About Me

You can find me yakking more at This Eclectic Life. I talk about anything that comes into my head at 4:30 in the morning. You'll find me saying "y'all" a lot, because I'm from Texas, but I don't brag too much about it.

The Pied Piper of The Flea Market

I heard "Dust In The Wind" being played on the pipes at the flea market, and followed the sound.  It was hard to believe that such haunting music could be emanating from a stall next to the Turkey Legs for sale, but there he was: the Pied Piper.  I don't know his name, but I gladly forked over my coffee money to buy a disc of his music.  It says his group is called "Ayahuasca."  He calls the song by its Spanish name: Polvo en el Viento.  By either name it is lovely.  I listen to it every day now.

Handmade Jewelry at the Flea Market

There was much more at that flea market in Houston.  I've told you about it in the previous posts.  The lovely jewelry of Lina Rubia at Blue Angel Arts was on display.  If I win the lottery, I will be her best customer!

The Christmas Bunny?

At Trader's Village Fleamarket in Houston, you could find just darned near anything...even live animals.  This little bunny and his siblings were on a table for sale.  Perhaps he was intended to be a pet, but if he is to be a Christmas gift, he won't be "cute" anymore by then.  I don't have good feeling about his future, and I've been "stewing" about that a little bit.

"Cutting Edge" Neon


They specialize in "flashing scissors" in all shapes and sizes.

It was at the Flea Market in Houston called Trader's Village that I found the place called 81 Neon. Like a Siren's song, those bright neon lights just called my name and I had to see them all.  I wish I had the photographic expertise to show pictures that did justice to the spectacle.  The scissors were wonderful, but The Car was my favorite.  I seriously want it.

If you need a custom made Neon sign, or need to have one repaired, they will do it for you.  In case you need to know:

7979 N. Eldridge Rd, Suite 938, Houston, TX. phone: 713/854-9325

What is it about flashing lights that makes me stand with open-mouthed wonder?  I'm just as silly about Christmas lights.  I could have watched them blinking at me all day long.
