Saturday we hit a couple big flea markets in our area.
A Vintage Gathering at Beyond the Garden Gate ~ I didn't take any pics here but found a few things to purchase. The prices were very reasonable. I purchased a vintage push cart on wheels and a small black table. I'm planning to make a white fabric liner for the cart with bows. I have seen some, and they are so pretty. I will show the finished product on a future post.
And the Barn House ~ It was crazy busy, some people came on a tour bus from Seattle (3 hours away), people parking 1/2 mile away and walking. Didn't buy anything; no bargains here. Everything was expensive. It was hard to take pics because there were so many people, but here are a few. All the vendors had beautiful displays, and we enjoyed looking at their treasures.
Check out the white fringed umbrellas. They are gorgeous.
Lots of white linens and pillows . . .
and white furniture
Shabby Chic is in!
White signs and white flowers . . .
Saw this beautiful white bouquet in a silver ice bucket and had to duplicate it when I got home. It is all white and gorgeous ~ white yarrow and Queen Anne's lace. The yarrow is actually pink and fades to white.
My yarrow isn't completely all white yet, but I love it! It looks very elegant.
Thanks for visiting. Hope you enjoyed our vintage white flea markets.

Hi
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame everything was so expensive after the long journey, but I expect it was a great place to walk round and see all the gorgeous items for sale!! Jackie in UK.
I do love those fringed umbrellas. Now I just need to find an old frame to make one-thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat treasures I spotted, but I could not have handled the high prices either. I am spoiled by yardsales and thrift stores.
ReplyDeletehi
ReplyDeletewhat a nice flea-market with so pretty items.
the white flowers looks really very elegant in that silver-pokal.....i love it.
have a nice day,
regina
Julie: The flea-market appears full of treats! We have NOTHING like that up here in my part of Ontario, Canada. I am always amazed at the pictures of the flea-markets down in the USA.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers look beautiful displayed in silver. Quite regal. Enjoy your day!

Such a stunning market! I'm afraid they're not quite so grand where I live. I love how you took the flowers-in-the-ice-bucket idea home. If you don't mind I will do the same..you did a great job with yours!

Thanks for your kind comments and introducing me to your blog....you have a new follower. I love getting to know blogger from all over the world but I enjoy getting to know my PNW neighbors, too. We were at Barn House, also, I have some photos on my blog at http://dandelionanddaisy2.blogspot.com. It was fun and a great place to get inspired. People seemed to be buying, that's good for the vendors. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHi Julie,
ReplyDeleteI didn't make it up there this time....:( kinda wished I would've rearranged my schedule!! Looks like so much fun & eye candy everywhere!
I need to go pick some Queen Anne's Lace...it's growing everywhere right now! Looks so pretty in the trophy/urn thing!

Dear Julie, I came across your weblog via Cassandra's site and I am so pleased to have found you. What an eclectic mix of topics you cover,all of interest and beautifully presented.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed visiting the fleamarket which you showed here. It looks much more sophisticated than anything to be found in the UK. I spotted many things of interest, but it is unfortunate that such a lot was expensive.
I hope to be able to sign up as a 'Follower' in order not to miss out on future postings.
Julie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking me along with you to this outdoor show...love those beautiful white umbrella's! Your flowers look so pretty in your silver ice bucket.
Blessings,

ReplyDeletexoxo laurie@heavens-walk

ReplyDeleteJulie, your champagne bucket with the yarrow is oh so elegant! Thanks for the inspiration. I'm going to do something similar in my champagne bucket. The white umbrellas are stunning. Looks like a fun market!
ReplyDeleteI'm late arriving and posting for Silver Sunday this month, but hope you will stop by for a visit. I'm sharing some recent sliver finds. ~ Sarah
