Today I met Rick Bowes and Kaaron Warren and her family to check out The Garage fleamarket on 25th street. Kaaron and I barely made it through the top floor. There are two floors and we started with the top one--Rick was out and back again twice before we were done. K's family went to the children's museum and were to meet us later for lunch.
Ok, so what did I pick up?
A vintage Mickey Mouse watch (on time even now, several hours after it was wound at the fleamarket), a large (very heavy) vintage iron that's a strange shape--narrower and longer than those I've usually seen), and a couple of amber colored little bottles. I saw lots of lovely Chinese stuff I'll go back for when I start my serious Xmas shopping.

Kaaron brought me some cannibal forks.
Here's what they can look like --the ones she gave me are different but you can get the idea from this photo and article
cannibal fork

We met the family around 3:30 and ate a quick late lunch/early dinner at the Heartland Brewery on Union Square. We'd hoped to eat at Chat n Chew--I thought it would be fun for kids, but it was way too crowded and I didn't think we'd get served quickly enough for a non-nervewracking meal. They had to catch a train back to NJ.

Trust you? Absolutely.

Um. Trust you to do what, exactly?


(my schedule is muchly tied up in deadlines and delivering legal papers right now, but after T'day sounds doable)

Remember you said you were worried about me using my brand new cannibal fork?

Okeydoke we can start emailing to plan.
