Flea Market Treasures!
I had such a great day today spent with my friend, Brenda, at the Flea Market. There were so many items sold for a deal price that you couldn't find anywhere else. Today, I was specifically in search for Native American jewelry, but I struck out. (It's usually unattainable when you have a goal already set out, the best way to go is in search for nothing in specific. That's how it works out for me anyway. ) Instead, I came across this woman who made bracelets. I was really excited because I have always wanted a custom bracelet where I could pick the colors and the way it was going to look. It took awhile for the woman to make the bracelets that my friend and I had asked for, but I don't blame her. The craftiness of it was magnificent. I don't understand how she managed to make lettering, but she did. As she went row by row with the yarn, I watched her carefully intertwining and going under and over and around with several pieces of yarn. If it were me I would have had a million knots! It was really neat and a treat watching her make the bracelets and even better to be able to wear them.

Wow, that sounds pretty interesting. Yeah, I love going to the flea market with my family because we find so many treasures that my grandmother remembers from her childhood. It's so funny how when you are looking for a specific item, it never shows up. However, when you are window shopping just for the heck of it you sometimes come across amazing paraphernalia. It happens to me all the time.
