, All 32 teeth may or may NOT be present in their craniums at ALL times...
BUT the price is RIGHT bay~buh!!!!
Yes Junkers, I am referring to the San Bernardino swap meet! I LURVE this place! Seriously, I have never paid more than $10 dollars for ANYTHING I have EVER bought here. I wanted to share some pics with you guys of my trip today with the hubbs...
What I really like about this place is that, it is so REAL. Now, don't get me wrong! I luv me some Barn House boys...or Retreat shows BUT that's for retail shoppers =) They are beautiful and romantic looking and soooo shabby, they're just...DIVINE! but. I'm a buyer, and basically San Bernardino is the TOTAL ass end opposite of that! lol. We're talkin' tarps set out on the ground, banquet tables if your fancy, and HELL, sometimes they just have row after row of boxes YOU can dig through!
There was a lil' bit of everything today...From Antique to Shabby to Primitive/industrial to just plain ole' KITSCH! Take a look...
Antique heaters
Cool Hollywood Regency, glass ash trays = $12 bucks!
$10 brass 3 tier tray
Bunch of old lamps
Pistolas..
LOTS of vintage jewlery if that's your THANG
Ole' glass jugs? I'll take that...$2
Nice saddle
Five skeletons for $8 bucks?....Yes please! (Day of the dead, people!)
THIS was gorge! And in REALLY good shape! An old' train trunk, she wanted $150!
Lots of old toy trucks
Spinning Wheel $15
Again, the vendors are...Jolly
There's EVEN a Rasta Santa, to serenade you as you shop! =D
OR a pony ride while you rest your dogs...
