Blue Ridge Flea Market

The Blue Ridge Flea Market is located just South of Blue Ridge, Georgia on the Southbound  side of 515 (I 575). It is a small market with a lot to offer.

Blue Ridge Flea Market - Indian Crafts

 I visited on a cold November morning so I expected it to be a little slow.  Even so, there were antiques and chickens. Clothes and primitive tools. I came away with a wooden level, a vintage rotary executive phone, a bayonet and an old trap.

There was a table full of antique and primitive tools to the left of the entrance. On the other end of the market there were converted storage units. A few of these had been joined together as an art gallery and Indian Craft Store. I spent quite a while in there looking over the hand made knives and leather work.

The Blue Ridge Flea Market is definitely worth a stop if you are in the area.

Chickens and Such, Livestock Sales

I didn't get much flea marketing done this weekend. I was busy with my chickens, working on their new coop.  I did get over to the Highway 108 Flea Market for a while on Sunday afternoon.  I rent a space there and they watch it for me. Even so, I like to stop by on weekends to check and add stock.

I haven't tried to sell livestock at any of the markets yet.  Some have restrictions and some seem to have no rules at all.  I have seen chickens sold at the Mountain View Market in Chatsworth and Big D's in Dalton.  At Pleasant Valley Orchards Flea Market in Eton they have a designated area for livestock sales.

You can often find baked goods and fresh eggs at your local flea market.  At all the large ones there is at least one good vegetable vender.  At Red Barn in Dalton there is a lady who sells dented can goods. Real bargains that stretch the budget.

Y'all have a good week and I hope to see you at the market this weekend.
