Yep, it is Canton weekend. If you haven't heard, the tiny town of Canton, Texas has a four-day event every first Monday weekend, commonly known as First Monday. First Monday Trade Days is possibly the largest flea market in the world, and I live only 20 miles from it!
My husband and I usually go every month until it gets too hot. We always hit it in October and November, and this weekend was the October one. But fall hasn't made it here yet. We went early (which for us is 9:30), hoping to stay until noon, but by the time we grabbed lunch and resumed shopping, the sweltering 87 degrees with 80% humidity sucked all the fun out of it.
We left before noon, but not before I snagged this new tee shirt from Girls Gone Junkin' and found some burlap coffee bags at a steal for three for five bucks! Not sure what I will do with them. . .maybe some wedding decor, or maybe curtains for the Scamp, or maybe both!
Anyway, if you haven't visited Canton, Texas during First Monday Trade Days, you are missing a treat. Next month it should be cooler. If you come, just be sure and wear comfortable shoes and bring plenty of cash! You can find ANYTHING there!
