flea marketing again...

Flea Marketing is so much fun! As I mentioned before, my Mother and Step Father are hardcore Fleamarketeers. So, it's so great to be able to take advantage of my time at home, and go with them, to help with their setup. I even brought another chunk of my old CD collection to sell. Of course this weekend's theme was Halloween. Take a look at some of the scenes from the day...

It was a gorgeous day!


Excuse me sir?

Oh...sorry!

So funny!


I think I saw him move!


Of course I bought it!


The best of show! My mother's display and hand made jewelry.

She stayed busy like this all day!

It was a great day! And, Flea Market peeps are so great. I had so much fun!

I'm really going to miss Philly when we go back to China.

flea marketing on south street...


My mother is a hardcore fleamarketeer! She's been making her own jewelry, and working the Pennsylvania flea market circuit for many years. My step father faithfully loads the van with all the totes, and folding tables, and delivers everything including Mom to the locations. They both sit on their chairs, and sell their wares over the table with great joy and ease. She has a bunch of return customers that always come to see what's new. Plus, a lot of other regular vendors often visit her for ideas, and her jewelry!

I really love flea markets. Especially one on South Street in Philly. So many little artsy and funky shops there. One of the most famous shops was called Zipperhead...the name says it all!

The vendor peeps are so nice, and so interesting. They each have their own unique and creative displays. Take a look at more of the scene...



Business is good!


That is a real ball & chain! And shackles!!!


Flea marketing on the edge!

What a lucky shot, the sun was reflecting just right.

For 25 cents he'll get up...and then...he'll sit back down.



So cool!

Now I'm scared!


Makes the Monkees tune play in my head!


Loved this!









Hey!...thanks for coming!
