The flea market Maven's wagon is loaded up

and first thing tomorrow morning she'll be headed out to join her fellow gypsies on the lawn of the beautiful old schoolhouse in Washington, LA. I snapped a few photos of the trailer and had to giggle at how much stuff she managed to stuff into it.

front view--I don't think anything else could possibly fit in there Miz Tina

ha ha! I was wrong--she managed to stuff that wreath in :D

This gal knows how to pack! The next time I have to move--I'm *so* calling her to supervise the loading.

It's going to be a beautiful weekend, so try to make plans to visit the trade days in Washington this weekend. The sale starts on Friday Morning and runs through Sunday afternoon. Look for Tina and her band of tent gypsies smack dab in the center of all the action.

Happy Junkin' to all!

Miz Carla's review of October's Junkin' on Main

I have to giggle when I think about everything I saw and heard this weekend. I'll share some of that a little later, but for now let me show you some of the photos I snapped.

I got Miz Tina's windows "Halloweenized" a bit. I always say windows as in more than one (and there is more than one), but for some reason I never "do up" the other one. That's pretty dumb huh? I'll make a point to remember the other window when we pretty it up for Christmas.

I was a lazy girl and didn't bother with my tent, so I traveled light and set-up on the sidewalk. There's that poor ignored window behind my table.  I must've been in a hurry--look at that table cloth all wadded up and not straight...tacky tacky!

A few junkie treasures placed outside. Lots of these things found new homes.

Open for business---come on in!

Miss Pat  (Tricia's Creations) 

In addition to her lovely dresses & Bows Miss Pat has added some super cute monogrammed items to her line. How cute are these little who dat? jeans and overalls?

Miz Jayneann was there with her pretty jewels

Cutie Patootie Miz Arlene was there too, but unfortunately her tent was always full of people and I wasn't

able to get a good picture of it.

and here's the always fun  & lovely JuJu

and last but certainly not least... the lovely Miss Samantha was there with all of her pretty

Fleur di Lis stuff.

and look at these adorable wreaths Samantha's friend Katie made 

Many thanks to all of you who came to shop with us, and those who came to visit. 

We appreciate each and everyone of you!

Next weekend Tina and Company will be in Washington, LA for the bi-annual trade days sale. 

Happy Junkin' to all!

October Junkin' on Main

The fleas are hoppin on Main Street! Everyone is getting ready for our monthly Junkin on Main sale! The tent gypsies will be there with their lovely creations, and there are lots of sales going on inside the flea market The weather is going to be gorgeous, so make plans to come and see us this Friday &  (and after you vote) Saturday 9am-4pm.

Mrs. Arlene brought these wooden chicken crates up the other day--would they make a fun end table?

and look at these gorgeous mums--I can't wait until they BLOOM!

Speaking of blooming--have you all noticed the spider lillies are out? That means 6 weeks until winter! Better shake the spiders out your sweaters people--you're gonna need 'em soon! 

Happy Junkin

Miz Tina & Company

Welcome Arlene!!

There's a new vendor in the flea house--Welcome Arlene Johnson!!! Miz Arlene makes the most incredible sock monkeys, and lucky for all of us there are several to see up close and personal in her new space...just look for the big Monkey Business sign!

Miz Tina completely re-did her space and it looks F A B U L O U S!

The candle lady has a fun new spot--and it smells heavenly!

Miz Emily brought lots of new stuff, like her hammered aluminum collection that she's parting with

We even have pretty vintage things parked out front, but sorry this one isn't for sale :D 

The flea market will be open tomorrow (Saturday 9/25/10) come see us!!

PS: This is Ella...our flea house mascot. Cute huh?

For the love of all things girlie

Hello Friends!

Yesterday I popped into Miz Tina's for a quick visit and mini photo shoot. I brought along two little cuties/ shopping experts and thought it would be fun to follow them around and "shoot" what caught their fancy.

After quick hellos they made a beeline for Miss Kelly's booth (one of their faves)

Then they headed into Samantha's...

Chloe has a "thing" for figurines... naturally these pretties caught her eye!

and Abbie has a "thing" for hats, so of course they had to try these lovlies on.

Meanwhile, I was looking UP and saw...

Chairs on old barn wood walls! 

FABULOUS

There are lots of plans for changing/rearranging things in the near future--Miz Pat will be bringing new hairbows, a new vendor is moving in, Emily is steady bringing in great pieces of furniture as she prepares for a move (and she still has 40% off of everything) , and I (Miz Carla) am chin deep in Halloween creations.

Fall...Where for art thou lovely fall?

That's a silly question I like to ask even though I KNOW  it's not time for fall in Louisiana just yet. We must first survive September (the peak of hurricane season), before we can greet our beloved Autumn season face-to-face. It'll come, it just comes a little later around here, and we're ok with that--really we are. 


We laugh around Halloween time because we never know if we should buy those cute little furry monster halloween costumes that will keep the children warm on Halloween night, or if we should send them out as nekkid as the law will allow (covered in OFF of course) to keep them from melting. 


Let us all partake of a little virtual Autumn as we look at photos of fall colored pretties taken around the flea house recently.                   

Doesn't that put you in the mood? Here's a small list of things we'll be giving Praise 

to Jesus for soon!!!

• The urge to get outside and clean up the yard!
• The urge to go outside AT ALL!
• The poundage we'll lose from getting up and going outside!
• Light sweaters
• Longer nights
• Cozy fires
• The smell of burning leaves
• Sweat pants (aahhh thank you Lord, thank you for comfy sweats!) I can't wait to put mine on!
• Gumbo and Chili
• Hot Chocolate
• Open windows
• Outdoor flea market/sale events!
• and for the men....FOOTBALL!!

Thanks for visiting--come back and see us soon!
