Saturday at the Flea
8 Mar
Traveling to the flea market at the NC Fairgrounds in Raleigh on Saturday yielded these,
a set of 4 Thonet chairs for children, I’m not sure what I’m going to do with these yet because I don’t really have room for 4!
The purchase power fizzled out after that but we did meet a friendly vendor named Gene Foust. One of the pieces Gene had was this lovely antique glider. It was $50.00.
Gene specializes in antique gliders and he restores them. Gene has a permanent space at Lot #421. If you’re in the market for an old glider contact Gene about what he’s got in stock, he can be reached at 336-327-9309.
A lot of records were thumbed through…
And we saw some Pollack-esque paintings

Nice score with the Thonet chairs. I can imagine the way it felt to see them there after your ebay searches. I love it when you see just what you want at a flea market!!
Hook a sista up – I’m in search for a used table and chairs!
