KiTsChY CoTtAgE: Christmas Aprons...my NEW obsession

Fleas & Antiques

ROSE BOWL FLEA MARKET
~Pasadena, California
Rosemont Ave.

The granddaddy of West Coast fleas

Imagine the UCLA Bruins football stadium filled to capacity with people and things - used surf boards, record collections, lawn statuaries and every kind of dish ever made. Officially called the "Rose Bowl Swap Meet" and open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. the second Sunday of every month, this huge market unofficially pre-opens its doors to savvy hunters at 6 a.m.

OLD SCHOOLHOUSE ANTIQUE MALL
~ Washington, Louisiana

Shop 40,000 square feet of antiques in this 1938 elementary schoolhouse and 1950's gym. Over 100 additional dealers gather on the grounds for the weekend. The schoolhouse and gym are great alone, but this makes it a must see!

First Monday Trade Days
~ Canton, Texas

The world's largest outdoor trade days takes place Thursday through Sunday before the first Monday of every month in Canton, Texas. Every month, thousands of vendors from across the country turn this friendly East Texas community into a shopper's paradise where you can find great antiques and collectibles, furniture, arts & crafts, jewelry, tools, clothing, fine home decor, produce and so much more!

Christmas Aprons...my NEW obsession

I love vintage aprons, but I really love vintage Christmas aprons! Aprons evoke a forgotten era when women stayed home to care for the home and rear the children while daddy worked outside the house. Of course not everyone wore aprons to vacuum or help little Johnny with his homework.
