summer daze
It was a busy summer for the Flea Diva! Let’s take a stroll down memory lane, scanning the curb for good junk as we go.
I started out with a trip to Camp Country to drop off Thing Two with his brother, Thing One for their annual summer sojourn in the Smokies. I then headed north to Virginia to check out the Richmond Big Flea.
I enjoyed the show and found some great stuff. I bought an old wooden shoe rack and a very cool hanging cabinet, which are both going in the Barn Sale this winter. Other finds of note- some beautiful brown and white transferware cake plates, a pair of galvanized chicken waterers with great architectural lines, and some very interesting paintings.
The best stop in Virginia was a great spot called Luckett’s General Store. The yard alone made my heart start beating faster. I love the setup here- the store and porch are jampacked, and the parking area is dotted with the sweetest little sheds full of stuff- I could spend days here and fill a truck without any problem.
They have occasional shows with other dealers set up by the store- I can’t wait to go back for one of those! It’s a pretty long haul from Louisville, but would be worth it, I’m sure.
I cannot stop thinking about this fabulous wood-burning stove. If I go back and it’s still there, I’ll buy it. Mr. Flea will have a fit.
