Feather & Fur Flea 4.8.2017

We had a big junking weekend.  A nearby strip of highway had their sales and the bi-annual Feather & Furry Flea Market was Friday - Sunday. 

 We have had two straight weeks of rain and gloom,
so people were ready to get outside.
By the time we left, the parking lot was packed.
(I don't know why Tim doesn't look happier,
I bought a ton of stuff from him.)

 My husband negotiating with his favorite seller. 
Strip of grain bin scoops, were purchased for $15,
sold for $90.

 The super rusty sign said,
"Pony Express Reptile Gardens".
I didn't know we ever had such a thing in our area.



This is Gabriel with his dad.

Gabriel raised these peacocks,
and other kinds of birds.

 I bought the Sunbonnet Sue quilt this lady was holding...
(bought for $15, sold on ebay for $50.)
and the blue one underneath it.

It is such a blast to see the variety of animals
and birds for sale. Buying junk is icing on the cake.

 These cuties were saving their energy for the
pony rides.

 I don't know if you can tell,
but I caught this handsome fellow mid-crow.

 Probably because of Easter being in a few days,
bunnies outnumbered all other creatures.

 Here is one of my favorite auctioneers,
out looking for a bargain.
I did alot of purchasing, but I tried to be very calculating with every dollar I spent.
You'll have to check back later to see some of my loot.

    1. Sorry, I didn't ask the price of the peacocks. Isn't it good to finally get out and do some hard-core junking?

      YES. Have been loving it!

    1. I am about the most un-techie person on the planet. I think if you became a "follower" it would be easy to see if I have any new posts. I do alot better posting in spring/summer when junk is abundant. Thanks for your interest. Happy Easter
