Souvenir Spoons, Vintage Spice Boxes, Collectibles



**********************************
Got to the flea market Sunday morning about 5am, only a few dealers hanging around, I figured there would be an early bunch because weather forecast was good. Wandered around lots of empty tables then a little before 7am it started to get a little light and dealers started streaming in. Not much later the market was full. Got set up and had some action early then there was a dead spot for a while so wandered about again and bought some stuff, hey someones gotta keep the economy going. About 9:30 business picked up and I stayed until about 2pm. Took my time packing which always seems to be a good selling time.

Worked on some purchases Monday, did a post office run and then added some items to the shop. Figure I'll try to get a bunch of goodies into the shop this week, maybe we'll have a Christmas holiday rush this year and it will all sell, probably not. Added another bunch of vintage road maps to the shop plus other items. Ok, back to work now, got lottsa stuff to add.

A nice group of vintage souvenirs, why travel to all those places when you can just by souvenirs. Reminds me of an older lady who use to buy a lot of odd souvenirs at the flea market years ago. She said they were all displayed all around her house and people thought she was a world traveler, she was never out of New Jersey in her life. But she read a lot and had stories about all the souvenirs.
