The Market on Monument.

Today is veggie pick up day at the market. My poor farmers didn't benefit from the rain storm the other day. They are feeling the drought. We had small pickings. There were onions, potatoes, melons, carrots, a few tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, and a few other items but not in huge quantities. Poor farmers!

Geraldine's space
An antiques market has been added to the Market on Monument, which is fun. We visited with several of our friends today. Geraldine of Ghostprint Gallery had paintings and other vintage items.
A peek at Maurice's stuff
Mimmy's vintage items
Mimmy's vintage jewelry
Maurice Beane had lots of interesting items to share in his area.  And another Antiques collector offered this fun range of seating.  Exile and Ouroboros were there today. Mimmy (the other Mim) and her mom, Sylvia, had a section with vintage jewelry and other items.  We managed to leave with only our veggies BUT we spotted a couple of things that we might just check out again.  If you're in Richmond, or nearby, this is a fun spot. They'll be there until October so I have plenty of chances to find some cool vintagy item, like those drinking glasses!

Oooohhh, I'd be checking out that vintage jewelry myself! Sounds like a wonderful place to spend some time.

Yes sounds like an awesome place to spend the day . I would love to visit there .

How did I get into this?

I was asked when I started doing Mailart. Good question. Like many artists, I was making and mailing art without even knowing it had a name ...
