vintage trunk sale!

 Saturday morning Abby and I dragged our bodies out of bed at the obscene hour of 5:30am (I truly respect those who wake up before the sun rises on a daily basis) to drive to Kutztown, PA. We had reserved a space at the Renninger's Flea market to unload some of our "junk". Since I tend to overbuy for the shop, I was hoping that Kutztown University students would take some things off my hands. 
Abby sold a bunch of her vintage housewares including this rad teal dish set and beautiful gold telephone. I loved the feather skirt on this doll..
 Vintage dish towels were a hot item. It was definintely more of a housewares and antiques crowd. So by the end of the day I had made a total of $18 and spent at least $40 haha! Mr. and Mrs. Kunkle in the stand next to us sold gorgeous organic produce and pumpkins which we brought home with us, and my neighbor on the other side sold me 8 vintage hats for $12! Not to mention all of the delicious food inside which we couldn't resist..
 Although we didn't make much of a profit it was still a really fun day! Who knows..maybe next time we'll give Brooklyn Flea a try! But seriously, if you are ever in the neighborhood of a Renninger's Flea market you should stop in to enjoy some great food and vintage treasures!
