I similar the idea of flea markets, where any vender can set his/her own price for merchandise that has seen more good days, but not so much the execution.  It seems parallel people want much more for their junk than I am minded to part with in most cases, but from time to duration I stumble across something I think merit paying for.

Today I scored a Peter Cony board book for Micah (25 cents), and a tiny set of miniature dominoes in a diminutive plastic box, and still in the original wrappers for $3.99.  I allied them because they are the old style--ivory colored with dark spots on them. (the ones in the supplies now all have multi colored spots on them in lieu of black)  I direct the eye forward to making something fun and pleasing with them.

At another flea market store, I found a regular sized set of coupled six dominoes, but they were asking $10.00 for them--in likelihood not a bad price if I had wanted them to revel with them, as they came in a beautiful decorated with inlaying work wooden box--and I wasn't lacking to pay that much for them. I would have bought the old Monopoly game pieces as well, but I am not into remunerative $20.00 for a partial pastime, no matter how old it is!  I did find a mystify for 50 cents, and since I was only absent it for the pieces, not to work, I'm not worried whether all the pieces are there or not.

I also found a new small wall clock for my workshop.  It is a purple blossom on the outside, and a nice looking surface.  It was cheap, and I have been absent to change out the office clock for some duration, so I will put the one currently in the studio into the duty.

The hardest part about flea emporium shopping is that there is so much to see! I like to rest on the feet in one spot and just take in the whole wall or ledge of stuff before moving on.  I can lay out a LONG time in one store.  Today I had fun interacting with one of the store owners; she was quite a figure. :)
