Maker Flea Market – A Tale from “Antique Gay City”

Posted on Fri,Sep 2, 2022Sat,Sep 3, 2022 by Trixie Starr

You can always tell who’s new to Hudson, because they like to go shopping for stuff.

After you’ve lived in Hudson for a while, or your whole life, there’s a tendency to want to get rid of things. That’s my current status.

I wanted pancakes last weekend, so I invited a Hudson “newbie” to Bob’s. They said, “Let’s go to this Maker Flea Market after breakfast.” I was hesitant, but reluctantly, said yes. I did not want to buy anything beyond dog food and floor mats at Ollie’s.

I knew I was going to be bored at the market, so I needed a “game”. We decided on Maker Market BINGO (above). How many items we could spot? It kept me entertained, and made for a good instagram post.

I feel for the straight men who are “coerced” to shop at these flea markets. They are rarely there by themselves, if ever. They stand there, emasculated, holding their girlfriends’ purses while she tries on a $300 gender-neutral, monochrome burlap frock. I sense their pain and uneasiness. They, like me, probably thought they were leaving the house only for pancakes. Then, they find themselves standing there, bored, comparing throw pillows, and simmering with a silent rage.

Once you’re a long-time Hudson resident, you don’t need to BUY anything, really. People GIVE you stuff. This desk, the one I’m working on right now, is a gorgeous antique oak wood desk with a leather top. I’ve had it for years. Some guy gave it to me. He told me, if you take it out of my garage, it’s yours. Free.

That happened over ten years ago. The guy and I might have had sex, prior to him offering me the desk (or, maybe I should say, “awarding” me the desk – thank you). If we did get it on, it (obviously) was not memorable.

People come and go, but a good solid oak wood desk – that, will last you a lifetime!

This has been a true tale from the “Antique Gay City”


(A posthumous thank you to John Farley – who helped me transport this desk in his green pickup truck to my house (he did not give it to me). Farley was a pioneer for “Antique Gay City”, and would have loved that term. He is missed.)
