Today is Palm Sunday !!!! Today is the day the donkey carried Jesus to Jerusalem walking over Palm leaves through town......VERY EXCITED !!!! EASTER next Sunday !!!!!
I have been seeing many Flea market vendors popping up nearby venues for the local flea markets !!!! I have always enjoyed walking through the flea markets locally when I can find them......old time tradition is the flea markets !!!
They have PLENTY of items to purchase AFFORDABLE at cost, bargains !!!! Same as a garage sale pretty much the same items and style of buying and selling items, used, some may be new, variety......
I can remember seeing the items the vendors had there for purchase and many may wish to just pick up items to admire BUT we know we should at least INQUIRE the purchase cost for each item before we touch them, and REMEMBER NO THEFT !!!! It may be cheap, but it is the vendor's property until you buy it right there !!!!
Some people may wish to ask for the vendor to " bargain " with the item's cost before purchase......often the vendor may sell the item at lower cost, BUT DO NOT be rude to the vendor and ask for everything marked value way low cost, it may not work and anger the flea market vendor......yikes !!!
Most items are used as we know, and some may be brand new, so just be reasonable as you walk through and purchase ANY flea market item, most there affordable, some may be outrageous priced a tad bit silly in my opinion to have outrageous unfair cost to some item whatever it may be........be cautious and reason throughout your flea market shopping !!!! ;)
Now, there may be animals for purchase at the flea markets and we know these should ALL be shaded from Sun + heat, water and feed there, fans for cooling them also.......I know I purchased two rabbits for pets, as I was a child, and I think they were sickened from the heat at the flea market !!!! Many years ago, but I know of the animal vendors being tacky about the animals humane conditions......some may be hateful, IF so they probably are hiding something about animal abuse !!! Report ANY animal cruelty you suspect at the flea markets !!!! You may wish to purchase animals at the flea markets IF so ???? Inspect the animals for cruelty / abuse, alert authorities locally IF you suspect them to be hurt, abused or suffering !!!! We can clean this up together !!!! :)
IF you wish to purchase ANY animal at the flea market as you shop, purchase the animal just right before you leave the flea market and take the animal directly home with you and your family / friends !!!! This way the animals go home with you to be safe and NEVER leave them unattended in a vehicle for more shopping !!!! Upsetting !!!!
The animals for purchase can be variety at the flea markets, anything from guinea birds, chickens, rabbits, geese, ducks, dogs, cats, VARIETY !!!! Bring with you kennels/ cages and place interior backseat of vehicle, beforehand, so IF you find animals to purchase you already have the cages with you for SAFETY of the animals, pet chow, leashes, collars, water dish, BRING BEFOREHAND for the animals......!!!!!! ATTENTION !!!!!!
Guinea birds are suspect for cackling, so make VERY SURE you can handle the guinea birds chatter as you drive home !!!! LOL !.......Place the guinea birds and chickens interior the design cages for birds and place scratch and water interior the food holders attach with string or wire interior the cages BEFOREHAND...!!!!!
Antique items are precious so be VERY CAREFUL with these !!! Wrap interior newspaper or other softer material, cotton batting may be fine as well.......
Arts + crafts usually there for purchase, select as you see fit for your home decorating and / or other !!!! Take along PLENTY of dollar bills / paper money and make VERY sure you are cautious of the children + other family !!!! Pets leave at home, and the pets you may purchase REMEMBER choose as you walk by, THEN go back to them, purchase then leave with them, DO NOT RETURN to the flea market that day, settle your family / friends and new pets you just purchased from the flea market, stay home, chill a while ......
There may be refreshment there for you and your travelers, for cost so buy together.......inspect for cleanliness !!!
