Now I know a lot of people know of Canton, Texas but maybe this might be new to you.
It happens the weekend (Thursday – Sunday) before the first Monday of the month. It is like Esty in real life plus more.
If you have read my blog at all – then you know that we are striving to see all the “World’s Largest _______”. Well, this fit that agenda and my love language – shopping.
How can I say this without downing my family? They just don’t appreciate a good shopping experience. In fact, next time I go to Canton, “I’m leaving them at home”. (That is the phrase they were wishing I had said before we went.)
(Update: my kids are now older and LOVE flea markets – train them while they are young!)
Do you see the joy in their faces? Not so much…
My hubs and I can’t wait to go back! We truly enjoyed ourselves!
My Grandma went with us. She is so much fun – I think I finally even wore her out by shopping so much.
We finally were on the hunt for the car after walking to at least 900 shops. I know, we only went to half of them.
Next time, I want to get there on Thursday.
There is so much from yard ornaments to footwear.
(Although, we never saw any stain glass. Next time – hopefully.)
Blessings to you!!! You are loved!!!

OH sweetie noooo we have ya beat in Ky..WE are home to the world’s longest yard sale it starts in Ky and runs clear to Georgia AND in October the county next to us has October Court days and they run from Friday night through Monday morning and this small town of maybe 10000 give or take overflows with over 3 million people in 3 days.. It closes down nearly 3 miles of town and runs 8 blocks wide.. and I would bet you could find stained glass there.. we have EVERYTHING

I can’t believe you are leaving us hanging…show us the goods! LOL I do LOVE to shop in Canton, but I never seem to get there anymore. We even have one of those cart wheely things to hold the goods. Yes, you walk forever, but it is so much fun. Did you make it to the Sunday House before they sold out?
