Hardware Gizmos at the Morningstar Marketplace in Thomasville, PA



My husband and I were driving on Rt. 30, 
through Thomasville, PA, which is just west of York.
The Morningstar Marketplace caught our eye
and we had no choice but to veer over and check it out.




Along with farm market vendors with a super selection of fruits and vegetables, 
other foods were available like baked goods, meats, and cheeses.
Vendors also sold typical flea market antiques and such, plus
crafts, collectibles, garden plants and tons more.

Our favorite by far was a large tent with an enormous selection
of what I'd have to describe as hardware store items.
It was fun to just dig through things and neb into bins and boxes.
Lots of curiosities to pique our interests, that's for sure.

A song from Disney's "Little Mermaid" came to mind...
gadgets and gizmos aplenty, whozits and whatzits galore, thing-a-mabobs...
you get the idea.

There was such a wide variety of totally random items!
Before ya knew it, I was snapping photos. 
(My hubby has come to expect this and knew it was coming.
God bless him for being patient with me when I get started.)

So here is just a small representation of some of the stuff we saw~



 First, we'll get to the nuts and bolts of the place...😉









A flyswatter in any pastel shade that could suit your fancy.







For the kiddies-



Now, what little boy wouldn't love these?



Or, better yet... is that really what I think it is? Yup.







Here's the Morningstar Marketplace website.

The Antique & Vintage Market at The Kimmel Center

An afternoon in Philadelphia began with a stop at The Kimmel Center.
Best known as a performing arts venue for concerts and theater,
today it hosted peddlers of antiques and collectibles,
who filled the gorgeous Kimmel Center lobby with their wares.

Here are some highlights of what we saw~



How about this accordion?
