Flea Market Wednesday - The Good, The Bad & The Rather Ugly~ I'm not gonna lie... Flea Market Wednesday wasn't fun.... It seems that every dealer and their sister were snatching up the goods. I can never get to the Wednesday Flea early enough (to find the reallygood stuff) because I have need to drive the kids to school. Those darn kids! (I'm kidding!) There's nothing worse than parking your car and seeing treasure after treasure being loaded up in somebody elses truck! I saw it on Wednesday... (we will get to the "bad behavior" in a minute) It was about 9:00am and I had just arrived at the flea market... I added the brown transferware bowl to my collection.... This was GOOD! Back to the flea market... Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a new seller arrive. It was overwhelming to watch... I turned to another shopper and jokingly said, "What's she giving away???"... I was told "She just arrived and she's got fresh merchandise"... Fresh?? I looked over again....I envisioned a pack of coyotes swarming their prey... Have you ever seen behavior like this??? Rule #2
