The Dallas Flea

Four times a year there is an event in Dallas where a select number of unique vendors come together in one location for a fabulous shopping experience. It is known as The Dallas Flea. This past Saturday was the first Dallas Flea I was able to attend (I sadly missed the December event at which The Pink Pagoda was present) and to say I had a grand time might be an understatement.

Admission into The Dallas Flea is $5, that includes a bottle of Vitamin Water, and you can than peruse the booths until your heart is content. There were so many fun vendors to explore!

Gaia was one of the very first booths and it was a hit! All the napkins are made from recycled fabric. The best part is that everything is made by refugee woman here in the US! If you live in Dallas you might recognize these from Madison (a FAVORITE local shop of mine). I LOVED all the hand painted furniture, but sadly was too late in the day to make it mine (I would have not been able to regardless since I am NOT shopping, but wishful thinking). Can you believe these two side table, cabinets were JUST $75 each!? There was also a dresser at the same booth for just $250!

The vintage cowboy boot booth was PACKED...we were in Texas after all.

I am a long time fan of Southern Fried Paper. Having ordered invites from Chelsea before I was thrilled to see she had a booth.

These are some of her wine and gift tags. Aren't they darling?

Jewelry is often hit or miss for me at fairs. However, Cheeky Chicks was definitely a HIT. They had so many amazing pieces and the prices were FABULOUS! I think the above necklace was only $48!

Another hit was the vintage rosary pieces and saint pendants. There was this bin with numerous treats, but there were also actual pre-made necklaces and bracelets with these lovelies.

I could not resit snapping a photo of these vintage Easter cards (just $3 for a pack) and all the dainty items covered with glitter.

There was catered BBQ inside if you wanted to eat lunch at The Dallas Flea and then you could also get a sweet tooth fix upon exiting.

I cannot resist a Sprinkles cupcake!

I can hardly wait to return to the flea in June. The vendors change from flea to flea so you can always find new goodies and treasurers. After leaving the flea we headed to several antique stores full of chinoiserie treasures...more on that adventure tomorrow!
