Mad Hatter Flea Market starts Friday

Here's another don't-miss-it event for your calendar: The Mad Hatter Vintage Flea Market, which will be held Friday and Saturday.

The event is organized by mother-daughter team Gladys and Celia Hanning, of Junebug Furniture & Design, who are regulars in Spokane's creative-vintage scene. They sell their goods at the Farm Chicks and the Funky Junk shows, among other events.

The Mad Hatter Vintage Flea Market is celebrating its second anniversary. It drew almost 1,000 shoppers in 2009.

The Hannings are known for setting a magical storybook scene for the show, which will be held at the Five Mile Prairie Grange, 3024 W. Strong Road.

The event includes 17 vendors selling antiques, handmade gifts and vintage treasures.

Hours are 4 to 9 p.m. on Friday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday. Admission is $4.

You can read more about the Hannings on Cheryl-Anne Millsap's Treasure Hunting blog and get a feel for their eclectic style by clicking through the photos above.

Happy shopping! And remember, the holidays are just around the corner ...
