While I know that readership of this blog has dropped significantly since there's been a lack of writing lately, I'd still like to use it as a platform to market some of my own endeavors recently. As mentioned in my last post, my boyfriend and I have been going to the Rietta flea market in Hubbardston MA every weekend in an attempt to clear out items that have been collecting dust in our garage for far too long. In this post, I wanted to talk a bit about the flea market so everyone knows what I meant by that.
Currently, we have too much stuff. I know, everyone says it- but we REALLY have too much. Roughly 3 households full, actually- we have our own junk, plus my mom's, plus my grandmother's now. It all must go. Every Sunday now consists of leaving at about 3:00AM to drive to Massachusetts and get into Hubbardston, get some breakfast, and then line up so we get a good spot to set up our table. We tend to aim for shady places near the front of the flea market, so we're the first table some people stop at while remaining cool for the full day. The flea market is held out in a wide open field, so the sun really starts to beat down as the afternoon hits. Many people do tend to migrate towards the shade, so we end up at an advantage (usually). There are room for 600 vendors, and roughly 450 usually show up each weekend- so there's always a wide variety of people coming through to check out everything. It's the largest flea market in New England, and some people travel all the way from New York to get some of the excellent deals. That being said, I'd be so appreciative if anyone would stop by and say hi. The flea market opens at 7AM, and usually is functioning until about 1:00PM. We're there AT LEAST until 1:30 each week- so if you'd like to drop by and check out our wares, please feel free to. You can find directions on google- just search for the Rietta Ranch flea market. Thanks! - Maddie
