Since we weren't stuck here Sunday, and it didn't rain, we went to the pre-Brimfield flea markets and a couple of shops in nearby Palmer. We passed an interesting place on the way to the Palmer co-op, and this time I had my camera!

We shopped and shopped (some goodies pix to come) and saw this at the last place we stopped. We thought of getting it for Ron, 'cause he always wants us to find him somethin' pretty, and he (usually) has quite a large lawn display at Christmastime. We passed though, Ron. Maybe we'll run into it tomorrow at Brimfield when we all go!

We even bought a Hoover!!!

Rich tried it later that day in the pool area, and it does a nice job! No cords in the way like w/ the blower, and no mess to clean up either!

Here's a group of 'stuff' I didn't want to shoot individually. Most of this was part of a $10 lot we bought from a bottom-feeder! We got a great push button switch w/brass wall plate, some other brass wall plates, 2 lighted "indicator" switches, a mis-matched vac pot w/ 3 different filters, one of which Rich hadn't seen before, some glass trays for, I believe, Toastmaster and Toastwell hospitality sets, a few popcorn and satin-finish Christmas lights, some old plastic switch covers, a Hamilton Beach companion booklet, and more! Rich liked the little pixie shelf-sitter at a side-of-the-road dealer with some other stuff, and couldn't resist the Salem North Star gravy boat!

I had taken a picture of a pair of super oval frames we got, but don't know where it went to! They have metal backs and curved-glass fronts! Steals at $12 each!

Bobby and I picked up some stuff yesterday at Brimfield (pix to come?) and Ron, Rich, and I are supposed to go back for "Cone-Licker Day," a.k.a., "BLT Day." Typically, families w/ or w/o kids (cone-lickers) show up for a day of lollygagging through the fields, marvelling at what Grandma had (the only one who cared what your grandmother had was your grandfather!), B rowsing, L ooking, and T ouching (BLT)... but not buying.

We tend to call it by the same name dealer friends of ours from the UK call it... Mopping-Up Day. Sometimes you can get some better buys that day because the dealers don't want to take X, Y, or Z home, and we mop up!
