Another fabulous French Flea Market (Saturday, July 6)

So excited about tomorrow's flea market. The stars are lined up for a great day: weather should be perfect (chance of rain: 0%), we have so many wonderful vendors coming in with unknown quantities of fabulous goodies (cannot wait to see what they have), and, drum roll please... the folks at Barrio Bend are coming to set up with their new food cart. We had some of their super delicious tacos (and more) at the recent Bite of Bend event, and are so happy they're joining us at the flea market!

Preparation notes for the flea market:
  • Come hungry, because you're going to want to sample everything from Barrio!
  • Bring cash. Some of our vendors can now take credit cards via mobile device, but cash still is king. Hint: want to negotiate a deal on something? You will get much better results if you offer cash (because, you know, then they don't have to pay that 3% to the bank).
  • Bring a market tote with some bubble wrap in case you find some smalls. 
  • Clear out the back of your vehicle, in case you find some larger things.
  • Bring garden hat for the sun.
  • Get there a bit early. Not too early, or things will still be packed up. Some of the antique dealers who frequent our shows get there at 9:45 or so. On the other hand, if you come later, you'll find some treasures that may have been overlooked earlier. It's all good!
See you tomorrow!
