we HEART the NASHVILLE FLEA MARKET!!

by Karmen |

today was one of those days
I would like to hit “Repeat”  
to play it over and over and over

Bestie and I headed out early this morning
and spent the WHOLE DAY at the
Nashville Flea Market!!!


WOOT! WOOT!

WE HEART 
THE NASHVILLE FLEA MARKET!!!!!!!!!!


if you enjoy
pickin’ or junking
antiques
a DEAL! 
concession food
and 
people watching
or 
ALL OF THE ABOVE

the NASHVILLE FLEA MARKET 
IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!

turns out
 some friends of ours
sell socks at the market each month
they called yesterday
said they had forgotten a box of socks at home
asked if we would mind bringing the box of socks
since we were coming that way anyway
we gladly agreed
met up with our friend upon arrival
to return the favor
our friend said 
“now I have an empty trailer if y’all find more than you can haul home”
(I’m sure assuming we would not take him up on the offer…and I hadn’t planned to…..and THEN maybe 20 minutes in….. I saw THIS!!!)


and found myself almost GIDDY
bestie recognized
“the look”
when I saw the price
I asked 
the woman selling this AMAZING booth
“Do you mind holding this a half hour for me???
  We JUST got here…”
 (her facial expression told me that she DID mind)
 I quickly dialed Cowboy Dan 
to see what he thought 
(because that’s what I do when I get all beside myself
because he’s level headed and I’m SPASTIC and IMPULSIVE) 
he of course said “It’s up to you.  You’re there.  I’m not.”
and though Bestie and I hadn’t been on the premises half an hour!
I just couldn’t pass it up…..

SOLD!

knowing THE DEAL OF THE DAY would not fit in Bestie’s suburban
I  chose to “phone a friend”
“Hey! it’s me…if the offer stands..I’m going to take you up on it!  I made a purchase and sure would appreciate it if you would haul it home for me”
He graciously agreed
we made arrangements for pick up
I expect THE DEAL OF THE DAY to arrive late tomorrow or Sunday 

YAY!

right across the aisle from my first purchase we saw this


not going to get political with this post
simply saw a photo opt
 and took it

there were LOTS of photo opts
people and dogs of all shapes and sizes
fashion statements GALORE!
from heels


to hoodies
 that we bought on site 
it was COLD!!!!!!!!! brrrrrr!
(much colder than we had anticipated)



when it got too cold outside 
we would go in to warm up

LOTS and LOTS  and LOTS 
of things inside

aren’t these cute? (sugar and creamer)
LOVE the colors!


I’m a sucker for wire baskets!



 shelves made out of ladders (MUST DO)


ideas of things to make


or NOT


as well as a variety of services offered:


and NO. 
we didn’t.

then
back outside 
for more 
FUN and FUNNY!


SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE..

and NO I won’t…


I’m going to say it one more time
(speaking for both Bestie and myself)

WE HEART THE
NASHVILLE FLEA MARKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and STARBUCKS

THE END

    If you ever feel the need to “rehome” your deal of the day, I’m pretty sure I could find a place for it! (Even if I had to knock out a wall or two. LOL) That is awesome. Can’t wait to see it in your home! I have a thing for wire baskets too.

      Thanks Whitney! I can’t wait to get it here to look it over again…stay tuned! There’s a VERY good chance it will end up for sale…I REALLY don’t NEED it…

Choose joy it’s sound simple enough but up unti Choose joy

it’s sound simple enough but up until the last few days it’s been a real struggle for me

our current season of parenting has had me in a hard place & I’ve allowed the enemy to cause me to tap out of a lot of things but mostly joy

but a few days ago I decided to start believing the things I say and believe for others 

with Jesus we win

He’s it-
 & in Him IT IS FINISHED 

all of it

because 
Jesus.

He overcame & one day we will too!

 in Him we can BE+SAY & do BOLD THINGS because of who He is ❤️ 

have a joyFUL day, friends
ATTENTION DREAMERS: are you ready? have you bee ATTENTION DREAMERS:

are you ready? 

have you been looking for a safe place to whisper your dreams out loud? 

we are keeping it small

so make plans to JOIN ME & some of my bravest friends for the first ever BOLD MOVES retreat ❤️

it’s time ✅

message me for more details
