i, um…

I’ve been itching for the flea market lately, which really only happens in grand style when the warm weather returns in these parts.  Sure, we have thrift stores and church basements, but I could probably give a run-down of their shelf contents right now if I had to.  Example, I was just on the phone with my friend Erin and the conversation went something like this… “OK, so ya go through the front door, turn right into the room with the big glass cases, and ya know that stall way in the back on the left?”  “Yup.”  “The one with the blue tulip pitchers that match my casserole dish?”  “Yup.”  “Well there’s this vintage flip lid painted metal trash can with geraniums on it, have you seen that?”  “Probably.”  It’s very very sad.  We need mud and guts and giant trunks full of vintage sheets.  But, for now, Etsy will itch our scratches.
