Summertime





I always think of flea markets and antiquing during the summer. Well on my trip to Austin, I found a very unique shop called Uncommon Goods. The store was wall to wall antiques and collectibles. They allowed me to take pictures of the shop so I could share them with you. I collect so many things. This time I purchased a vintage straw hat with beautiful lace and rhinestones. This store was the kick-off to a season of flea markets and garage sales. Have you been bitten by the bug?

  1. Me too! One of my first adventures every summer is a trip to the flea market! We have one called "Brass Armadillo" and its full of little booths just like the ones in your pictures. In the past, I've actually picked up a few things to use in my artwork. (That marble jar)
    Glad you like flea markets too! It's a perfect way to spend a summer afternoon!
