Well as most of you know I spend my summer and fall looking for treasures.As a dealer I need to restock each week and like to be the person with the "good stuff" at resonable prices.I have regular shops I "pick" for.I don't make a ton of money doing this but it gives me the pleasure of not having to answer to a boss.I was in sales with 3 major companies for years with each and with the economy and things going over seas my departments were elemenated so I would rather just work for myself.I also owned a shop for a time but find I don't like the overhead involved it cost alot to run a shop, so fleamarket and online is the route I choose...Anyhow I try to go every Thursday,Friday and Saturday when the season is in..Sundays is our market day and hubby usually sells so I can go look or they have church service sometimes I go to that...So here are a couple of the goodies I found today.....The lady I bought this from gave me a long lecture on sauerkraut making.Of course I won't use it for that but politeness pays off when you want to negotiate..smile...Keeping this the blue decorated ones like this go for around $350 in our area I got mine under $100....After this had to go to hubbies job and ask for some more money but couldn't pass it up....It's 5 gallons bigger than it looks...

Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Memorial Day actually means a few things in my heart.First off is a appreciation for the brave men and women who fight for our freedom today and since the birth of our nation.A sadness for the lives lost and the families who lost someone close..A sense of pride and Americana spirit..The kick off to summer weekend welcome barefeet and flip flops!
Thank you for the brave who protect or freedom even when all isn't always right they protect and serve you and me...
Well I've come down with a cold and it has me run down a little so my heart hasn't been in the hunt for treasures the last two days.I've went but it was more whatever I happen upon is fine..no drive for it...I did pick up a few things but nothing grand since thursday...Hubbies drive was still good he bought a unusual old egg washer and basket,a steamer trunk and some other goodies for fleamarket but this was his "FIND" for the weekend....Hand carved old oxen yoke even has the original wood pegs to hold the yokes...It's huge...
Finally just wanted to say thank you to my sweet secret sister..This month theme was summer picnic..We do this monthly till December then find out who it is.I got so lucky with mine she is so thoughtful and sweet...Goodies she sent...
