Swap Meet - 8/18/2012

Here are a few swap meet finds from last weekend.


This was my find of the day . . . a vintage Coach wallet.  I had a hard time understanding the seller when I asked "how much".  I couldn't tell if she was saying $8, $18 or $80.  I had to ask her around 3 times.

It was $8 and in really good shape . . . so I got it.  Score!

Geri is really into matryoshka dolls and got these for $2.   I can never remember the name for um and I end up calling um babushka dolls.

I had a tube of this for a long time and I really liked it.  It got old though so I dumped it awhile back.  I was glad to see it for sale at the swap meet.  It was $5.

Geri bought this squeak squeak toy for her dog Star.  It was $2.

I didn't buy this plant, but I thought it was so neat.  The guy said it's called a Lipstick Plant. He said that when there are a lot of flowers on it, it cascades over and is really pretty.  It was $4.

These papaya were 90 cents/pound . . . more expensive than a lot of the other sellers', but looked really good so me and Geri bought some.

Looks like they're from B. Shiroma Farm.

There was a little kid selling some of his toys.  We thought that was so cool.  Geri bought this helmet from him.  He was asking $1 . . . Geri gave him $2. It uses batteries so we think it lights up.

We noticed a garage sale sign on the way home so we followed it.  I got this big insulated bag for $1.  I thought Landon could use it for his drinks when he goes fishing.
