We arrived right at noon (Saturday it’s only open 12-5) and
it was already packed. A majority of the fairgrounds was filled with vendors,
even most of the barns. We started
outside thinking we would save the indoor vendors for when we needed to cool
down. It was about 90 degrees and sunny. So we anticipated needing a break from
the sun.

We took a late lunch snack break at one of the food stands
then finished walking the fairgrounds. After we thought we had walked the entire flea
market we went back for the items we couldn’t decide on earlier. We made a few
deals and then pulled the car in to load up our treasures.
Where: Kane County Flea Market, located at the fairgrounds in St. Charles, IL
When: It's always the first Sunday of each month and the Saturday before, March-December.
Want to see my loot?
Want to know how much I spent?
$45 bucks for all of it. Yep. Deals!
The globe/stand and the vintage school map are both getting some makeovers before they find their spots in the house. But the basket and tin file box just need to be cleaned up.
Been to any flea markets lately?
Have you ever been to Kane County Flea Market?

So fun! We go occasionally, but I get overwhelmed easily with all 500+ vendors!
ReplyDeleteit was easy to get overwhelmed believe me, but so much good stuff to look at!!
DeleteAhh fun times!! You got some good loot! Those ombre dressers are amazing!!
ReplyDeletei know they were gorg!
DeleteSO JEALOUS of the map and globe! I've been looking for both forever.
ReplyDeletethanks Amy, you should do some flea market shopping! they were all over!
DeleteI LOVE the map and globe!! So gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeletethank you erika!
DeleteHooray for deals!!
ReplyDeleteThere is an auction tomorrow that Mike is heading to, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm going to go yet. I don't think it's my kind of auction, and is more like....non-old furniture and electronics. Not my idea of a good time, haha.
lol this is funny because now i know what Mike brought home!
DeleteI think my husband will try and sell me at a flea market if I start shopping at them. As if he could.... Great finds!!
ReplyDelete-andi
hahaha andi
DeleteThat's awesome! I've never been to a flea market, but they look like fun - and like good people watching ;) haha
ReplyDeleteNext time you come up for the flea market, maybe we can have an awkward meetup :D
you need to go to this one!!
Delete& yes! i am all for it, must be in a public place incase you are a kidnapper in disguise....
I can't believe you got all that for $45! I would think the map alone would be more than that!
ReplyDeleteWe actually went there last month; we live about 15 min from the fair grounds! I'm with Ashley, next time let's do an awkward meet up, lol ;)
haha i am allll for awkward meetups. and only 15 min from the fairgrounds could be dangerous for me! lucky you!
DeleteLove the map! I've been on the hunt for one of those too!
ReplyDeletethose and globes seem to be the hot items at flea markets this year so I bet you could find one!
