Swap Meet 10/21/12 and 10/27/12

Here is another two-day shopping post.  I'll start with Aloha from a week ago.

Here are a few shots from the energy bar lady's tent.  Her grilled pumpkin was a dollar cheaper than the previous week. Maybe she got a good deal on pumpkins.

I took these pictures on our way in.  We also visited her tent on our way out and these were all gone.

Energy bars sold out early.

I bought this wooden box for $1.  I liked it 'cause it was signed by "Bruce" on the bottom.

I also got this for $1.

We think this is a heater.

I got two old typewriter ribbon tins and this photo for $1.  Do you think it was taken at our pier?  I just love it.  I imagine somebody just arriving from Japan took this shot.  I bet his relatives are in the group.

Sweetie bought these two bags of rocks for $3.  She's gonna use them to decorate her planters.

You'd be proud of me.  I did resist these stamps . . .  although I did whine when I looked through um real fast.

I bought this book for Sweetie. it was 25 cents.

I got these brush heads for $13.  The guy gave me a deal even though I neva even ask.

and this for $9.  They were actually $5 each and we tried to get them both for $8, but the guy would only go down a buck.

You're not gonna believe what's on the other side of this leather plate.
IMG_3667

This!!!  Cool yah!  It was $5.
IMG_3666

Maybe they did it with China Glaze.  Hahahhaha.
IMG_3663

Margaret was selling this Zellique frosted glass bird for $75.  I checked online . . . they go for at least $150.
IMG_3698

This was selling for $10.  Wonder if it really works.
IMG_3688

The French guy said I could have this when I asked him for the price.
IMG_3678

Sweetie bought this glass basket from him for $15.
IMG_3680

He was also selling this, but dunno how much it was.
IMG_3679

I was pretty much in awe when I saw this buyer in her matching outfit, but my jaw dropped even further when I turned . . .
IMG_3705

and saw this guy with his shark.  He said that he bought it for $20.
IMG_3709

This past Saturday, me and Geri went to Kam. It was a rather slow day for us shopping wise, and it was HOT HOT HOT, so we left kinda early.

Here are Geri's glass finds.

I did a bundle deal and got these two for $9.  Funny thing . . . I was gonna pay $10, but the seller thought I was hesitating and said, "Okay, okay you can have them for $9." 
IMG_3925

After lunch Geri told me about the shave ice at this place in Palolo.  We lucked out 'cause had one parking space right in front as we were driving by.

Geri had a combo mango and haupia.  Really tasted like fresh mango.

I had this strawberry bowl.  It was very, very good . . . like fresh strawberries.  And had one scoop vanilla ice cream inside!!

Marbles

I'm kinda into marbles now except I just can't tell old, vintage marbles from new just-made marbles.  There are quite a few sellers at the swap meet with bags, jars, bottles, all kine containers of marbles.  I look at um, but I haven't a clue.

So, I've been kinda studying online. I found the following pictures at Collectible Marbles.

Christensen $125
