Swap Meet

At home we refer to Arizona Swap Meets as Flea Markets.   The Mr. and I decided we needed to see what was going on at the Swap Meet  in Lake Havasu, AZ.  We arrived early, and it still was hard to find a parking spot.  We thoroughly enjoyed looking at all the stuff one could purchase.
You could  find a cure for just about anything.

Or maybe you need a spinner made from soda cans for that empty fence post in the back yard.






If you don't like to drink alone, how about a trio of monkeys to keep you company?








How about a purse for every outfit?  







Wouldn't you look 'hot' riding one of these cruiser bikes, with its gas motor.  Is it a bike or a motor cycle?



I thought this booth was interesting; selling turf in Arizona.  I'm wondering how grass would grow out here.  I'm thinking it would cost a fortune to water and maintain.  


 Only $1.00 for a knock-off Pandora charm.  Where was this booth when I started my charm bracelet?










The Mr. just had to have four of these things.  Something about keeping his table saw from rolling around.  







It appeared that Boso the Clown had a bad night last night.  His stubble was showing through the white face paint.  He had on a smeary red shirt.  I don't think I would have let my kids to close to this guy.  


We walked past candles made from cactus, and bowls made from wood.  

The metal work was so nicely done at this booth.  I wished I would have had a place to put one of the pieces. 

The Blue Bear had some very nice jewelry.  I like to get a 'piece of bling' every year I come out.  This year the Mr. bought me this slide for my chain.  

Life is good!!!

And that's the way it is...............

  5. That certainly looks like a Flea Market to me. We go to swap meets as well but they are are almost entirely car related stuff or motorcycle related stuff.
