Flea Markets

Prompt: It's Saturday and the flea markets are open. What treasures do you discover? Do you actively look for certain items? Or do you buy closed boxes because you like mysteries? What kind of shopper are you?

I once bought a square puzzle box with Victorian children and cats on it and you can make four scenes out of it. It is really cute. I look for tea pots and tea cups, doll clothes and jewelry. I look for dolls, too. I have bought dolls, beanie babies, wolf paintings, white tiger painting, tea pots, wolf statues, Charlie Meadows playing cards {Charlie is an ancestor of mine. He used to travel with Wild Bill Hitchcock "Cody" and he did stunts with horses, cards and I don't know what all}, anyway, I thought this was something to treasure. I have bought a Princess Diana Wedding Doll and Princess Diana Doll wearing a powder blue dress. These are among my treasures. I bought a copy of "Gone With The Wind." I wouldn't buy a closed box because I want to know what I am buying. I can't say what kind of shopper I am. My husband would say: "I buy too much and spend too much!" I love to shop. If I didn't love to shop, I could probably retire.
