Saturday I went to the flea market. By flea market ,I mean mostly "expensive antique
market" .There were so many people there you could barely walk at a normal pace,it was more like a mass shuffle.
It took me all day to see everything.

I wound up buying 2 little clay pots from Iceland. Here's the kind of merchandise that was on display.
(not my actual photos)
I was not in the market for any of that sort of stuff though. I was more in the market for a butter dish. I did see an old stuffed cat I was rather fond of but I didn't buy it.
The internet told me all about another flea market on Sunday and since my other choice of entertainment was watching boring old movies with my spouse I decided to on the flea market.
I left home on the subway then got on a bus. My directions said "10 stops" ,well they lied. I wound up getting off the bus too soon and walking for miles in the wrong direction. So there I am
Sa-weet!!!!!It was a 500 kroner bill ,just lying there on the road! Woo hoo!
(that would be about 90 US dollars)
After much more freezing,limping and bitching I found the supposed flea market which was now an empty boarded up building.Gah!
I guess the 90 bucks was worth my suffering though. I got home and told hubby "that money is already slated for some comfortable shoes baby!"
Found money is meant to be squandered .That's my motto.

What a mob scene at the first flea. You will be the only person in the whole state of Arkansas to own clay pots from Iceland. Wow! Kewel. The green vase is very attractive. God wanted you to make that cold walk and find that Kroner bill. So spend it on yourself. 4 to 5 inches of snow here shut the whole city down. It snowed all Sun evening and part of Monday. Pretty but cold. Tonight will be down to about 18. Stay warm. G5
