My Mom and I hit up the Aberfoyle Antiques Market last week and were blessed with some beautiful weather and some great finds! I was even able to replace the small pyrex bowl my roommate accidentally broke recently. By far the best find though, was a daguerreotype that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Haggled it down to $35! The case isn't in the best shape, and because I haven't photographed it yet, I will show you that later, but the image itself is really clear. I was pretty happy with that find.
Every Sunday from late April until the end of October, the Aberfoyle Antiques Market never fails to impress. This market focuses more on furniture, knick knacks, jewelry, kitchen and housewares. There are a few clothes vendors, more so this years than previous years, but this is a "housewares" market more so than clothes. Prices are generally lower like a flea market, and haggling is almost mandatory. Both my Mom and I have gotten many treasures over the years, slowly redecorating rooms and adding to collections. The field where the market is hosted is really well organized, and has actual bathrooms. Huge bonus so far as I'm concerned.
