at a Flea Market!
So, what's the difference between a Florida Flea
Market and those back home?
Well the answer is.......practically nothing!
Were it not for the 85 degree temperature
outside the complex near Sarasota we might just
as well have been at Hometown any Wednesday
or at the Circle Drive In most Summer Sundays.
All of them are big draws!
Parking was an immediate challenge. But that's
the same at most markets we've visited.
You pull into a lane...wait for someone to back
out of a space....then race the driver coming in
from the other direction to get that spot!
Once inside the merchandise was pretty
similar to what's available anywhere else.
The aisles are crowded with shoppers
looking for bargains and with merchants trying
to persuade those shoppers that they couldn't
or shouldn't live without the products they
were peddling!
In one booth a lady was offering "half a
face lift"...for free!
She even had little cards of women who
had tried her products. The first thing you
noticed was the eyebrows......one well above
the other.
Speaking of "other" you could get the
second half of your face "lifted" just by
buying her products.......for $200!
If you just got the free treatment I
suppose you walked around looking like
a "before" and "after" example for a couple
of weeks! And......who's to know which was
"before" and which was "after?"
There was a booth where you could
get your teeth whitened too....but I had
just brushed before my visit so I passed
that one by.
We also walked by the young man who
had shoe or flip-flop inserts that would make
you feel like a new person for just $80.
We were OK with the old persons we
already are. And the rate was better!
In the end my wife and sister-in-law
each spend a dollar. One for a mini
scissors, another for a glitter stick on
tattoo.
I saved my buck for another day!
Hope you find whatever you're
shopping for and that all your NEWS is
good!
