Also, books and magazines that include an eclectic assortment of topics.  Both women agree that they love the social aspect of visiting each weekend with their customers and fellow flea market vendors as well.  

Susan has been selling at Mower's Saturday Sunday flea market for 43 years

Sue has been a vendor at Mower’s Saturday Sunday Flea market in Woodstock for 43 years. At the beginning, she didn’t set up her booth every weekend. Now, she is one of the vendors who returns every weekend. Sue’s booth is down the Maple Lane side of the flea market field. She carries a smattering of antiques, vintage clothing and jewelry. During the summer season she carries a great supply of luau shirts. Sue is also one of our makers at the market. She creates many of the jewelry pieces that she has for sale. Over the past few years, Sue has started bringing her own art work. Sue loves all aspects of selling at the flea market, which includes the buying, creating and selling every weekend at the flea market in Woodstock.

Mackinzie's Specially Selected Vintage Clothing and Jewelry

 

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 21^st century, vendors still continue to hunt for resalable items at house sales and yard sales.  However, as we enter into our 45^th 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.
