racks

Early morning adventures, traveling down the highway, racks and tables loaded…

From sweet ruffle dresses, to daper young blazers, teddy bears and bows.

We have mini vintage fashions to sell!

Blue skys overhead and lovely faces old and new.

Livin’ the Flea Market Life!

With the love, support and new friendships made, we could not live our dreams without all of you ~
