My favorite place to thrift

Every year (And by that, I mean last year and then again this year), my husband and I take the kiddos on a road trip vacation. We go through Indiana, stopping at the Indy zoo, visit his grandparents and aunt in Kentucky, see the sights, and this year we threw in Cincinnati and went to see the Reds. We do all sorts of stuff along the way, but the reason I go is for the Peddler's Mall.
It's an amazing place. It's Heaven. Well, it's my heaven. It's full of such wonderful things, old things, cheap things. It's so awesome and I'm in love with it.
If you are ever in Louisville, KY, I highly recommend you visit. There are actually 2 we went to (the one with the 2 floors is better, but both were good). Also there's this flea market called, "World's Most Awesome Flea Market. I think that's what it's called. Anyway, it is awesome. I keep telling my husband that one of these days, we're taking a truck down there and just buying a bunch of furniture for me to fix up. Below are some pictures... also soon I will show you a project made from something I bought down there... it's a surprise for now though.

So this is the one I'm in love with.
Peddlers Mall, LLC
11310 Preston Hwy
Louisville, KY 40229
This one was new to us this time around. It was really awesome and really cheap.
Outer Loop Peddler's Mall
5718 Outer Loop
Louisville, KY 40219
This is where I found stuff like this...
At only $50, this deco-era trunk is a steal!


Ok, my mom is Catholic. Very Catholic. She collects vintage icons and religious pieces. This was $2, so I got it for her.



 
Ava with my cart full of loot and a toy we got there. It was actually for Dominic, but she claimed it, as she does with all his toys.
This is the Flea Market. Wish I knew the address or what it's really called, but when you go to KY for the Peddler's malls, you can ask anyone about it, and they'll tell you. It's the south, so they're nice down there.

Here, Ava is pointing to a woman who was toting her Yorkies around in a stroller. It was adorable, but I was trying to take a picture without seeming too obvious.


Dom on the train Ava was too scared to ride.

$2 - for my mom, of course.
 
 
I got a couple other really cool things, but I guess I haven't taken pictures of them. I will. Consider this part 1 of 2...
Happy thrifting!
