Saturday Adventure...

Okay with SENIOR, STEPHEN, and the boys have a day to do some cleaning up, the boys and I kidnapped Stephens Sweet Wife. We made a long drive to central Florida, and spent the day at a very large flea market.

The day here was gorgeous..deep blue sky, weather in the 70s, a perfect fall day.

After browsing the aisles for a deal, we decided to hit the outlying folks. You know the kind that set up in a camper, and has all their treasure in the grass.
We found one such bra-less, toothless wonder in the back of the parking lot. Everything was a dollar. If it did have a price tag on it, you could haggle with her and she would knock some off the price.
I found a Christmas tree liquid soap holder.

Here is her humble abode:

And it was in just such a place that we came across these Jewels for good ole Stephen:

Yep that is right, SW and I hit the mother load of old Coleman Stoves. He was an old biker dude, long hair, and of course "toothless" I think it is a pre-requisite. But, he was a hoot. A very likable old guy. He had a bunch of things, including some Coleman lanterns. I got one stove and lantern for Senior, and SW bought the other three for Stephen to refurbish.
Now, it is rare to find even one stove...but to come across 4 is unheard of. Well, that was not the end of it. The next two sellers we went to, each had stoves. SW bought one more, and I bought another lantern. That makes 4 stoves for Stephen to work on...He is going to be a busy man! 

Then the kids saw the "Kettle Korn" stand, and of course we had to buy some bags. Can't go to the Flea market without getting some fresh warm kettle korn.

Then it was time to load up our treasures....Need a Coleman Stove anyone? 

We then hit a BBQ restaurant for lunch...I didn't realize how hungry we all were. Because we scarfed that food down in a hurry.
Back home, Senior checked out my purchases...He said "Well Done"  The stove we got while old, is in great condition, so are both lanterns. One will need the mantles though.
Oh, I did learn one valuable lesson today..."Never take a 6 and 7 year old into an antique store".

On another comical note, we found a lady with Halloween costumes. I found an awesome robe. I asked how much..the lady told me she only rents out her costumes.. "what" ? I thought. Who rents costumes at the flea market...OMG.
Then my little ND found this lovely costume:

 

 

So, we are all back home from our day, We had a lovely time with SW...I hope the boys didn't wear her out too much. I told her should would probably settle back tonight with a stiff drink after being with them all day...  : )
