Today was my monthly trip to Canton Texas where I junk to my heart's content ~
If you are a junkin gal at heart you would just love First Monday Trade Days because people come from all over to sell ~ There is alot of wonderful new things but my very favorite is the old vintage stuff and there is tons of it ~
Sometimes it can get kind of stressful because everyone knows where to find the "good" junk ~ Junkers mean business when they want something :)
One thing I learned pretty darn quick is that you have to have a cart ~ I use to carry arm loads of stuff back and forth to my car ~ that did not last long before I sprung for my handy dandy cute pink lined cart ~
You would not believe how many sellers drive up like this ~ I crack up when I picture them driving down the road, stuff has to fly off ~ Seriously how does it all stay on ???
Until later .....

I have been to Canton and am looking forward to going again. Lot of arts and crafts items, but I love the vintage stuff!! There was a vendor there that made these fab birdhouses on pedestals. I should have gotten one----next time I go thats where I am headed.

you have wonderful antique markets near you...I have yet to find a market like this in Michigan (seems they are all in "malls")...thanks for sharing!
Another post to get me excited for Brimfield! Thank you! Can't get the theme song from Sanford & Son out of my head from that last photo!
Oh, Lori, that is SO HYSTERICAL! I had to call my husband in here to see that trailer loaded with STUFF! Too funny! The only thing missing is Granny Clampett on the top in her rocking chair! What a hoot!
And even before I got to that photo I was thinking "Look at all that great STUFF! I LOVE JUNQUE!"
Thanks for the giggles! What a great way to start my day!
Big hugs!
Diane
Oh my gosh..I guess the best thing would be to drive behind one of these guys and hope for some treasures to fall into your lap! I've heard about this....so wish I lived closer...it looks like heaven to me!!
Enjoy your day xOxO Nerina
Diane was absolutely right, the last photograph is an absolute hoot! How on earth can something like that be moved at all without losing half the stuff? Invisible force field?? Well, hat off to whoever packed it, lol, pretty impressive.
LOL...I would so love to visit there, thanks for sharing.

I want to go to Canton so bad. It seems every month something comes up. I'll probably go in August & drop from the 120 degree heat. LOL
