Swap Meet 5/19/2012

Me and my sisters went to the swap meet again today, but I'll post today's pictures in a few days.  These pictures are actually from 2 weeks ago. 

As you can see it was another busy day . . . and hot, hot, hot.IMG_5527

Sweetie has da bomb umbrella for shade. She said she bought it at Kaiser Permanente for $15.  It's really much cooler under it.

I see this box of dolls every week.  It's kinda creepy if you ask me.

Katniss would be in heaven!! And ahem...why do you spend $2 on stamps when you won't take mines for free???!! :(

Erick said...

Those Russian dolls are super cool!

jalna said...

Dean, I'm thinking we probably gotta have a garage sale soon!

I know Les . . .

Geri loves those dolls Erick.

Susan said...

I also loved those Russian dolls and the last bowl. Jalna, you and stamps just can't be apart, lol!

jalna said...

Funny thing about the bowl Susan. I had seen it several times and had wondered why Geri (the glass lover) never bought it. Turns out she never saw it . . . until this recent outing . . . which is good 'cause I think originally it was going for $5. And damn those stamps Susan! :)

Betty Townsend said...

LOL! I think I have that stamp set!! It is amazing what people have to sell...

jalna said...

Betty, the problem I have with avoiding buying stamps is that I know how much they would've cost brand new, and these are so cheap . . . and I'm so weak.

Mariko said...

Oh, I need to go. So badly. Even if I don't find anything it's so fun! It's been a year at least.
I have some friends that come here every year and they're antique shoppers (they resell at markets) and they always find some amazing stuff. Wish I had a better eye!

Banana blossoms are actually really tasty. I haven't made them but someone else made it for me once.

You've had the sosop, Mariko! I'm so curious about it. Don't forget to take your mom to the swap meet the next time she comes.
