Since we are moving and I have already discussed my "spring cleaning" and purging in great detail, we are all familiar with the fact that I had LOTS of stuff to get rid of. So being back on my Altace and not feeling like death warmed over, we set out for the flea market to rid ourselves of these lovely items that have been gathering dust for ages.
I have lots of lovely clothes from Gap, Old Navy, The Limited, Ann Taylor, Ralph Lauren, DKNY, and others as well. Sunglasses from Kenneth Cole, Ralph Lauren, Nine West, Calvin Klein, etc. I also have some other nice stuff as well. I figure this stuff will be what goes first and I will be stuck with all the junk. Imagine my shock when everyone starts buying the tacky crap that mom dragged home from some yard sale somewhere!!
"Oooh! Look!! A shadow box for my bathroom!!"
"Ooh! Beat up Adidas sneakers!" (I feel bad that someone probably needed them that badly)
This one pair of shoes that I thought for sure I would have to throw out...sold for ten cents! The Adidas sneakers went for fifty cents.
On Friday this British guy came through and bought a bunch of VHS tapes I had. He didn't have his glasses, so I had to read the back of the box of some of them to him. The awesome Spice Girls movie, Spice World, was in the mix of these fifty tapes or so (yes...please keep your "what the heck are you doing with the Spice Girls movie" to yourself), so we had a discussion of the Spice Girls and each of them separately as well. This guy was at least in his fifties. It was very strange.
Some Indian guy came and bought all of my perfume and Bath and Body Works stuff...I hope it was for a girl friend or wife...
At the end of the day, I started giving away the stuff I REALLY DID NOT WANT TO TAKE HOME! Then I gave a bunch of it to another vendor that I have known for years!
It was an interesting weekend and I made about $200, so not too shabby for getting rid of junk.
I now have aprons to make and lunch to go to.
