Excerpted from the American Tapestry the Mowers of Maple
Lane pg 19
“Vendors shop everywhere! All one needs is a car, a roll of
cash and a tank of gas and you could be in business. Two of the most popular
places to shop are; house sales and yard sales. “Your trash is my treasure: the
motto expressed by successful antique seller Len Sickler of Kingston is modeled
by many Woodstock vendors. Many will take on the task of cleaning out houses,
barns and garages of entire contents, with the hope that one or two valuable
items will make the hard dirty work worth the effort.
New vendors and different products for our 45th season.
In the 21st century, vendors still continue to
hunt for resalable items at house sales and yard sales. However, as we enter into our 45th
season of flea marketing, we notice that what vendors bring to the market has
changed somewhat. Now, there is quite a
demand for vintage clothing and wearable items.
Mackenzie is one of our newer vendors who brings along items
for sale that are not the usual items you would see at a house content sale.
Mackenzie had one season at the flea in 2016 and then had a pause in the
selling part of her life, reemerging in the summer of 2021. By her own admission, she enjoys the “thrifting”
side of the hunt for those hidden gems she has for sale at the flea. Mackenzie sets up every Saturday and she also
sells online and can be found at her Instagram page under the name mack_bones. Her booth is filled with quirky and fun items,
a few of which she has created herself. Overall, vintage clothing and jewelry
is her focus.
