We went to this flea market on a Sunday in mid October. It was an overcast morning and the lot was full of vendors. I am sorry to say that we did not eat at the Redwood Grille. I would never call this an antique market even though I did find a few old toys and Jonathan found plenty of old tools to purchase. I would go back again.

There were also a handful of antique stores in the town of Wallingford.
I bought the Barbie dolls from Cathy. We discussed all the dolls we had as children.
I bought quite a few choice items this weekend. They included: 2 containers of Tinker Toys, a box of blocks including miniature bowling pins, 25 rabbit's feet, a ceramic head of Bach, 3 metal cars, 2 plastic buses, 3 train pieces, 5 beat up Barbies, Topo Gigio, a book on astronauts, plastic flowers, shell salt and pepper shakers, a small skunk, ice pick, 3 staple guns with staples and brass fasteners and a well worn wooden snake. I made one trip to the car and went back for more.
