What you didn't know you needed

I met these lovely ladies not too long ago.
Do you want to know where they were hanging out?

I found them at our county's Third Monday Trade Days.
Do you know what that is?
A giant flea market.

100 years ago, judges rode the circuit, visiting lots of little towns to preside over court proceedings once a month.

Residents would gather to participate in or observe court proceedings and saw it as an opportunity to swap goods with each other.

Thus began Trade Days.

I was bummed I couldn't bring Annie,

but I did bring my camera!

I was tempted to buy so many unique items,

but I purposefully didn't bring but a few dollars with me.

I think I'd put the mermaid in my bathroom. Near our big garden tub.

The men didn't mind me taking pictures of their popcorn.

But, I'm sure they thought I was weird.

sigh.

I get that a lot these days.

I could totally collect old keys. I could be easily obsessed with collecting them.

What do you like to collect?

I'm not sure what these are. Decoration? Hooks? I should have looked closer.

My favorite item of the day?

Purses made out of old cowboy boots.

I want one.

I may have to bring money next time.

Would you have bought any of those things?

Surely something tempted you...
