If you who grew up in the Dallas area or who have lived here for a long period of time , then you're probably already aware of a not so little something known as
For those of you who aren't familiar , First Monday is a gigantic flea market of sorts , where vendors come from all over to sell everything from antiques to refurbished items to handcrafted pieces of art. They also have food and fun for families if you want to bring the little ones .
These trade days are held on the Thursday through Sunday before the first Monday of everything month . . . got it ?
This was my first time going ( I know , as a native Texan I am embarrassed to admit that ) and I was in no way prepared for the awesomeness that was waiting for me. I spent about 4 hours there and made it half way down one side of one pavillion .
I could easily decorate my entire home in one weekend there .
I held back from buying too much - you really need to take a full day just to see what all there is and then head back to make purchases - but I did snag a few pieces that I can't wait to get back home to Utah .
If you live in or near Dallas and haven't been to Canton First Monday yet , get yourself there .
And even if you live far away , make a weekend out of it !
It will be completely worth the trip .
You just might need to rent a Uhaul .
Hope y'all are having a great start to your week !
