  • PictureHeaven Challenge #17, “Strange or Unusual”

    PictureHeaven challenge #17:
     ”Strange and/or Unusual”


    I decided to use some photos I took as promotionals for vendors at a fleamarket we work with.  These photos are on display at this website which I built and maintain for them, Friendship Fleamarket.

    A smattering of the photos:

    All of the things this vendor sells are made by her.  She does some lovely tie dye and the clothing is durable and quite nice.  Her tipi set up is large, livein and fun to see.

    This couple has vintage as well as new neon signs.  Very pretty lit up at night.

    Lots of beautiful African beads are found at Friendship.  Many are antique but many reproductions are foolers of the very old antique beads.  Shop carefully is a good motto and its best to be educated in what you are looking at.

    I love cotton candy and all other junk foods from festivals.  This vender has a lot of goodies.

    Eva does a lot of bead and feather work for home hangings and also wearables.

    This food vendor prepares some of the best bar-b-q I have ever eaten.

    Lots of lovely baskets at this shop but like the doller stores, you never know what you might find as his inventory is everchanging.

    Unusual enough entry??  I hope so.  I do have a shot of a hamburger that looks like a tougue sticking out.  I’ll forgo that one for now.

    Keep on taking those photos,
