MIDWEST'S LARGEST FLEA MARKET

Tuesday, September 13 – We walked around the Shipshewana Flea Market today. That is one HUGE flea market! It took us nearly four hours to walk most of the aisles.

Our first stop. Got to set priorities!

There were quilts galore. Each more beautiful than the last.

Now this has to be the most unusual weather vane we have ever seen. Be sure to read the sign attached to the vane.

This was Marsha's favorite items of all those at the Flea Market. You remember her fetish with pigs from the Fair. She thought these were just daring.

We picked up some note pads, bungee cords, plastic storage bags, and a bag of apples. All at very good prices.

The produce was great! Here is where we got our delicious apples.

We then took a ride around Shipshewana. We stopped and walked the main area. What gorgeous flower beds. Marsha had a ton of camera moments. She didn't know where to shoot first.

This gal was waving to us as she got closer. She was such a happy gal!

We visited several RV Surplus stores without finding the chairs we were searching for. That was disappointing. We had heard this area was a mecca for RV'ers searching for furniture and surplus parts. It's the main reason for us heading this way. We did find some nice chairs at Lambright Comfort Chairs. They are Amish built in the shop in Shipshewana, but we felt they were a little too expensive. We have several other places to stop at before giving up on our search. We'll keep looking!

Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see ya'll back real soon. Have a great day!
