This Weekend's Hauls
I had a great weekend. Some friends who I haven't seen in a long time stopped by to hang out and wish me well, which was an awesome surprise, and one stayed for the weekend to get me outside and wheel me around. It was kind of a downer spending my birthday in the hospital but this weekend surely made up for that. We had some good weather and some great adventures.
This is what I acquired on three trips to three different flea markets, and each expedition was different. I already made a thread about my first outing, where I picked up my first Haserot jar (a quart) and a very interesting Crown pint at reasonable prices. On the second outing I decided to bring some milk bottles that I had doubles of to see if anyone would want them. I happened to run into this vendor that I rarely see who sells lots of bottles and glass. I ended up getting a really good price on a pair of jars and a bottle (that my friend wanted) in exchange for the milks that I brought. I got a Gem quart, and a beautiful Darling quart - this jar is a beautiful true blue, it's got some nice whittle, and I've eyed this jar for a long time so I'm glad to have finally taken it home. At the third market, we were surprised to see that a lot had changed with the place. There were very few customers, and a lot of vendors were packing up their stuff into trucks and taking it away. Maybe the place is closing down or there was a change in management, but who knows. Anyway, I noticed some jars up on some shelves in the back and so I wheeled over there while my buddy looked around. I turned through the jars one by one and was veeery happy about the prices. I quickly set a few aside that I might want, and eventually picked the two that I could afford, an incredibly whittled half gallon Gem and a very early light apple green Perfect Seal (camera white balance was set to auto, looks much greener than this). When I went to pay, the lady at the counter informed me that the jars were fifty percent off! She told me that the vendor lives very far away but wants to sell his stuff in a hurry - maybe the place is closing down. I was very pleased to spend only one dollar more than I originally would have for two more additional jars, an EGCo Imperial quart and a nice little Crown pint.
So, it was a pretty good weekend for finding some belated birthday gifts for myself, haha, but actually better for having a great time with old friends and getting out of the house!
