Trade Day




This past weekend, I checked Collinsville Trade Day off my mental list of things to do in Alabama before heading up to Alaska. Craig guilted Mom into coming along too, and I think in the end she was glad she did. She’s seen below in a kissing photo. Kissing photos usually indicate happiness, right? I think so.



I love Trade Day. It is also known as the Flea Market you know. Seeing all those fresh fruits and vegetables made me want to cook something. Since I had no idea what it would be, I bought Sassafras a single apple to munch on instead.



I always keep a very random list of things I need to look for at thrift stores, yard sales, and the like, on hand for reference. I got down to business early on and made everyone listen as I read from my list. I took the Craig’s camera but was unable to shoot photos, shop, and keep up with Sassafras all at once, so the photos are scarce. But the shopping was oh so satisfying.



Coasters cut from a branch for my Mother-in-Law to supplement her Mother’s Day gift: $2.00

5 Barrettes to keep Sassafras’ bangs back while they are growing out: $4.00

Avon Bug Guard plus SPF for Sassafras the mosquito magnet: $5.50

Avon Hand Sanitizer to ward off any disease contracted from trade day bathroom use with no sinks: $2.00

A single apple for Sassafras: 25 cents
New bug collecting box because ours is full: $4.00

2 metal name tags for My Friend: $1.50
Purple leash: $6.00
4 badges, Sassafras and I are Adventure Scouts...something I am sure I will blog about one day: $7.00


We were the last to leave.

    It was a great day. I am very thankful for this blog/documentary of it. As the separation of my family is upon us this was a very special day.

    I wish I coulda been on this trip. Yep, Ma does look happy there in spite of "needing to do a million things". I need to get me two or nine or sixteen things from trade day asap. Good photos, sister.
