I went to New Brunswick's biggest outdoor flea market today. It is an annual event held in Sussex, NB. I believe they have about 900 vendors. It was hot and involved a lot of walking, but I enjoyed myself. It was great to talk to so many of my antique dealer friends who I only see a couple of times a year.

I had my camera with me so I took photos of the old quilts I saw for sale ...
Nice red in this one.
Embroidered birds on the left.
Nice rugs too.
Hexies!
Two ladies saw me taking pictures so they volunteered to hold open this quilt top. Pretty embroidery.
I didn't buy any quilts, but I did find this. It is clean, clean, clean inside, sturdy, large, and I love the honey colour of it. A nice buy for $20.00 I thought.

Happy Weekend. Hope you find a bit of sewing time.

Nice sewing box....I have the exact same one ...thanks for giving us a peek...think I'll take a drive down tomorrow...
Hmm. Haven't been to the Sussex flea market since 1998 (when I was pregnant with our first daughter!!) I remember it was hot, hot and after about an hour I'd had enough. Those were "back in the days" when it was more car parts than antiques and collectibles! I swear if my antique dealer husband had stopped at "one more stall" with 1957 Chev parts...I would have gone into labour right then and there..lol.
Glad you had fun. Nice quilts on display.
Love the sewing box! That style of box is just so interesting! Great storage too!
That sewing blox was a great find!
Thanks for sharing the photos of the quilts - we don't have anything happening like that here that I'm aware of!
Those are gorgeous quilts! Thanks for sharing!
Oh, I missed my favorite flea market again!! Next year I HAVE to go :) Thanks for the nice pics Riel!
I haven't been to a flea market in ages, but it was fun to virtually go with you! It seems like it was also a mini-quilt show with all those vintage quilts. Really fun to see.

I love the top square patch quilt and that sewing box, I found an identical one a while back for $20 as well, definitely worth every cent.
So many beautiful quilts! Nice find on the sewing box.
Those quilts are lovely hopefully one day I will have one on my bed!
Nice sewing box!
