I totally missed the opening day of Randolph Street Market and am disappointed. It’s only open on the last weekend of each month, from May – September. That doesn’t give us a lot of opportunities for fun antique shopping, particularly with the July dates being during BlogHer and the August dates being during TW’s birthday weekend.
I went ahead and purchased the season pass, hopeful that the valet parking and the admission to the extra events would make it worth it. We shall see.
We bought just a few things during our first visit. TW’s mom bought an aluminum cake holder (no idea why she did this but she did.) I bought a shirt for Michelle, for Christmas. TW bought cool retro pattern potholders.
We were tempted by some retro kitchen tables and chairs, a retro desk, some really fantastic wood furniture that would have solved all of our kitchen problems but won’t work now due to the wheelchair needs of TW’s mom.
Also tempted by huge neon signs, old toys from our childhood, and lots of other antiquey goodness that we do not NEED.
I think part of the fun is buying the stuff you do not need. But then you end up with clutter which then overwhelms me. Hmm, antiquing is so hard.
