The Flea Market
Had a fun day looking through two different flea's. One an annual one at a local Mobil Park. got a couple of scarves and a bedspread and then a couple of cups without their saucers. They were made in England and had beautiful roses on them, so I wanted them, saucers or not. The spread will go to my daughter. She doesn't always get out and about and find the bargains that I do!! Then on to the flea market that comes every month on the second Saturday. It was larger this time, but I was more selective than usual. Although I saw some things I might like, I didn't buy, as I am trying not to get anymore things until I get some of the stuff put away, or rid of that I don't really like anymore. My tastes have changed over the years, and guess that it is changing once more. I did find a couple of books however. They were old, and one had neat poems and pictures of the early 1900's in it. The other one, a collectible by John Steinbeck. A issue of 1938. A good year! :-) Oh, forgot one thing! Duh!! A beautiful medium sized mirror that was framed by shells, my weakness!! Very pretty, and put to use right away. So all in all nice hunting expedition! We came home for lunch, and then went to see our friend in the convalescent home. He was in good spirits and even had a few funny stories. It was nice to see him smiling again, and his color better. Ta Ta Antique Rose

Your flea market shopping day sounds like so much fun! The collectible by John Steinbeck...what a find! You know my tastes have changed too over the years and once every couple of years I have a garage sale. If I don't have time, I call Purple Heart and then it's fun to get rid of a few things and know they are going to a "good home"! Have a great week!
