I so agree that the coolest things can be found at the flea market if you have a good eye and patience.What great finds. Love all you got. Good luck with the sale and I think it's great you are going to reopen your store online! The balcony looks beautiful too. xo Kimkim at northerncalstyle.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12710545630442890027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008662464580606671.post-2768377739861583022015-04-21T23:23:01.233-07:002015-04-21T23:23:01.233-07:00I love the little helmet with the red feathers.

So, something they pay $10 for, they mark at $30. I always assume that 65% to 70% of the "marked" price is a fair price. So, I never pay more than that. If you start at 50% of the price, good negotiating will get you to the 70% pretty quickly. If it doesn't, just walk away.

(I like to travel very lightly.) But what really drew my attention was the Teckel à poil dur. He looks just about irresistible! We have a very good time with Bob, his long-haired sibling Teckel, and Henry, a long, tall Golden Retriever.
