We went to to the flea market today and found some really cool stuff- as you can see by my daughter's lovely new mask! It was loads of fun-although it was really HOT. Next time it would be better to try to get there earlier to really enjoy the meandering.It tends to get going pretty early in the AM, and starts winding down when the heat kicks in around noonish. We got there at around 11 am today, which is really late in the game, most of the vendors had already started packing up their wares.
We wandered around for about 15 minutes or so, and actually found some cute things. My younger daughter made out like a bandit with two handmade Raggedy Ann & Andy dolls. Ann is a blonde with blue button eyes and Andy is a brunette. They are so adorable and only $1.00 for the pair! The mask was a mere 25 cents!
There are always a lot of folks selling toys, Barbies, and all kinds of baby items...
I got this cute coffee cup and a cool necklace for pocket change.
Oh, and since I collect banks, I couldn't turn down a little ceramic jukebox bank. When you drop in a coin the music plays!
Don't worry guys, there are plenty of things for you to look over- my husband found an antique reel for a really good price! Of course, there are lots of tools, watches, and other stuff you might like as well!
