Thank you for visiting my blog about Shady Hollow Flea Market, located on Highway 59 South, Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. The 2010 season is well under way!! Make plans to visit Shady Hollow Market now, before the season slips away!!!

Just a note, many vendors are unable to accept credit/debit cards at the market. Please be prepared to pay for your purchases with cash or check!

A SHADY WEEKEND!


We'd like to thank you all for coming out this past weekend! The weather turned out great for another fun weekend of bargain hunting at Shady Hollow!!

Once again I ran into some great people who were out shopping! Of note, Wayne and his granddaughter, Tegan, stopped by my shoppe to say hi while they were out shopping! They are from Pelican Rapids and had just finished off a weekend of Turkey Days and a high school reunion there! Not sure how they managed to fit in Shady Hollow, but glad they stopped in to say hi! Isn't Tegan CUTE!!!

I also caught up with Dave and Ardy's daughters while they were out buying. It was nice to see their bright smiling faces so early in the morning! I think they have been taught well and am sure they live by Ardy's motto, "sometimes a bad day at the lakes, is a good day at the market". And of course, we all know, the early bird gets the worm! Welcome back to Detroit Lakes girls!!! It's good to see Sue, Heather and Kjerstin again! Make sure you say hi if you see them wandering about the market!

I also caught up with a long time friend and co-worker, Carlos, although I'm not sure where his wife, Kelly, was. I'm sure she wasn't far behind!! You may see them scouting the flea for bargains, or just milling about. I haven't seen them with too many purchases, although I know they have made many trips to the car. Like many of us, they are much too wise to be carrying their purchases about!!! I actually saw him near this wonderful garden art, so we might have a better understanding why he wasn't carrying his purchases.....right Carlos?!!! It's always great to see you at Shady Hollow!! Thanks for coming out! But remember, no hablo espanol!

I hadn't yet met Judy, Ann Odegaard's daughter. Ann is a vendor in one of the shoppe's among the Highway 59 cabins. Judy brought some of her beautiful perennials this day, hopefully she will bring them again, as I forgot to pick up my Monarda (Bee Balm). Sorry Judy!!! Do you see any resemblance here?!!! Hope you had a great day together at Shady Hollow!! Maybe Mary can make it out one day too!!! Make sure you stop by and say hi to Ann to see what wares she has available for sale, and of course to see which daughter she has with her on a particular Sunday!!
