The first Sunday of every month is the local flea market. Generally, I avoid the flea market. You have to haggle at flea markets and I hate to haggle. Almost as much as I hate cleaning the bathrooms.
My youngest daughter loves to haggle with people. She's pretty good at it, too. Either she's good at it or people think it's hilarious that a nine year old tries to haggle with them so she gets a good price. Whether she's a decent negotiator or merely amusing, it's a plus to have her in my corner at the flea market.
Normally my husband takes her to the flea market and they have a terrific time, but he was traveling this weekend, so I said I'd take her. I wanted to see what the big woo was. And I wanted to see my daughter in action. And I wanted to see if some fool was selling something I needed. Like a manual typewriter or a Madonna 'Crazy For You' 45.
*Side note: Found both a manual typewriter and a 'Crazy For You' 45. Both were priced at three bucks. Didn't buy either one. My crack negotiator said she could get them for a better price at the antiques store downtown. I believe her. She knows her stuff.
About halfway through the booths, I stopped to tie my shoe and looked up to find something wonderful. Amazing, really. Something I felt I needed to own. A pair of mounted animal horns.
