There were about 25 "booths" along with folks selling BBQ, Krispy Kreme doughnuts, etc. Some students even provided musical entertainment. <br /><br />I bought way too much, but had so much fun. My best buys were a new pet carrier for my Himalayan cat, Gwennie, for seven bucks, and one of those raised feeding stations for my dog, Sandy, for five. (The folks running that booth must have owned a pet store in the past. They had everything for all kinds of pets.)<br /><br />Also found a brand new set of queen-size sheets for five bucks, a very pretty bowl shaped like a strawberry from Pier 1 for a quarter, and other stuff. It's hard to beat the feeling you get when you find bargains like that!vbamotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13956189735124052926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373492091382931118.post-56896267636835115072010-04-03T23:01:55.300-07:002010-04-03T23:01:55.300-07:00I will name that pattern, "mistletoe"!
