I had a request for a blog post sans sadness. I had to run some errands today to prepare for the holiday. As we headed to the supermarket I thought I would take on a new adventure and enter the odd little building tucked in the rear of the parking lot. It used to be a furniture store. Now it is the Weekend Flea Market Bargains.
Odd. Bizarre. Depressing. These are some words that came to mind as I browsed the strange counters and spaces set up in the large building. I then realized if I looked at it as entertaining...I would enjoy it that much more.
These are some things you can find at the Weekend Flea Market Bargains store: an Abraham Lincoln cologne bottle, Asian food items, hot pink inflatable electric guitar, saddle shoes, Right Guard deodorant, a 1920 barber chair, skis, a mink coat, a foil art piece of the Last Supper, an armless child mannequin, crossbow, bottle of Nair, and some unmarked bottles of jam...maybe...in reused salsa jars.
I took some photos of some of my favorite finds. It truly was a little scary and sort of sad but it was an adventure and something I've never done before. I like antiques and flea markets as much as the next person but this was more a trip into some odd other dimension and I took a deep breath of fresh air when I left the building. Ironically, there was ONE item I would have purchased but it was marked NOT FOR SALE....but boy would we have had a blast with the one-man-band instrument complete with cowbell and tambourine!!!
