These were some of the Finds at the Flea Market Today, after shopping a while, a Woman from across the table from me said Bill? Yes I said, and She said I'm Lori RichmondLori! Wow! Great You Made it to the Flea Market! :^D We greeted each other, Masks On! Then Lori informed me that She was moving soon to Oregon, so She wanted to Meet while She had a chance before She moved! My younger Son Eddy came to the Flea Market with me, and Lori introduced Herself to Him. I said that we have to get a picture, together, but take a look around, and we'll take one later! For our picture, I was able to get Don, a Flea Market Friend to take it with my Camera(Mask down, then back up!) and then it was already getting too hot, at only 8:15am, so I asked Lori if She was going to stop by on Sunday Morning too, because it's normally better, and She said that She was going to try! :^D It was so nice to meet RichmondLori, but too bad, because of Social Distancing , we really didn't have enough time to Talk! Thank You So Much Lori! :^D
Some of the other Treasures, that I found, A Murano Glass Duck, A Metlox Pottery California Provincial Steeple Clock Planter, a Porcelain Luster Pitcher, Hammered Copper Bookends, and more! :^D
Thank you for looking, all comments, and closer looks always welcome! Stay Safe, Wear a Mask, and Wash your Hands Often! :^)
Hey Cokeman, and Vynil, thanks for taking a look, and for the love that you gave! :^)
Hi Robert, nice of you to drop by, with a love for this! It's appreciated! :^)
Thank you my #1 Mary, I got to meet Bill(olecody) in person a few years ago, and a few others by phone and Email, like Brian(fortapache),Rick(Rick55), and Tim(AnythingObscure), and now got to meet a little with Lori(RichmondLori), at the Flea Market! It's just Fun to be able to meet with our CW Family! :^D Sometime I hope to meet Eileen(MsCrystalship), and of course my #1 Mary(Valentino97)! :^D
Wouldn't it be fun if CW had a Meet and Greet, after this COVID19 is in the past, a Collectors Weekly Convention! For sure it would be right here in the S.F. Bay Area, so I don't have to travel too far! :^D
That little Carved Jade Perfume Bottle, has a dobber stopper, but you're right it looks like a Snuff Bottle, and the Carved Netsuke, a Man with a Fish, riding a Tortoise, is probably not real, but cute anyway! I cheated with the Hammered Copper Bookends, because I got them last weekend, but cleaned them and they came out so nice that I had to show! :^D
Thank you Thomas, it sure was Awesome, and again if You could meet Lori in Oregon, Totally! :^D

Hi Patricia, what do You Think? Convention! Thank you for the love! :^)
I never run into any CWers. Actually I do I just don't know it. Look for 6 fooy tall guy pushing a vintage wire cart and wearing a Bauhaus T-Shirt.
Bill, I want to thank you for the info and the invite to the Flea Market, I am glad you shared this spot with me. Lori
Yea thanks Brian I'll keep an eye out for you but it sounds like half the guys at the Flea Market, the other half have beards and Hawaiian Shirts! :^D
You're very welcome Lori, I'm so glad we met, and look forward to the next . . . tomorrow! :^)
G R E A T!!!!!!!
Little chance of me meeting anyone in person, don't travel much these days due to health and esp. pandemic. Living in the Northern boonies of Canada is another drawback, what we call remote or never never land.
It's awesome to read and see members and their adventures. I envy you for the opportunities and all the flea market stuff. I would go crazy with delight.
Thanks Bill, for another fun post, Lisa
That hat should be able to keep most men away ...
Golgatha...aahhwww.... my hat is to keep me from burning in the sun, didn't know it worked against me that way....
Lori, thank goodness you have a sense of humor, I laughed when I read the hat bit, as if older women need to advertise.... in anyway. I laughed again with your fine reply. Love the hat, started to wear some hats myself this year, it matches my protective mask.....lol.
Thanks Pascale, for your Great comment! :^D
Thank you Lisa, and you're welcome! What we need to do is have a CW Convention in the Northern Canada Chapter, and we could send a caravan of CWers up to it! :^D
Golgatha??????
Lori, good comeback! Good of you to come back to the Flea Market again this beautiful Sunday morning too! I hope that you had another nice time there, I enjoyed seeing you again, and nice that you were able to meet some of my other Flea Market Friends! :^D
Hey Robert, good comment! Thanks! :^D
Thanks again Lisa! :^D

My #1 Mary XOXO :^D
My neighbor Lori, thank You my dear! :^D
Happy to see you two wearing masks! Stay safe. It ain't over yet by a longshot.
Hey Eileen, thanks for your comment, I have a lot of Metlox Pottery, and quite a few pieces of California Provincial, mainly because of the Rooster, and because my brother-in-law has always had Chickens, I supply him with all Chicken Collectables, he can have! :^D
Thank you Rich, wouldn't be at the Flea Market without a Mask, Distancing is a little hard, but you have to take care of yourself, so stand back and wait if you have to. Most people there are careful, but some are just rude! I can LIVE with waiting! :^D
Thanks for the love that you gave, Eileen, and Rich too! :^)
Hey Bill, your post is # 2 for the week. Lori
I never knew there was an order! :^D Thanks Lori, hope to see you tomorrow, at the Flea Market, where else? :^)
Thank you both Leah, and AdeleC, for the love that you gave, it's appreciated! :^)
Hi EZa, good to have you stop by! :^D Thanks for the love that you gave! Stay Safe and wear a Mask! :^)
Hey Kevin thanks for the love that you gave! :^)
I hope that your Day is going Good SEAN, thank you for the love that you gave! :^)
