A Visit to Mongers Market
/Hi Friends this past Sunday I made a quick trip to Bridgeport, CT with my dear friend Kristin - our goal was not to miss Mongers Market 1155 Railroad Avenue - (Hours: 10am-4pm $3.00 cash entry fee) because there last day of business is June 8th and they are only open Sundays there are just 3 shopping days left. I encourage a visit but understand parking is challenging. The markets parking lot and Railroad Avenue offer limited spaces. We found a spot a block away under an overpass.
It was so worth it though - wow - nothing like a 75,000 sq. ft. filled vendors selling everything from architectural salvage, art, ceramics, decor, furniture, glassware, jewelry, lighting, tabletop, vintage clothing and more. Here are a few images of our day.
1155 RAILROAD AVENUE BRIDGEPORT CONN. 06605
Architectural Salvage is first thing you find after paying the $3.00 entry fee.
Amazing vintage transferware platters and plates.
These vintage metal hand-painted lamps were incredible (and Kristin).
Things that reminded me of my childhood. A giant plastic liquor bottle bank, a guitar pillow and the Lanz nightgown.
This hand-painted metal trunk was the coolest.
After walking around for 3 hours we were hungry. We made our way to Brewport for salad and pizza and of course a glass of Prosecco!
The day was so fun! We enjoyed the Market and the Mongers were all wonderfully friendly. Some told us they are moving to another location in Bridgeport - so you never know - we may see them again.
I love my new thrifted finds: a necklace that converts to a broach, a pretty porcelain cloisonne box and a wonderful ship plate for my wall.
