Greensborough Community Market.
Every Sunday morning, a Community Market is held in an adjoining suburb to us. It hosts a variety of stalls, from pot plants, fresh fruit and vegetables, hand made crafts, to trash and treasure. People can pay to have a site on a regular basis, or just one off, as I did today. My friend Sandra and I both had a lot of 'junk' around our homes that we decided to try and sell. Casual stallholders need to be there VERY early to get a good spot in the queue, so we were waiting in line at 6.20 am, and it was ffrrreeeezzzing....you can see how dark it still was while we were setting up our treasures in front of our cars.
7.30 am and my stuff is out of the car and ready to be looked over by prospective customers. I'm next to a fruit and veg. stall.
Just after 8 am and stallholders are still arriving.
Once the sun came out, the people came out too! In the top left hand corner of this photo, you can see a large building with a sign "SAVERS". This is my favourite op(thrift) shop.
Sandra looking happy at around midday. The sun was out and we were doing a brisk trade!

Hi Gina, What is it about garage sales, thrift shops and the like that entices and facinates us? I love wandering around these sorts of places, looking for treasures.
Loved the pictures of the birds at your feeders. What amazing colours. Such a difference to what we're use to here. Our birds are not quite as exotic.
Remember the time you asked to see pictures of my DH's 1955 Buick on my blog? Well, guess what? I finally put them there for your DH. Not the best of photo's but he should get an idea of what the car is all about. Cheers
Gina,
That looks like so much fun, minus the freezing part. ;)
Of course right now it's been 90 and humid. I like the sunny warm weather but not the wet sticky feeling that goes with it.
Anyway, I digress. Hope you have a great week. -Patty
Hi Gina, looks like a fun day. Hope you managed to sell heaps.
Hope to catch up again soon.
Take care, Meow
Hi Judy, I think anyone who loves eBay naturally loves markets and thrift shops too! I had a quick look at the Buick - Ken says WOW. I'll pop in again later, and comment.
Hi Patty and Meow - you have email!
