A day at the Flea Market

Today, we went to the Kane County Flea Market which was a pretty good time, we got some cool stuff and had a good laugh when we saw some things walk by that were the definition of "One man's trash is another man's treasure".

Since I was not there looking for trash, I ended up getting a new set of poker chips (the 11.5 gram size) in an aluminum case as seen below:

We also got some nice blown glass things, one is a serving plate and stand and the other is 2 "ornaments" that were hand blown by a lady who drove up from Tennessee. She was very nice and we told her we would be sure to come to her booth next time and bring some friends. There company is called the Ornament Boutique but I do not think they have a website, so no link! I do not think that we will use them as Ornaments though, we are planning on hanging them in our kitchen as they will really shine nicely in the sunlight and with our glass insert tiles on our kitchen backsplash.

We also spent a good amount of time talking to the Old Hydrangea Lady, don't yell at me, that is what she calls her business. We got to talking because she lives very close to where I grew up, I saw the phone number and asked where she was from and she said, "Oh, you probably never heard of it" to which I replied "try me, I know the area pretty well". She told me Heyworth and I said "Shoot, I grew up just north of there in Normal".

That pretty much took care of the day. Till next time, keep your toes covered when you walk the grounds after the carnival (there was elephant dung everywhere!!).
