Southside Lofts Flea Market

Wonders and eclectic sparks of delight! Art, jewelry, clothes, accessories and then some.

I'm in love with abstract art and bright color splashes! Polluck, Mondrian and Basquiat move me and this artist caught my eye as well.

It's a bird, a plane, no, it's the Vintage T-shirt bus!

It was a beautiful, crisp, clear day.

Nancy and I wanted to try a nosh at Ruthie's food truck, but there was a line and the sudden gust of sand that flew into our eyes quickly ushered us inside. Opening Bell here we come!

Yum! Iced peach tea and carrot cake. Great fuel before heading back for round two at the market. I had a great time. It was a perfect-weather day for an event like this.-EF

Argh!!!

I am having some difficulties getting pics to upload on my blog. I've been doing so many things that I've wanted to share. Without the pics, it's a list of words, but it will have to do for now.


This past weekend I went to the Southside on Lamar Lofts Flea Market and had a blast!!! It began with a bite of tenderness at Off the Bone BBQ. I had the chicken with beans and potato salad. Yum-O. Washed it down with cool and refreshing ice tea. Next, we (my friend Nancy, along with some other folks) meandered down the block to the market. Lots of vintage finds and abstract art pieces. I managed to snatch up a cute, eclectic clutch, while Nancy snagged a cool, vintage martini shaker set and an owl-decorated box purse. We were able to take a brief break at Opening Bell coffee house, located in the basement below, before heading back to relook at some things. The crowd had dispersed by then, so it gave us a better opportunity to mull over some potential purchases.

All in all, it was chill day. The weather was PERFECT--sunny and cool, and it felt good to be out and about on a Saturday in South Dallas. Definitely looking forward to our next adventure. - EF.
