One Flea Market Day Remains – See You Sunday!

Day 1 of the Frugalista Flea Market at Cypress Elementary School. Kelly sold lots of clothes, including her former corporate duds.

I sold mostly housewares, purses and scarves, but I took a break to lean against our big-ticket item: Bruce’s telescope (new: $600 not counting eye pieces – now: $200).

The Food Goddess, Andrea Charroin, made no bones about her prices. (I should have bought her deep-fryer while I had the chance.)

That was Day 1.

Sunday is Day 2 of the Frugalista Flea Market, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Cypress Elementary School in Redding on Civic and Cypress Avenue.

Sellers are bringing in more stuff.

Many sellers are slashing prices so they don’t have to haul left-overs home.

And if you want to have a table to sell your stuff, be at Cypress School at 7 a.m. to set up. (BYOT – Bring your own table.)

Come say hi. Admission is free. Buy something to eat (hot dogs, drinks, coffee, brownies, muffins), and find a bargain-priced treasure.
