Aloha Swap Meet

We found out from the sellers at the Kam swap meet that the fee for them to sell at Kam went up to $35 while it's only $15 at the Aloha Stadium swap meet. So a lot of them have migrated to Aloha. For reasons I don't fully understand, they've chosen to only sell at Aloha on Sundays and not on Saturdays.

Here is a compilation of two Sundays' shopping at Aloha.

A lady bought this cut one for $15.

When I saw this lamp going for $85 I realized that maybe things go for a bit higher at Aloha than at Kam.

This couple was fundraising to earn money to participate in the 2012 Aloha Festivals. They will represent the Kaho'olawe pa'u unit.

Had choke food items.

This was a popular tent.  She also had cookies which were to the right of the breads, but was kinda crowded so I couldn't get a shot of um.

I bought these for $1.50 each.  They were good.

I wanted to try the sugar-free haupia, but hadn't brought a cooler so I didn't buy it.
IMG_1248

This was gooood and only $1 each.  I bought two but gave one away to a stranger . . . wish I neva . . . I regretted it later when I couldn't find the seller again.

The lady in line before me asked me how many of these Spanish Rolls did I want.  I said just one . . . me and Sweetie were gonna share.  So she bought all but one.  It was only 50 cents each and really ono.
IMG_1278

Me and Sweetie also shared one of these.  It was the best jin dui I ever ate . . . not oily at all.  Had coconut and black bean.
IMG_1282

I loooooved how they set up the items in this tent.  It was like being in a store. 
IMG_1269

Look how cute. One of the sellers gave me a flyer.  They're called Vintage Rose.

They were selling this Brownie camera for $68.  We got one exactly like it in our hall closet!  With flash too!
IMG_1261

IMG_0965

You know my sisters and glass . . .
IMG_0936

I don't remember how much these were.  So pretty.
IMG_0945

Sweetie bought this one for $3.
IMG_1242

I thought this was funny.
IMG_1285

These vintage Coach bags were selling for $10 each.
IMG_1284

I was checking this one out for awhile so Sweetie bought it for me.  It was $15. Thank you Sweetie . . . I love it!
IMG_1306

I bought this piece of wood for Geri for $2.  Yes, a piece of wood.  Hey, she likes wood . . . and it's koa.
IMG_1292

Kid time we each had a stamp collection album.  It was so much fun collecting stamps and organizing them in our albums.  Unfortunately, only Sweetie still has hers.  Me and Didi are bummed that we probably left ours in our old house when we moved.  So I couldn't resist when the seller offered all these for $10, especially since I can tell from the postmark on some of them that they're from the '70's. Except now I don't know quite what to do with um.
IMG_0983

I bought this for $1.
IMG_0952

And I couldn't resist . . . soooo cute.  This was $2.  Got two separate zippered sections.
IMG_1287

I bought this mosaic plate for Sweetie.  It was $2.
IMG_0948

Don't ask.  Dunno why I got this.  Maybe 'cause it was only $2 and I thought it was neat.  Comes with an instruction book too.  I'm trying to find it a good home.  So far, no takers.
IMG_1239

Didi found but didn't buy this Mr. Potato Head set.  It was $10.
IMG_0941

She did buy this musical wooden spoon/drumstick set for $1. Uh-huh, yes she did.
IMG_0926

These wooden puzzles were $3 each.
IMG_0919

I bought this rhinestone pin for $6.  Dunno why I love rhinestone pins.

I still not feeling better but this post made me laugh. I never had jin-dui before, it looks delicious. What? A Couch bag for $15? Did you forgot to put extra zero at the end?

jalna said...

Awww Akemi, I hope you get to feeling better soon. The Coach bag was "vintage". I think the seller said she had it for 10 years. Jin dui is like fried mochi with either coconut or an inside. Maybe you'll get to eat some the next time you're here.

coconut filling!! Glad your posting normal again : )
