{Hometown Hero} nellie's barn sale

July 22, 2014




One of the most charming aspects of living where I do
in the Midwest is the summer fleamarketing!

Nellie's Barn Sale
is an annual must-attend for me
in the Rockford, Illinois area.
Many humble treasures from Nellie's
became mine the other day.
What did I buy?
Great big ol' heavy vintage laundry bag.
Faded-soft vintage American flag.
Galvanized pail with its old label attached.
Handmade round linen tablecloth.



What you'll find?
Galvanized everything.
Vintage textiles.
Painted tables and chairs.
Farmhouse style...and the unexpected!




A peek inside the barn.



How charming is the entrance?


Doris sort of steals the show, yes?



Two humans at a time shop inside Doris.



 Nellie's is the brainchild of this lovely exuberant kindred spirit.


What a pleasure to visit my hometown heroes
of Rockford and share them with you!

Have a favorite summertime fleamarket destination?

Peace to you right where you are.

  3. Looks like a heck of a lot of fun. Doris does steal the show! I love a good treasure hunt - there aren't any really noteable ones in my neck of the woods, we just have estate sales and a big antique mall. Which just means I need to get to Paris for my flea market fix, right? Lucky you to have such a great one in your neighborhood! XOXO
