I really wasn't planning on going this month since I had scored some cool treasures while thrifting on vacation last week in Lake Tahoe.
But then I realized I hadn't been in several months as the June show was on the day of our son's High School Graduation and then the following month it was on the 4th of July.
So, around 11:00 am when the phone rang and I heard my friend Debbie's voice asking if I was there yet, I told her I wasn't coming until it dawned on me that I hadn't done a post on The Point for several months. I thought maybe some of you might be missing seeing all the fun and treasures to be had at the monthly show on our fair island.

Okay, do I give you my shopping list now?
My favs Tennis trophy it looks pretty tall, that white mirror with the bulb looks interesting, neat crusty white chandeliers neat for outside. Last but not least silver plate oh my goodness I would have been picking through that for hours!
Those battered frames are so beautiful, Terri! Hope your break down at the lake was fun! xo
Wow - this place looks amazing....I absolutely love the large glass container packed in the crate. That is awesome. I love all the vintage shells as well. I wished that I had something like this close to where I live - although I hear Mount Dora in Central Florida has some great vintage flea markets.
OH my goodness!!
I'm in flea market heaven.. well envy really.. ours are just not this good and neither are our prices!!! I don't know where to begin... I might go a little nuts in a place like this.. the shabby frames.. all the silverware.. the glassware.. the ships in bottles, the religious artifacts ....clocks, glass floats.. even the foot powder tins!!! me oh my!!... you can keep the skull but other than that.. pass it over!!
Thanks for sharing all these fab shots!! xxx Julie
that does it! I'm coming for an extended stay and we are gonna LIVE at the market the whole time!
Did you see Eddie Ross' 'la dolfina' compote?!
Wonderful booty, and such inspiring things (though some of the prices seem steep). When will I go?!
I want the organ pipes...
I love your photos of the day. Addison and I were there looking at lots of the same goodies. I even picked up those really nice berry baskets thinking they would be great to gather the chickens eggs in. One day we will bump into each other, until than we love your blog!
Heart be still!! Oh I'm just all a flutter with desire to come to this amazing market. I want almost every. single. thing. Gorgeous. We have nothing even close to that. So happy you shared, really enjoyed it.
I'm so jealous! I didn't go this time--we are up in Asti. Everything you featured, I love! I'm going to try to go to the new one at Candlestick though in a few weeks. Thanks for giving me a thrill--I feel like I was there almost, except I didn't spend any money!
Oh, what treasures! And your photography is simply superb! I love that last image....as I adore silver. Keep your eye out for sterling napkin rings for me: Letters I need are G, C and T!

This flea market is just so amazing. I would have taken home that super adorable ship in a bottle...., and that shell pot just looks like the one I saw in your outdoor space!!
Ah, thanks
I needed THAT!!!
Yes, I did.....
I've had a super
busy-crazy-driving
summer and NO flea
markets! {Waaah!}
Hoping to make up
for it while on
vacation out at my
folks in the next
two weeks....
Thank you for these
gorgeous images, Terri!
HUGS galore!

Great shots! I'm surprised we didn't run into you...didn't leave there until around 1:00. What's amazing is that Claudia took some of the same shots...LOVED those little white chandeliers and the bowl of pipes and so much more!!!
A fabulous place where once person's junk is another person's treasure....no doubt about it!
A*M*A*Z*I*N*G P*H*O*T*O*S!!!!
Amazing! Your photos are great...but now I want everything! I have been to this flea market and think it's the best in the state. Lucky you, you are close enough to go often. Thanks so much for making my heart skip a beat...in a very good way!
WOW!!! I would have gone broke!!
!!WOW!! Those a re some FABULOUS finds!! I sure wish Florida had these treasures! I especially am in love with the weathered frames and distressed multi-colored boards for wall art!
Thanks for sharing...

That is crazy! I love to see the stuff you focus your eye on! Its the next best thing to going shopping with you! I was trying to count how many I wanted for myself...I lost count around 15!
OMG! LOVE some of this stuff!! You have such the eye for the unique!
XO
ok, seriously! your treasure-hunting posts are such eye-candy! I'm moving down there so I can go to all these great markets with you! xx
Now I'm looking back at your photos, kicking myself that I didn't buy those distressed columns. *sigh* Although I don't know how much they were, but LOVE them and those statue fragments were so cool too! Great photography!!
Terri I always rely on you to share all that I miss ... speaking of which, how did I miss you ?! Loved those big spot lights too( there were near me ) 2 hugs next month now !!! xo Lisa
All I know is, I have good taste - took some of the same pictures as you, again. Had a great time too!

I LOVE YOUR BLOG!! Great post! I'm now your fan! What great finds!!! I would love to see this place! Therese, did you happen to see any antique street lighting (outdoor posts/lamps) at the fair?? My husband is a BIG collector. I know I could lure him on a plane to visit this wonderful fair if he thought he'd would find a street light! Thanks for posting this! :}
Just came home from Hong Kong and Australia with some cool finds on flea markets and vintage stores and already I am envious to see these great treasures you seem to find weekly...
