Georgetown Flea Market Fun Time!

Yesterday afternoon Benjamin and I took a motorcycle ride down to Georgetown to check out the weekly farmer's market. But wouldn't you know it, there was a flea market going on there as well! I was overflowing with happiness at the sight of old brick-a-brack strewn about here, there, and everywhere.











That last photo was taken at a nearby antique shop. I'm pretty sure that creepy hobo doll is haunted. I swear I heard him say "What'ya think you're doin' lady?!?!". I may or may not have made up that last part. Anyways, here are a few of the lovely little trinkets that I picked up at the market:  







This book dates back to 1902! I've already started reading it and it's just as sweet as can be. I want to be Dorothy Darling.




I have this thing for windmills. I think it's because of where windmills come from and are still used.  I've always been fascinated by Denmark and hope to visit there one day.







My mother used to walk around her garden with me and teach me the names of the various flowers. As an adult, I'm surprised by how much of that information I've retained but it never hurts to learn more. That's why I picked up this adorable book. Now I'll be able to identify every flower in the universe!  Well, at least in the country.
