Even with temperatures in the 90's for I've lot count as to how many days I decided to head to the monthly antique fair about an hour from my home. I knew it would be a short day as us Yankees can only handle so much of the heat but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do when it comes to treasures.
Years ago I had a booth at this summer antique fair, actually for several years. It always seemed to be either freezing or oppressively hot. Today was brutal and I was glad I was only shopping and not setting up a booth.
I didn't buy much, a bag of antique buttons and a flour sack but it was fun and I'll go back in September when the weather cools and maybe do a little serious shopping.
I thought I'd share a few pictures of today's market, it was not crowded at all which I credit the heat for. The photos are just snap shots as I didn't have the energy to move stuff to get clear shots.

| I've always wanted one of these and this guy was a nice size, just too hot to pick him to a lug him to the car | |

| Only in America can we take healthy food and fry it! My friends and I had fried pickles a couple of months ago and they were really good |

| This lovely lady had a booth in the shade and really great pieces, again to hot to shop |

| OK, my favorite piece of the day, I just love this! These guys had a wonderful whimsical booth called REBEL reclaimed |

I won't be visiting in August, this one about did me in. September will hopefully bring cooler temperatures and better prices.

That chair made me laugh and I love the rack with the gloves tacked to it.
Miss Char,
This heat must be getting to all of us...that weird chair...too darn funny, dear! Thanks for taking us along in the "heat" of the moment!
Fondly,

Oh, it's out here also but it's great that you got to enjoy antique fair. Looks like they had some awesome treasures. I haven' been antiquing in some time and I really miss it. Oh, and that chair, priceless! Thanks so much for taking us on your antiquing tour!

Looks like some fun things at the sale. Love that desk!
Thanks for taking me along on your browsing trip...loved the desk and the funny hook shelf! I have never heard of elephant ears....what is that? Potato skins? Seriously, I don't think I have ever seen this in CA. LOL!
Fried pickles- love them! Fried zucchini is pretty good too! The rack with gloves ---- strange.
