the flea

this morning i went to the tulsa flea market with lisa and jacob howe. i was in the mood for treasure-hunting again!

we found lots of fun stuff!

like this adorable owl high chair.... {didn't buy it}

and these cups to add to daryl's collection! {bought 'em}

and i don't know why, but i bought this little gilligan that was just laying in a box of junk. there's something about it that just made me smile! {and i used to watch gilligan's island all the time!} he looks so cute in my printer's tray with all my stamps!

there were buttons EVERYWHERE! this one booth had jars of buttons, buttons on cards and trays of buttons sorted by color! i was drooling......especially when i saw a whole tray of bakelite buttons! {didn't buy them...yay me!}

this booth not only had buttons out the wazoo, but it also had all kinds of vintage sewing stuff! it made me want to be a seamstress or a quilter! it even had sock monkeys!!! {didn't buy them}

unfortunately, though, not all of our encounters at the flea were happy ones. there was one booth that was selling these really cool stretchy shirts. i didn't know what kind of fabric they are made from, so i walked up to the booth and unfolded one just to look at it. the lady running the booth walked up {didn't say hi or how are you today} and said, "that one is for size small to large. the 1x and up are on another table."

GASP!!!!! i couldn't believe it! i realize that i am a large woman, but i don't need some rude sales lady telling me! i just dropped the shirt i was holding and loudly said, "well! i guess she's telling me this isn't my size!" and walked away. the nerve of some people................

i realize the picture of her is blurry, but i don't want to show her face. jacob walked back by the booth and took a picture of her for me!
