Day and Night
These photos are at the Farmers Market in downtown Charleston:
Canned Fruits and vegetables. They make the best salsa and jams.
This place makes all kinds of breads. I could gain some weight here.
These are local tomatoes. Some are heirloom varieties.
I thought these squash were really unique.
Just down from us is this booth called my My Big Fat Greek Restaurant. If you like Greek food this is the place to go.
Carolina peaches are said to be better than Georgia Peaches. I think they are.
More fresh SC produce.
Now onto the Flea Market:
There is something for almost everything at the flea market. You just have to find it.
If there isn't enough room on the ground, just hang the items up.
The worst thing about the Flea Market is the location. It tends to be a little dusty when the wind blows. Well that may not be the worst thing. :)
I was lucky this week to get next to someone who was nice. They were selling these ceramics that the girl had made. (note to self; don't assume that a 25 year old woman and a 50 year old man are father and daughter.) Oops.
Now right on the other side of this couple was this pile of rubble that someone was going to sell. Imagine our surprise when the owner of this valuable stuff came climbing out of the pile around 6:30. I am guessing he lives here. Home sweet home. After a quick trip to the bathroom to wash up, he was ready for the day. Talk about convenience.
Ok I am feeling that it is a toss up at this point, so let me leave you with a comparison between two vendors.
This is one of the vendors from the Farmers market:

No comment.
Have a great day,

The convenience of living in the rubble that is your livlihood- hmm. I'm reading a book right now called Breakfast at Sally's by Richard LeMieux. It is about living as a homeless person- an autobiography- true story. So, my perspective on this right now is a little different than it was, say, last week.
Loved the peaches. Mmmm.

I keep thinking how you mentioned your dad saved everything and here you sell everything:)
Greg, how is one to choose between the Farmer's Market and the Flea Market? Decisions, decisions...
It's all in the name, right?
You know I can comment because I have been to the Ladson Market many, many times and I promise next time i'm down S'ville way I WILL COME TO THE MARKET! That will be in a few weeks though. Trying to get the house whipped into shape.
I liked the old Ladson Market, before it burned. It had some unique people but not um, trashy as they now seem to be.
And the dude in the last pic is hilarious!
Another hilarious look at life! You must be an enjoyable person to be around. You like to make people smile.
We have Traders Village near here but there is only one entrance so it takes hours to get in.
I liked the peanut pumpkins. We have those in VA. The Farmers Market was gorgeous, but if you didn't attend the Flea Market we wouldn't get all these funny stories out of you, would we?
I hope you did well this weekend. Looks like quite an interesting time. Certainly gives you great stuff to write about! : )
Everything at the first place looked so incredible. I could spend a fortune there.
I think I could almost smell those baked goods at the Farmers Market.
Love the comparison at the end.
Love the pics. They make me envious, but keep posting them.
seriously though, that guy just got out from under that tarp?!! yikes!
