FL Flea Markets
This weekend found us in Tampa FL celebrating T.’s grandmother’s 90th birthday. My first trip since school started when I wasn’t doing reading or school work every free moment which made coming across the Oldsmar Flea Market all the more delicious (photos courtesy of Tour of America). We spent this morning scouting it out and it didn’t disappoint. We scored a funky magazine rack (JUST like one in grandma’s house) and some small picture frames that I have grand plans for. There was a great fresh produce market that looked and smelled wonderful. Not pictured but worthy of note were the salt and pepper shakers “makin’ bacon” which featured mating pigs. Needless to say a good time was had by all.
The Tampa area is full of flea markets and I can’t wait to go back:

If you’re looking for good food in the Tampa/ St. Petersburg area you won’t be disappointed by Chattaway — an authentic burger joint with a beautiful garden (10 or so container gardens in old bathtubs!!) that was a nice respite from the big box strip malls that seem to be slowly removing any sort of authenticity from FL.
