Golden Nugget and Lambertville Flea Markets

Route 29, along the scenic Delaware River North of Trenton, New Jersey

slightly South of the tourist trap, New Hope, Pennsylvania

Partial view of the Golden Nugget ( Lambertville Flea Market in backbround, beginning with covered pavillion)

The vendor who is usually beside me selling buttons and all kinds of kewl stuff

The kewlest dude at the Lambertville Flea Market with his junk. He took in $44 that day-- his space cost him $84!!

This is why nobody can find Glory, Princess, Erin, Fortune Pastel Peace and many other beanies at their official TY retailers!!

His second table!! Do not look for Pillow pals and the other "rare" ones at your local stores. They sell them out the back door to these guys!! Love that Humphrey, BUT I would NOT spend $85 for him!! I personally thought that Cranberry Teddy was not all that hot at $85!! I doubt that I would spend even the $10 they are supposed to charge for him. The guy still have boxes of more on and in the car!!

Anybody need Christmas Teddy 97, Zero, Canyon, Roam or Santa?? Check out Isabella's (all she needs is the matching hat!!) table for tons of these and the others. Then go across to the table in the background and fill up with yet more at 3 for $10!! It is almost better than Hallmark (who, curiously, NEVER has them!!)

A little further down I found some new friends: (L-R) Tyler (red & white tush tag, slight damage to front of hang tag due to price-sticker removal--HELL, I am interested in the critter, not an absolutely perfect tag!!), Tracey (red & white tush & buttons), Spencer, Purrcy (coveralls), Heather (with buttons), Benjamin (2nd generation, black & white tush), and Gloria!! All for an average of $10/each!! It was the first time she had come to the Golden Nugget. Is married to a Moroccan. May be back with more next week, but not sure.
