sunday i made jg take me to the alemany flea market. neither of us had ever been there before so we didn't know what to expect. turned out to be a true flea market, one giant garage sale.
that's the nicer of the two spinning wheels i saw. the seller first wanted $120 for it. as i walked away, he lowered it to $100.
$10 isn't a bad deal for an authentic handmade granny square afghan. i would have bought it if it wasn't made of cotton.
one seller had loads of beads but the hanks were all tangled up. i managed to weed out two strands, only to have the seller tell me he didn't know the price. "my wife is in charge of that stuff. she went to the restroom."
we spent a total of 25 minutes at the flea market. i passed up a lot of interesting stuff. the weather was not ideal for rumaging: cold, breezy, misty fog. but i had fun. i'd like to go back on a better day. who knows when that would be.
