The last flea...

Our last flea market of the season is always a bit bittersweet. On the one hand, we spend crazy amounts of energy (and dollars) on promoting, planning, organizing, promoting promoting promoting... and then they just zip by so fast. By the end of hosting five flea markets, we are ready to take a breather. They are so much fun, however, and I'm always whining and sad that we have to wait another year for the next round.

This last Vintage Flea Market (September 13) was a really nice one: we were so happy with the vendors and all the good stuff they brought! The weather was absolutely perfect, and things went so well. We were very busy inside the store, too, which is a huge relief for us. It kind of kickstarts the fall in the right direction. By the time we got the last of the signs down and all the accoutrements packed up, we were pretty whipped, but satisfied and happy at the outcome. All you can do at that point is go get some sushi and sit in a near-catatonic state and enjoy dinner...

Here are some pictures of the September market to peruse. Stay tuned to our website (www.pomegranate-home.com) for next year's Vintage Flea Market summer dates (usually announced in February or March).

Be sure to scroll all the way down to the last picture, for the cutest flea market attendee of all.

p.s. A huge thank you to all our wonderful vendors who got up in the wee hours of the morning to hunt and fix and create and schlepp (and again, up at the wee hours to participate in our flea markets). Thank you for bringing your great finds to our markets and for setting up such tasty booths! It is an unbelievable amount of work (we know, we've been there), and we thank you for it. Hope to see you all again next year!
