    A Vendor Named Dead People’s Things

    Yep, You heard me. The name of one of the vendors at the Nashville Flea Market is “Dead People’s Things".

    Here’s their trailer/shop. How cools is that! I found a Facebook page for them here. What a cute set-up. At first I wasn’t sure about the name….then realized that it’s probably fitting.

    It was an interesting market in September. I got to the flea market late…around 2…. because of the granddaughter’s ball game. That was okay though because I was told I just missed a big rain storm. The hubby wasn’t with me because he was at the estate auction with a friend. I told him the weather was perfect for the market. Usually we are either burning up or freezing to death. The day was overcast and the temp was just right. I wondered around and took tons of photos.

    As I said it was a strange market…..

    …..and it got stranger. This guy was promoting 4 different haunted houses in the Nashville area. I’m scared of heights so I couldn’t walk on those stilts….really.

    Debbie and Jimbo with the Goblin/Haunted House guy. Debbie is a phenomenal furniture painter and Jimbo is a wonder at metal garden/yard art. I’ve come to know them since shopping the market. It’s not just about shopping the flea market, it’s a social experience.

      Correct in what it actually is but not so cool as to the name. I know the folks are gone but have you ever had to go thru those people's things. Not a pleasant thing to have to do.

      Oh, yeah. Dead People's Stuff sums it up nicely 🙂 I used to get a little creeped out going to estate sales until I realized that maybe (not probably, but maybe) the people were moving to Florida and they didn't want to take all this stuff with them. Yeah, that's it!
