Hortons of Tipton French Flea Market Part 2

Here we go~
Round two of Hortons at Tipton French Flea!

I think I took as many photos inside as I did outside the
store. Although I will say in looking at photos on other
blogs, I think I missed some booths and I haven't a clue
how I did that. Either I was in la-la land or I was just in photo
taking mode and missed them that way! :(

I purchased some of the french bread and herb
butter and it was delish!!

I have always thought it would be neat to ride a bike
to town and get fresh flowers like they seem to be
able to do in Paris.
{Yes I live in a dream world. lol.}
Would have loved to purchase some of the fresh flowers
here for sale, but after we left here we were headed to my
sons for a couple days and they would never have made
it home safely.

Lovely treats! They also had amazing fudge.
Thank you Donna...the peanut butter fudge is
delicious! I am trying to be good and eat one little
slice at a time. :)

All these next photos and the one above are ones in the
store display that was just gorgeous!

Donna sure

does a fabulous job of putting it alltogether!

LOVE these curtains, but they just aren't in my budget and don't know if they ever will be. :)

beautiful display after beautiful display!

I don't know about you, but I have never been in a
hardware store that looks like this!

I have a pillow like the one in the middle. Love it.

french style goodies everywhere you look

Thought these cement balls were neat.

Even more beauty

The photo above and the one below is from a booth
that was set up inside the store. I purchased two vintage
postcards from this booth.
{Portobello Road}

Tomorrow for White Wednesday I will show you what I purchased. I didn't buy a lot, but I did get some nice items. Loved every minute of it and when I look at other photos on other blogs, I want to go right back.

Happy Tuesday!

Amazing French Flea Market in Tipton, Indiana!

I was fortunate enough to take a trip to Indiana this
past weekend. We stayed at my cousin's b and b on
Thursday evening and then headed to Tipton, Indiana
to the French Flea Market that my bloggy friend
Donna of Everyday Elegance puts on. This is the third
year and my first time. I just want to say that I LOVED IT!

There were people everywhere, but I did manage
to get a few photos. These first few photos are from
Rebecca's booth. So many amazing pretties for
the eyes to feast on!

love how these spools are displayed

and the doors...just beautiful!!

Obviously I did not get a good shot of the whole booth. I tend to get snippets most of the time. lol.

such pretty aprons

I don't have the name of this booth, but she made many items out of book pages. I wish I had gotten a photo of the little birds she made. They were amazing!

I was fortunate enought to meet and talk to Nicki of The Vintage Farmhouse and her booth
was so cute! I did purchase an item here and will
be showing my goodies another day.

Isn't this so cute?

This photo is not the best , but I loved
the candles wrapped with printed script
tissue paper.

DONNA's booth!!!
If you have never met her then you are
in for a treat!! First time I have met her in person
and I love her to pieces!

Love what she did with the paint cans.
She has more energy in her big toe than
I have in my whole body! She has to have
to be able to pull off such a stunning market!

A lot of her items were sold already and we were
there before noon, but I did manage to get my
hands on one of her ruffled linen bags!

On top of her booth were paint cans that she decorated.
SO SO cute!

I just have to tell you this. When I first got there I found
Donna's booth and wanted to introduce myself to her.
I found her and said,
"are you Donna" and she said "yes"...
I then said, "I am Sandi from Way.....that is as far
as I got. She yelled and then grabbed me and gave
me the biggest hug ever.
She said I jumped when she yelled. It was too funny.
What you don't know is that I had emailed her and told
her that we might not be able to make it down and
then I had sent her another message later and said
we were coming after all , but she had not had time to
check her email so she didn't think I was coming.
YAY!! I love surprises!
Can I just say that she is sooo fun and so kind!!

This booth is by Jackie of Shamboro Studios and
it was amazing! I loved all her things and her talent
for displaying items beautifully!

gorgeous pillows!

This was outside the entrance to the flea. So wish you
all could have joined me. It was such a fun day!

If you want to indulge me I have a hubby story.
My husband wandered off by
himself and when I found him a bit later he was
holding a drink in his hand and making a face.
I asked him what the problem was and he told me
that he thought he was getting a lemonade slush
and he ended up with lavender lemonade instead!
SO funny! I LOVE lavender lemonade, but him
not so much...so he gave it to me. HA!

I will have at least two more posts about the flea
so stay tuned and make sure you visit the other
blogs for more posts from Tipton, Indiana.

We just got a deluge of rain which we needed badly

but now I hear a storm is coming. Gotta disconnect
the computer so it doesn't get struck with lightening.
Oh the joys of dial up internet...
