Tag Sale - You're It!

Wow. I have been to the Holy Grail of tag sales & back again. Anyone who gets a hint of happy from scoring a fun, fabulous find at the flea market must make plans to pilgrimage to Sparks, Kansas every May & September for their amazing swap meet. It is not to be missed. Plan your life around it.

I tagged along [har] with my friends Mandy, Sarah & her mama Cathy for the first time this weekend [they've road tripped down K7 many times for this mega-event and I was happy to have them as my trash/treasure tour guides]. And I bought this stack of stuff for under $20!


In addition to the 100s of vendors & their dusty bounty we spied a walking hot dog, clown and Mexican bandit in full costume. There were no explanations. And that's okay.

I was so happy, I forgot about my allergies, my toothache, and my jeep. It was bliss.

  1. Neato bandito... I love red plaid ... my tin lunchbox would match if I still had it, it was so stylish back in 1962.
