First of all, sorry if you're getting sick of the Randolph Street Market flea. I just took SO many photos and they all seem to show a different facet of the flea's character and blah blah blah...really I just love that I was able to take so many good photos courtesy of the amazing wares and well curated vendors and I want to show you them All!
Yesterday I didn't show you any of the vendors who were hawking their vintage clothing so
I made sure to get a few photos of That in today. And check it out, not just Women's vintage
wares but also for the fellas! That's right ladies and gentleman, you can drag that sad sack
backward baseball cap wearing beau of yours down to the flea and set him right (while
picking up a fantastic chapeau or pair of shoes for yourself!).
I think we've already decided that, barring any unforeseen obstacles, we are going back
next month and I promise, I won't be taking so many photos! I probably won't be bringing
much home but I will be there looking for those needle in a hay stack bargains. Of course
you can count on a full report on my findings!
Upon conversing with one of the vintage modern furnishing dealers from Cincinnati I found
that some of the dealers hadn't even brought out their best stuff! Some of this equates to
the vendors garage sale offerings! Man, I wish I had such nice leftovers. Should I get the
itch to dive into this deep end I will have to pack up most of my best just to keep up!
So I'm for sure going to have at least one more post with a ton more Randolph Street
Market photos but I promise it won't be tomorrow! I swear that I will post about one of the
two items I snatched off the Chicago craigslist while I was up there. "Vintage Modern
Bargains on Chicago's craigslist?" Yes! They can be had! Just like sussing them out here at
home it just takes a little (ok maybe a lot) persistence and determination. Kinda like
publishing a daily blog!
I've yet to really explore Chicago's resale scene since moving up here. I can't wait to go the Randolph Street market in September, though. I wanted to go this time but it was too hot for my lily britches. Looks like it'll be a hoot and a half!

Hi Susie.
DeleteIt weren't to bad out Saturday morning...so long as you were able to stick close to some shade. We DID get a little redneck sunburnt but that was 'cuz we forgot our cowboy hats! We might just be back next month so look out for us.
