Kam Swam Meet - 3/17/2012

For the first time in weeks there was no wind and no rain on this swap meet day, so choke vendors were out selling their stuff.  There were lots to choose from but boy was it HOT HOT HOT. 

Didi was drawn to these cookbooks.  She didn't buy any.  I think she probably got um all already dat's why.


Geri is so good at weeding through stuff.  She's real patient and takes the time to dig through things and has a good eye.  I tend to scan the surface and will miss a lot.  Often I'll see something in Geri's hand and go, "Hey, are you getting that?" 


She found this putting ball return thing and bought it for $10.


One seller had lots and lots of rubber stamps.  I didn't dare ask how much she was selling them for.  I soooo do not need more rubber stamps.


Didi bought this zippered silk pouch for 25 cents!


This kid's float suit was selling for $4.


These doorknobs reminded me of my grandparent's "Up Puunui" house. They were selling for $35.


This clock reminded me of their house too. . . and even the view-master thing next to it . . . I remember looking through my cousin's one at the house.


Someone had just bought horns similar to this and I asked him how much he had paid.  He said that he paid $25. I wanted to take his picture, but he declined. 


Funny story about this plate.  Didi pointed out the plate to me and said that the guy was selling it for $2.  She walked away.  The guy then stood up from his seat, approached me and said, "I told her $2, but for you . . . $1."  Hahahaha!!   Then Geri saw a big bell and asked him how much it was.  He said, "$6."  Geri said, "So how much is it for my sister?"


I loved the photo on this book.  Don't know how much the book was, but Geri asked about the silver belly dancing outfit to the right of it.  It was $65. She didn't buy it.


She bought this glass vase for 25 cents instead.


These baby quail were going for $25 each.


This is a coconut husker.  By 9:30 the owner of the husker had sold all of his coconuts and was packing up to leave.


These are solar-powered vibrating cockroaches.  I know you want one.


Tools for the lady.


I have no idea . . .






I got this container of beads for $2.50. It was actually going for $3.  I also wanted the necklace in the next picture which was also going for $3.  Didi told me to offer $5 for both.  So I did, and after a bit of thought the seller agreed.




These bracelets were all 50 cents each except for the pearl one on the top.  That was $2.  I'm trying to stock up for my young-lady dress-up photo shoots.


Geri bought this sock monkey for me.  It was $1.


I thought I'd make him my first dress-up model.  Awesome, hah!
