We love the Kane County Flea Market in St. Charles. Held the first weekend of every month, it attracts over 500 vendors who sell just about anything, new or used. Many flea market shoppers and collectible hunters say this is the best flea market in the Midwest.
Hannah and I try to hit it a few times every year and always come away with a fun item or two. We were really impressed with some of the new furniture available and the wonderful selection of 50's bark cloth, tablecloths and aprons. Perhaps the cutest item on sale were puppies, adorable farm-raised little Australian Shepard and Border Collie mixes -- we spent a little time cuddling with the little guys before heading off to the indoor section.
Today's haul included some handmade scented soap, a much-needed cheese grater and an awesome ketchup bottle telephone that Hannah will use at college. It's mainly used as decoration, because a hardwired phone is required. Altogether we dropped a totally of $23 dollars and amused ourselves for an entire afternoon.

Looks like a great time! I love the ketchup bottle!
Is amazing what a little looking and 15 bucks will get you. The phone has probably never been used and was in its original box.
