We found several places to Pull up a Seat while walking around St. Charles the other day and so, apparently, did some other characters. The first shot was taken outside Hotel Baker, the next two along the Fox River and the last at the Flea Market at Kane County Fair Grounds.

Nice variety – love the yellow Adirondack chairs and wonder how much those mermaids cost – I actually like the bird to
The right of them too
Thank you! The chairs certainly did stand out on a sunny day. And there were all kinds of neat things at the flea market. It’s the largest one I’ve ever been to.
did you get anything from the flea market?
sometimes I score and other times leave with nada
I’m notoriously tight-fisted when it comes to spending money on things just for the sake of buying them, so all I actually bought was a giant pretzel ( I was starving!) My daughter and her partner made up for it by buying all kinds of things including a decorative bird cage that she thought might look nice in our family room.
Fun collection. St Charles looks like a very interesting place.
Thank you! It’s a great place to spend the day. This was our first walking visit and will definitely go back there.
Haha that mermaid is having a great time relaxing
Yes, she did look like she was enjoying soaking up the sun.
You have a variety of pictures here , Sue! Excellent effort!!
Thanks, Indira!
The sunbathing mermaids are marvelous.
They seemed quite a popular item. I noticed them at several stalls.
