Karlie's not here now......

I bet you do miss Karlie! I'm sure she'll be back though, soon!

I know you are so anxious for the new baby to be here. It is so much fun to have new babies around!!!

The flea market sounds like so much fun. Like Paula, I want to know what you sell! I know you go to lots of garage sales, maybe that is what you do, buy at a garage sale and sell at the flea market. Sounds like a lot of fun!

The flea market is just a little store on our town square. I went in and really wasn't too impressed with what they had for sale but I know that once it gets established everything will get better. They have it divided into little stalls.....none of them very big. They were all rented at the time I was in there but one was getting ready to close out.....but he had someone already signed up for it. The owner talked like he'd call soon. I did let him know that I had done this before at a nearby town with my daughter.

I have a lot of things that I can put in it. I've got stuff in the basement that needs to be cleaned out and have actually thought of some things that need cleaned out from....well, just everywhere!! I do like to buy at garage sales and the last time that was where I got everything from. I tried not to spend very much on anything and we made pretty good money. I do know that you don't get top dollar on things......these small town flea markets are where people with big fancy antique mall booths like to shop and then THEY mark them up and get top dollar!!!! I've been looking for some good ideas on how to decorate my booth to draw attention to it!! That's part of the fun!!!

What do I sell? I actually like to put antiques in but you don't find too many of those at garage sales. Any kind of knick-knacky stuff. I have a lot of Christian books that I need to get cleaned out. I like to collect old children's toys and sometimes I get really good buys on e-bay so I might add some of those kind of things in there too.

In our last flea market we even sold name brand teen clothes. I would pick up nice clean things and they sold really well because these little towns don't have good stores for the kids to shop at. But I don't know if I'll do that again the booths are REALLY small. We'll just have to see!!!

That sounds like fun Diana! You are so right about small towns needing certain types of things, like teen clothes, cool make up, etc. I hope you get a booth!

I can't believer the baby is due Thursday! You are in for a lot of loving!!! Karlie will need you a lot now, so maybe you should take it easy for a couple of days without her! She will look to you for reassurance, no matter how exciting a baby brother is.

I can't believe it's baby time already....how exciting!!! I just know you are excited and ready to welcome this little treasure. I can't wait to hear all about this baby so don't leave out any details.

The flea market gig sounds like so much fun Diana. That's why I like going to garage sales and auctions...I like to chat...lol. I have often thought of getting a small booth at the HotDog Festival and we have a flea market at the park once during the summer. Maybe I'll have to look into it also. Sounds like gobs of fun.
