The alarm goes off, It’s 5 in the morning and I need to get ready.
Sunday Mornings are meant for sleeping in.
Not today, we have to give the flea market another shot. Last Saturday sucked, but it could have been multiple reasons for that.
Slowly crawl out of bed, and what we need is Coffee. Plenty of it.
Then it’s time to load up the truck, and we’re off.
Wait in line, get inside, set up.
It’s cloudy but the weather says it’s not going to rain.
Plenty of foot traffic, already seeing some people I know. Making sales, I’m starting to think the flea market isn’t that bad. It’s actually going great today.
Que the Eurythmics.
“Here’s comes the rain again.”
It didn’t rain that hard, but when you have Kardboard all over your tables with nothing to cover everything, you got to move quick. Started throwing everything back in the truck. Found a giant blanket and just threw it on everything. We got to save everything.
Now we’re here standing under the hood of the trunk just people watching. The rain lasted about an hour and some of the other vendors were already leaving. I thought about it, but the weather did say no rain. So, I took my chances and set everything back up again.
It didn’t rain again which was good, and the traffic started rolling again.
90% sold was Pokemon, which is understandable. And, I got rid of somethings that I thought would never sell.
Win/Win for me.
Now it’s time to figure out where we’ll be next weekend. If we can’t find anything we’ll be back at the Swap-O-Rama in Alsip.
New show added, we’re just adding them left and right, and we’re about to get really busy. And, that’s a good thing.
Let’s make another mark on our calendars!
What are you all doing on September 15th?
