

 



 

 

Wonder if some day Kim and I will wear hats like these women?!  :)

 

 

Here are some library type tables.  Most of these were pretty pricey. 

 

 

 

 



 

Not sure about this. 

 

 

 

 

 

So pretty, white and industrial. 

 

Hippie Tom's booth

 

Kim bought this metal cart.  If she didn't I may have.  It is so cool.  I did buy the rusty metal tray under it.  I acutally love that!  This lady has the neatest stuff!!

This would be neat in a little boys room or a mud room.

 

 

 

I like this vendor too.  They own a huge farm. They always have cool stuff that is priced fair.
 

 

Funny story.  At the flea market last September Kim bought these metal drawers.  We usually pay for our things and then come back at the end with her truck and pick it all up.  When we went for these bins the guy was gone.  This has never happened before, if anything the vendor leaves the item with the booth next to it or leaves it in the grass.  She spent $35.00 on these.  We could not wait to see if he was here this year.  We found him right away and he was selling Kim's bins!  We thought he might have them set aside just in case.  Nope!  He acted like he did not remember but did let her take them.  hmmmmmmm.

 

 

 

 

Our signature Hippie Tom pics!

 

 



 

**Kim may be the old sister wearing the funny hat someday!  ;)

 

 

 

Here are my finds.  I was on a mission for old mirrors and I found a few of those.  I also wanted metal drawers and trays, found those too.  And I wanted a big glass vase and I found that too.  The one I found is an old water bottle.  It is pretty cool. 

 

I also found this old chair for $2.00!  I already started working on it.  I am trying Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint on it. 

 



 

 

 

We had a great day in Elkhorn.  We got there at 7am with plans to shop and get out early.  We stayed well after close as usual!  :)
