1st Sunday Tanque Verde Antique Market



Since I first moved to Tucson, I've been going to the monthly Antique Market off of Tanque Verde Road, east of Agua Caliente Park.  It's gotten to be that I recognize and am recognized by various vendors.
There's a gal who always sets up to the left of the interior space (It's at an elementary school), and whose wares are often of the retro kind.  And then to the right of the door is a nice family that lived in Turkey for a few years and usually has a nice array of Turkish rugs, purses, and decorations.  Out on the playfield are the vendors who display huge bull skulls, saddles, Indian rugs and the like.  Some of my purchases have been:  a cool pair of retro Acme cowboy boots (with pretty embossed flowers), a Zapotec rug, several Pyrex bowls, and an iron cornbread muffin pan (to form the bread as corncobs).

On December 1, the vendors were out in droves, as were the lookie-lous.  Prices were a bit inflated for the occasion, too!
