I love the Peddler's Mall. It's a conglomeration of booth after booth of used and new items. I generally shoot for the vintage/old stuff. Great finds are really fun. Today I went to try and find myself some teaching shirts. Yeah, I know. A post for another day perhaps. Anyhow, I ended up spying this booth that had this and thats taped up in plasitc ziplock baggies and priced very low. I first picked up a pack of men's white tshirts, but I couldn't count how many were in the package in order to see if it was a good deal or not. Then I picked one up that had a draw string pouch in it. I felt the baggy because it was taped completely shut and it seemed that there were blocks in it. $1.49 was the price so I took the plunge. After I was in the car, I opened the baggy up and found some wonderful little blocks that would be a great learning tool (ie: distraction) for Inky while schooling her older sister!
So, if you don't mind used old toys, the Peddler's Mall is the place for you.
Well here's a photo. I love toys with natural elements like wood.
Love these prices.
The girls enjoying their new/old blocks
I just looked up the company Guide Craft (written on the draw string bag) and found the same item for $30.00. My set is only missing 3 out of the 20 blocks/tiles so along with the fact that the girls really like them, I think it really was a good deal. : )
Thanks for sifting through the latest thrift!
