**********************************
Well I was off to the flea market early this morn, temperature was in the 40's, so an extra coat was put on. Got there around 6am and it was pretty full of dealers, had to hunt a bit to get three tables together. Got some on a main walway but they turned out to be in the shade. Sun didn't get there until about 11am so it was chilly standing around. Did a little shopping before setting up, picked up a few items, nothing outstanding though. Slow start selling put it slowly picked up. Not a great day but ok. Started to pack around noon or a little after, as usual sold more while packing.
Tommorrow is yard sale day, so maybe I can find that rare elusive treasure I've been looking for. And then it's back to the market on Sunday.
Got an assortment of items listed in the shop yesterday,

Joe,
It was good seeing you, if only briefly, on Friday. BTW, that ceramic elephant is a playing card holder. I guess it could also hold a pack of cigarettes, but I'm pretty sure it was for cards.
Hi Mary, Thought about that but the opening looks a little small and sort of tapers as it goes down. But could be? Will have to research a bit.
See ya, Country Joe
