Bird Baths, Urns and other garden ornaments were plentiful
Thank you Wanda for taking and sending these pics, it has motivated me to get started on my garden!

Another beautiful day the Lord had made with temps reaching a balmy 79 degrees! Earlier I was painting the deck floor in anticipation of the relaxing dog days of summer. It was a 3 hour dry time so I decided to do my grocery shopping – no need to watch wet paint dry.
I haven’t taken the time to get out my summer clothes and could only find exercise shorts so I decided to wear this cool and comfy maxi dress which hangs in my closet year round.
Maxi Dress – Ross last season
Sandals – purchased to long ago to remember

Goodwill Hauling with A Friend – Part II
After leaving Smyrna, we drove further south to the Goodwill store in Dover. I stopped first at the cemetary to lay flowers for my sister, uncle and grandmother. I was a bit apprehensive when first approaching Goodwill as I hadn’t set foot in that store since 1992, when I picked up my sister’s last pay check. We didn’t stay long and I only purchased a few items but this store does have a lot of new items from the local mall and grocery stores in the area.

Spence's Bazaar Flea Market
It had been years since I was in Dover on a Friday and even longer that I was at Spence’s Bazaar the local Flea Market. In 1974, I was a teenager when we moved to Dover and Spence’s Bazaar was the place to go on weekends including renting a table to sell your old stuff. Coming from New York, I didn’t know anything about selling at a Flea Market and to this day I remember the woman who bought all of my Barbie’s and accessories for $5! She ripped me off big time, most of my Barbie Dolls were circa 1950’s and she knew better , I only hope her life was miserable after that- seriously!
Fresh Produce is the best buy at Spence's
If you need it, it’s probably in one of these boxes!
At Flea Markets you can find everything – clothing, luggage, bags, hair accessories, albums, dolls, toys, memorabilia….EVERYTHING from soup to nuts!
T-Shirts and men’s clothing
Wanda found a nice hair pin
I love vendors with costume jewelry – I purchased these necklaces for $1.00 and the ring for $3.00.

New with tag, $1.00

Vendor and his “Princess” where I purchased a cute color block purse for $10.00
Love this purse!
I had to hit up the ATM machine which almost stole my money to make 1 final purchase. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the vendor was an old high school friend of mine!
Lolita’s table was filled with Presidential and Sports Memorabilia so I purchased an item of each.
Bought this Eagles neckroll pillow for my son
It was a great day at Spence’s Bazaar in Dover and I will definitely be going again on my next staycation day.
