It is a Village

A couple weekends ago, we headed out to Traders Village in Grand Prairie, Texas for a fun afternoon with our friends Jack and Melodie.  It was a chilly day and threatening rain.



There are acres of vendors in the open air, selling anything you could want or imagine.  A few vendors set up shop in what look like storage units, but most sellers brave the blazing summer heat or the winter chill, with a few balmy days thrown in.  It was our first visit.

In addtion to the fun of wheeling and dealing, here is what struck me:  the families.  Everywhere there were generations of families, selling and shopping.  Strollers were piled high, sometimes even with a child riding along. 










Every person was carrying something.



And sometimes the cargo was precious, indeed.

  1. Interesting idea - to shoot a flea market.

    And challenging too! ... as it's not exactly crowded with beauty.

    To find beauty at a flea market - yes ... that's an interesting challenge!

    - I look forward to seeing more of your explorations there. ...
