Josh is home and today was our last Saturday before another sports season begins (6 Saturdays of flag football games) so we took a family field trip to the Isa Town market. On the weekends they have a flea market where people sell everything from pirated movies (3 for $2.50) to old shoes to parrots.
Supposedly it’s the place to be at 7am, but the only place to be for me at that time is in my bed, so we headed over there at a more tolerable 10am. We may have missed all the best stuff, but there’s nothing I need that badly.
Ready to shop!
Did I mention they have an entire section dedicated to birds? Happy Thanksgiving, gobble gobble!
These turkeys don’t look so hot . . .
A guy buying chickens — holding them by the feet as he picks them out.
The kids were drawn to the guy with the parrots and lovebirds — they were trained to perch on their fingers and shoulders and he let them hold them.
Anyone up for some clothes shopping? Various vendors had piles of clothes laid on the ground waiting to be dug through. This is not the way I like to shop. I pulled a few pieces out of the piles when a flash of interesting fabric caught my eye, but wasn’t searching seriously until I happened upon a beaded 2 piece gown. It was tied together in a knot so the pieces would stay together. I was intrigued by the shape and the color (and the beads!). I held it up and it looked like it might fit . . . when the guy quoted a price of $4, I had to take it home.
Guess what I’m wearing to the ball tomorrow night?! It fits like it was made for me. I rushed it over to the dry cleaners and they should have it back tomorrow afternoon. No alterations needed. It’s amazing. Fingers crossed it works out to wear it for the Marine Corps ball . . .
