I do love this event that Austin does once a month. The City Wide Garage Sale.
We decided to hop on over there last weekend. It is basically a flea market, but there are some embroidered pillowcases instead of socks and underwear. Speaking of I bought one. It has embroidered flowers on it, another with seagulls. I love them both. Mercury fell in love with a Jamaica scarf.
It can sometimes be disappointing however. I found many items that would like to buy, but no prices. I'm not one of those people that likes to talk a lot to strangers. I can tend to be a little reserved unless I know you. I dislike it when a vendor does not put a price tag on items. If you ask them then they know you are interested and can predict how stupid you are by talking with them. By doing this they jack up the price to double the amount because they think you will pay. Well I am not that person, if there is not a price on it I will not buy it, it is that simple. Just bugs me a little. One of those stupid pet peeves.
