Today I went to my very first flea market at a local warehouse place. I saw so many people and it reminded me of a never ending garage sale with some amazing deals and some rip offs. Lately, I have been in dire need of a dress form and even though I found them at my local fabric store they were way out of my price range!
Well anyways when i went to the flea market i didn't think to even look for a dress form and wowzah! i found them!
Underneath one of the tables. I saw a mannequin's leg popping out, so i just HAD to look further. On the other side of the table i found the top halves of mannequins scattered all across the table some were headless and some were missing ams. I asked the lady running the table and very quickly wished i hadn't; they were $75 for just the top half without the head or the arms!! I thought that was outrageous so I stomped away quickly, never to return....
OK that's a little too dramatic. I did walk away but not in a stomping fashion. More of a sluggish, trudge way because of just how disappointed i was. D:
But in the end I did go home with a huge bag of doilies ($6), a set of two unused, brand new Vera Bradleys (a tote and a messenger bag only $30!)
Ill get back on later to talk about the doilies project!
