There are many joys of the season in decking the halls with festive finery old and new. There is always a special place in our hearts this time of year for the tried and true vintage kitsch that recalls Christmas past. Whether repurposed farm and flea goods, collectible blow mold pieces or antiques, plants, treats and more – Rogers has you covered for unique, memorable holiday items.
So we built it … and they came.
On Saturday May 5, 2018 we somewhat quietly held a special Saturday sale for antique, vintage, handcrafted and unique items. We invited a handful of food concessions and hoped for a quaint sale of 150 or so vendors. We nearly doubled that number. Some vendors sold out.
Almost immediately vendors and visitors began asking when the “next one” would be? We weren’t sure how to answer that. Now we are.
The Next “Saturday Special Sale” will be October 6, 2018. The theme of a smaller 300+ vendor (but remember our “small “is other market’s “big”) market offering a few hundred vendors of antique, unique, vintage, handmade and hand finished items, concessions, horse drawn wagon rides, produce, pumpkins and a fun shopping event for those who enjoy spending time treasure hunting.
As of now we will host up to Seven Saturday Special Markets in addition to our Friday Flea Market year round. The Saturday Markets are not intended to mirror or replace the Fabulous Friday Market that has been going strong (and made us famous) for over 63 years. The Saturday Markets will range from special “themed” markets to full size markets open to all vendors. Be sure to follow us on Facebook (RogersFlea), Instagram(RogersAuction) and visit our website at RogersOhio.com for 2019 Saturday Dates and remember we are open Fridays All Year Round.
It’s January … something? 1st? 2nd? Eleventeenth? Something like that. I think we all lose track of time a bit over the holidays.
One thing we do know for certain is that just as Valentine’s displays bloom in stores as early as Christmas Day, so too does the desire to “Clean up!” and “Organize!” as we kick off a new year.
It can be costly, and let’s be honest, kind of homely, to stock up on plastic bins and storage totes in your local big box mart. I call storage totes “clutter coffins.” So often in using them we have not so much “cleaned up” as “put off a decision about something we should probably get rid of.” You do you.
There are so many places and spaces in our home that storage IS needed. Everyday, or seasonal, items that need a place to be. That is where the magic of FLEA-TASTIC good taste and Thrift Hunting takes form. You can repurpose vintage items for wonderful, affordable storage all around the home, barn, garage and office.
The fun part? The hunt! Start around the house and if you don’t find anything in the house, barn, garage or storage shed (surely everyone has those right?) then head on down to visit our amazing flea market vendors who are here ALL YEAR ROUND. Every Friday we have SEVEN heated buildings with a changing variety of vendors in addition to a restaurant, hot fresh Amish made doughnuts and our heartiest outdoor vendors too!
