Thank you to everyone who want's to know more about Canton First Monday Trades Days as shown in the Flea Market Style Summer 2010 Magazine. Below I have a little more specific information for you.
All photo's for the article were taken by my Son Allen, Allen Arrick Photography
Photo of Ki with Petticoat in front of collage made by Maggie of The Veranda.
The Veranda is now located in the Canton Civic Center
The Porch is located between the Civic Center and the Arbors.
You can't miss the sign.
Carnival Clowns and other Murphrey Carnival items, available just outside the civic center as you enter the "fields"
Donna the Linen lady is still set up in the Civic Center just outside the ladies restroom. You can view her blog Here
Donna & Rhonda of Curious Goods are still located every month in the Civic Center, as is
Lilly of the Junk Palace. Both of these ladies also sell at Winnie & Tulula's in Athens Texas
Doorknob Bob has been selling at the same place for years. He's in the field near the "kabob" restaurant, just outside the civic center.
Gary Fleet, who is noted in the article as "by the creek near the bridge" is still there and has great junk, with well marked and fair prices.

As stated in the article, I like to use the Blue Roof of the Civic Center as my point of reference as I shop.
The field is empty in this picture but on First Monday weekend, it surely is not.

Basic instructions for making the Breakfast Burritos
that were mentioned in the article
Fry up some Jimmy Dean Sausage (or sausage of your choice)
Scramble Some Eggs
Warm up some lg Flour Tortillas
After the eggs and sausage have cooked, combine them in a pan and then scoop them into the tortillas. Roll up tortillas, and store them in foil until ready to eat.
To spice it up you can add picante sauce, cheese, onions, etc. before you roll up your tortilla.
The pictures of Ki and My trip to the flea market, were so beautiful, and the article in Flea Market Style was so fun to do. With my Photographer Son tagging along it was a really fun day. The pictures turned out beautiful and the article is great.
But I always want to see the bloopers, and the not so pretty behind the scenes stuff. So if you are like me, and If Ki will indulge me, Here are some shots that didn't make the cut, for whatever reason ;)
Allen took 950 photo's of our Flea Market Trip so you know there are a lot that did not make it into the article.
It's very hard to get a good pic of someone eating. Especially if you are trying to make 2 people look good eating at the same time. There were 30 shots of us eating this funnel cake. Most look like this.
I might look good, but Ki would have powdered sugar on her chin, Or she would look good and I would be making some sort of funny eating face. The one they picked for the article was perfect.
This is early in the day, Ki still has her jacket on & she is Still getting a feel for what she might see and what she might want pics of.
This dealers wares made the article. But not this pic.
Not my best side, can you say Fat arms, Yuck!!!!!
It was a real fun time, I'm so glad She finally decided to visit my favorite Flea market. Be sure to pick up the magazine to see the beautiful shots and story
that resulted. It was a chance of a lifetime and I'm so glad I got to be a part of it.
