Praises and praises.

So, I held another flea market this past Saturday. Since last time we sold a lot of cookie bars, we decided to bake mostly those.

That morning, I went into the sheds to find more kid books to sell and loaded them into the van. We got there a tad late, and found every table at the front taken, so we had to go to the rear of the property.

Despite being "out of the loop" of the other tables (which we didn't really turn out that way because there was a parking lot up a hill directly in front of us), God provided well. The most so far, actually: about $83.

I even got to sell 2-3 of my duct tape wallets. :)


Another praise: One lady who stopped by our table informed me that she was selling rolls of duct tape for $2 each at her table. After we packed up the table, we stopped by her table to see what duct tape rolls she had.

I had been wanting a blue roll to make some blue wallets. So she led me to her van that had a box of them beyond the few that she had placed on the table. I was able to find a blue roll as well as a yellow roll(The most used color when making Ethiopian flag colored wallets). She then told me she had another roll, but it was nearly out(little less than half) and she gave it to me for free. It was a zebra pattern. So maybe trendy teens will want to buy a zebra-patterned wallet. :P

But, the lady, knowing what I was selling the wallets for, sold the two rolls to me for a dollar a piece. :D (Regular price with a 40% off coupon is $2.90)
