I used to drive to Canton, Texas, for the really big flea market that they have. They have it every month but I could only make it once a year because it's so far away. I have aunts and uncles who camp right near the grounds and I would stay with them. I was there last spring and it's gotten so much imported stuff now that I don't think that I'm going to go again. I'll just head to a few of the farther away antique malls and save money on gas. Wish that you lived closeby!!!!

I am fortunate to have a town 35 miles away that is nothing but antique stores. LARGE stores! It can easily take a day just to go thru one! Right now I am looking for a small chest and vintage red dish drainer. What fun it is to look and hunt.. then most always find a little treasure I wasn't looking for but found anyway...
Also have a large outdoor flea market about 15 miles from me that is open Tuesday and Wednesday thru summer months. It is a tourist town that is also filled with unique shops, along with my favorite Amish Resturant, have to eat sometime!! Then a really nice antique store across from that which is open year round. Couple hardware stores from years gone by it seems like when you walk thru their doors..
Estate auctions, garage sales, love 'em all.

If I had the time and money I would be out every day hitting at least one of them..


Too bad you don't live closer!!!
I would treat you to a custard ice creme cone! LOL.. there is also a small shop selling different flavors every week. Next week they open and the first (and my favorite) flavor will be lemon custard.
I am so looking forward to my first taste of that since last summer...
