Fleas and Warrior Backpack Program

Handcrafted jewelry by the Hickman Gals of Lebanon. These earrings are so cute, you have to get some.  If you can tell from my not very good photo, the pair of earrings in the foreground are a fudge stripped cookie on the left and one with a bit out of it on the right.  The whimsical ideas from these kids are super.  There is one set that's a bag of fries for one earring and a cheeseburger for the other. Another set features a fried egg for one earring and bacon for the other.  Some sets match, like the pumpkins in the top right hand tea cup.
If you don't know already, the WCHS rents out spaces in the Old Post Office for our quarterly flea markets.  Today and tomorrow is the summer edition of the event and we have some new vendors as well as some old favorites.  One of the new vendors I thought you might like to know about is the Itsy Bitsy Project run the The Hickman Gals here in Lebanon. These three enterprising young ladies and their folks are offering their handmade jewelry in support of the Warrior Backpack
Program out of the Lebanon Public Schools.  The Warrior Backpack Program supplies weekend meals for kids in need in our community. The Hickman Gals are donating the proceeds from the sale of their jewelry to to the program.  They have earrings, hairpins and necklaces, all very reasonably priced starting at $2.00 and all handmade by the girls. 

Lots of great fleas to see! Open Friday and Saturday, July 27 and 28 from 10:00am to 4:00pm.
Free admission to the flea market!!
