Against my better judgement, I enjoyed you, Trifles. Leaning more to the camp side of collectible antiquities, Trifles stretches the inventory to reflect a mad scientist's summer home on Sesame Street, decorated in the '50s, kiddified in the '60s and, oh by the way, the whole family loves Jon Waters and Elvis LPs while sunning on the Cape and doing kinetic puzzles. Confused? It's a matter of personal taste. She got a loose-at-the-seams children's books called The House That Jack Built, and I got a number of stunning visuals, and a walk down TV Blvd, off Memory Lane. Not bad for a quick (and jovial) pop in to an outskirt shop on Front Street.

I have always enjoyed a stop at this flea market whenever we are in the area on a weekend. The…read morelast two visits, last summer and this year in mid-August have been disappointing. It seems there are very few vendors any more. Most of the table spaces on our most recent Saturday visit were empty. The sellers continue to be an interesting bunch which is true of the sellers at any flea market I've ever been too. They will chat you up with stories of all kinds; they are "characters". Most of the vendors here are Mainers with a few other folks who travel from flea market to flea market around New England in the summer and warmer climes in the winter. This flea market holds a special place for me though. More than 25 years ago when I first came here with my husband (an inveterate collector and antique maven from childhood!) I found what became the first of my now overflowing collection of vintage cocktail shakers....and in fact the one I bought here is one of the most valuable in my collection. I remember I paid $22.00 for it having "talked the seller down" from $25.00 dollars. That emerald green glass shaker is now worth a couple of hundred dollars but I would never part with it. It's a beauty. At that time I was not nearly as interested in flea markets as my husband was and is. He would stop at any flea market he saw back then to my eye-rolls and groans. He would say to me: "Find something to collect and you will love them too". How right he was! It was the memory of my parents NYC cocktail parties that got me thinking of collecting the cocktail shakers and some other vintage cocktail era memorabilia. As a child peeking into the living room at one of my parent's parties, I saw glamour, sophistication and beauty....the women beautiful in their dresses and the men handsome in their suits and ties. I have photos of my parents' parties with cocktail shakers at the ready to pour martinis and I was inspired to go on the cocktail era memorabilia hunt. It's been sad to see the decline in vendors here at Montsweag...and maybe this means a decline in interest in flea markets? We will still stop here when we are in the area with high hopes there is a turn-around. If you're vintage hounds like we are, it's simply a fun way to spend a couple of hours.

I was impressed with the helpfulness of the staff as I had questions regarding my purchases. In conversation they recommended Indian Trail Antiques as a "Mantiques" location. They were spot on! We programmed the GPS and were off, two 14 year olds, my wife and I. We arrived to find out that they are closed on Monday's and Tuesdays, however, Charles was working in yard/barn and invited us in, turning on the lights on all 3 floors of his large barn. We had a tour along with the stories of how he acquired some of his collection. The barn was neat and orderly and reminded me of the show American Pickers Antique Archeology store.
