Today on this hot Sunday I had the pleasure of going into Boston to visit a few friends in the South Ends new Sowa Vintage Market. Located in the trendy, funky South End this new flea market hosts a variety of old finds to soothe the soul. You can score anything here from Old world European elegant antiques to retro funky industrial finds. Creators Stephanie Pernice and John Warren run the show each weekend on Sundays 10-4, May-Oct. John actually re-purposes furniture and creates masterpieces. I always marvel at his talent.

Sowa is definitely a new cool place on my list of flea markets. It’s good to see motivated and creative people doing what they love. Kuddo’s to you Steph and John! For more info and pics you can go to www.sowavintagemarket.com also located in my links section.

On another note I did manage to get out to Brimfield to shop last Tues. Apparently many people asked where we  where and why we were not set up. Simple answer I can’t deal with 100 degree heat and sitting outside all week in it. LOL!! It was nice to hear that we were missed! While I was out there I took so many great shots of some great booths. Much to my dismay when I got home I accidentally deleted them all from my camera. I still want to give a shout out to Peg and John from French Vanilla they had an amazing display and I so wanted to show you all their true talent. Peg was such a sweetie too! I also stumbled on a booth called Antique Warrior. I guess these guys are trying to start up another picking show in Brimfield similar to American Pickers. So be on the lookout for that, It should be cool.

In the meantime I signed up for a small local show in Concord MA in November at a nearby church. We are still debating on doing the Sept Brimfield show and with only a few weeks until the show it’s more likely we won’t be doing it. I will keep you all posted. Enjoy the pics I took of the SoWa market. If you get a chance go and check it out you won’t be sorry! Try and stay cool in this crazy heat!
