Bloggers unite at the Raleigh Flea Market..

It was a great day yesterday.

I awoke early with anticipation of meeting non other than Marian of Miss Mustard Seed.

I have followed her blog forever so getting to do what she does best- junking was going to be great.  Let me explain, I have always loved dirty, old, crusty, rusty, peeling painted objects that show potential.  It is hard to find kindred souls who like that - especially women. I have a best friend from Texas who does so I get a fix twice a year when she comes out but otherwise it is a lonely endeavor.

But I was sure we'd meet others with this trip.

So, after me holding up the group as I entered the wrong gate and was at the opposite end- we made introductions then hit the ground running looking for "treasures".

 It's a good thing that Kristen brought her rolling bag as she scored a wonderful old but heavy typewriter.

Rie was a wonderfully nice person.  I enjoyed talking to her about her house and just life.  She bought this awesome wicker table - for only $50. It will look great with her house. 

 This is when Mekala caught up with us (the lovely one with vibrant red hair).  She had done some shopping before she found us- three huge but wonderful trunks.  She, I found out lives very close to me- Vass and is prior military too.  What a small world. 

Then we all went to SuzAnna's Antiques and the little shops with them.  We took a group photo - well some did.  So, I am borrowing Marian's. 

I enjoyed meeting all of these ladies.  And I hope we can get together and do it some more.  We all need to hit Clines and Gibson Mills together.

My Mom- Carol, Rie, Marian, me, Fiquet, Kristen and Brittany.  Some girls had to leave early : Holly, Kim, Esther and Mekela. 

It was a great day.  Hope to do it again soon.
