This is the flea market to end all flea markets. Although it only happens once a month- the third Saturday and Sunday of every month to be exact- it is well worth the wait. Their website claims they have over 500 vendors, and I didn't take count, but it sure as heck seemed like a whole hell of a lot of vendors. So many that by the end of the day, I had consumed enough caffeine to feed a small country and was still so tired I felt like a 5 year old who just had her first Disney World experience.
What can you find here? What can't you find here is more like the question. I bought jewelry, makeup, knock off designer bags, clothes and some fabulous vases to adorn my new loft. My favorite find of the day- the toy vendors. We were able to pick up some new guests to add to our ever growing Christmas nativity set- a California Raisin riding a skateboard, Hulk Hogan, Buzz Lightyear and Big Boy will all be attending the birth of our Lord Baby Jesus in our household this Christmas 2010.
It only costs a mere $2 bucks to get inside their doors and they offer up a concession stand menu so you don't have to worry about leaving. Instead you can shove a hot dog and funnel cake down your throat in record time- you know so that lady doesn't scoop up the last of those porcelain clown figurines you had your eye on.
This place is a hoarder's dream- there seriously is so many things you don't need, never knew you wanted, but have to have. Go with a sock full o' cash and a couple dozen energy drinks and I'll see you at the next one on September 18th and 19th. But if you try to buy any of our future nativity guests, I will knock you out with my purse full of energy shots. read more
