D*A*L*E....... WAKE UP....IT'S TIME TO CATCH THE FLEA MARKET BUG!!!!!!!

'TIS THE SEASON FOR FLEA MARKETS, TAG SALES, GARAGE SALES, CRAFT SHOWS, BAZAARS; I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THAT BARGAIN :)
HERE ARE SOME TIPS ON WHAT TO BRING WHEN YOU GO "SHOPPING" OR "SALEING" AS I CALL IT:
"'GOOD COMFORTABLE SHOES
"'DRESS IN LAYERS,AS IT WILL WARM UP. "'SUNGLASSES, SUNSCREEN (ALTHOUGH I DON'T MIND
A TAN!
* A BIG TOTE OR A MARKET CART ( I "SHABBV CHICED" MINE WITH A REMOVABLE LINER.)
*PEN, PAPER, BUBBLE WRAP FOR YOUR GLASS WARE.
* A TAPE MEASURE AND A LIST OF YOUR DIMENSIONS IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO FIT A CERTAIN SPACE.
NOW FOR THE "HUNT"; ARRIVE EARLY TO STAND IN LINE OR PAY EARLY BUYERS.
*IF YOU SEE SOMETHING YOU WANT GRAB IT, DON'T LET IT SLIP AWAY; YOU CAN TRY TO HAGGLE A BETTER PRICE, BUT DON'T BE INSULTING, YOU'LL ONLY MAKE THE SITUATION WORSE AND THEY WON'T DEAL WITH YOU AT ALL! ( I SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE)!
HERE ARE SOME "DEALS" I'VE PURCHASED:
TWO LEAD GLASS WINDOWS FOR $10 EA.
*A LARGE PANTRV BUCKET FOR $5
EARLY GATHERING BASKET FOR $30
* ARCHITECTURAL PIECES FROM $2-$10 SOME OF MY FAVORITE FLEA MARKETS ARE:
* ELEPHANTS TRUNK IN NEW MILFORD, CONN.; IT'S THE BEST I'VE BEEN TO
* THE MEADOWS IN PA.
* BRIMFIELD, MASS. IN MAY,JULY AND SEPT.
THESE ARE ONES I HOPE TO GET TO THIS SUMMER:
* THE ANNEX ANTIQUES FAIR AND FLEA MARKET IN N. Y.
* RENNINGERS AND KUTZTOVVN IN PA.
* SANTA MONICA IN CA.
