We had a GREAT day at the flea market! I bought tons of sparkly rhinestone bits and about 15 floral hats. A few other odds and ends too. I'll show you some photos after I unpack. This is the tub in the back of the car with some of my hats in it.
Sparks and White Cloud, KS have the most unique flea markets ever. I really can't figure out what the towns are about, it looks to me like they are ghost towns that only are used twice a year for this market. But then, I did see a few houses that looked occupied too.
Sparks is mostly a big field with some old buildings scattered around, and lots of tents and trailers filled with treasures.
About 10 minutes down the road, is White Cloud, a downtown area filled with empty buildings. Some of the stores are filled up for the weekend, the rest of the dealers set up in fields and on the street. Every time I go, I see the same 3 legged dog running around town, no owner in sight.
You never know what you'll find there, and I sure would never miss it. To me, its not just shopping, its an Event. With a capital E.
It was a wonderful day, it always is for us up there, rain or shine. And today, we had lots of sunshine!
But its good to be home with all the babies.
That sounds like great fun!! Your daughter is such a cutie!
I can’t wait to see what treasures you’ve uncovered.;p

Wish you’d taken a picture of the 3 legged dog. What an odd, little town! – Kathy
Great finds. Miss Karla! So crazy that town like that exist! Look how sweet that Sugarwings is! I could just eat her up!
I’m heading there in the morning! Looks like there’s good stuff there today/yesterday. And I know what dog you’re talking about!
Oh my gosh!!! 15 hats?!?!?! WOWZERS!!!! I picked up 2 hats in an Antique store in GA- to which my friend, Teresa Atkinson said “How Karla Nathan”!!! lol 🙂 Love those pictures of you and Sugarwings!
It looks like you had a great day finding some wonderful vintage items. Sadly I wasn’t able to make it this time – the little one was sick so we have spent the last few days cuddling – which I would take over pretty hats any day since he is almost five and soon those days will be over.
Sweetness! Babies galore! You are so blessed. I am salivating over a town that opens up just for flea marketing. Wow.
Wow! what a place to visit! What fun you had!
Did Sugarwings help you with your hat whisperer skills? That was quite the haul!
