What a deal, yes??!

Who doesn't love to see what they will be selling in some foreign market, shopping in places I have never been to and some, never even heard of. I am always curious about things that are foreign to me, aren't you? Offbeat places, foreign ingredients, different produce or any product sold. So, yes! I would love to see yours! Don't forget to take photos wherever you happen to be shopping - whether it be the grocery, art galleries, wherever money is exchanged for a service or for merchandise. Don't forget to use the hashtag #MarketFriday and
There were so many different products for sale. I did buy a few of these boxes. They were just cardboard, but the thickness was amazing. They will last for at least 100 years. Give or take a few. I use them over and over and I usually buy some that nest inside each other to save space.
I tried hard to buy this guy! You remember him?? He even looked like he was calling out to me! But, they wouldn't have any of that! They wanted to keep their bear for a display. Perhaps I will try again next year! You have to admit, he is kind of cute!
There is a person/tag I would love to promote this week. I have been following him for a while, but, it just occurred to me that he does markets all over the world, wherever he is at the time. I want to thank our globetrotting friend, 
STOP!! BRAIN TEASER AHEAD!!
Question: I can be quick and then I’m deadly. I am a rock, shell, and bone medley. If I was made into a man, I’d make people dream. I gather in my millions by ocean, sea, and stream. What am I?
Answer: Sand. Think about it: Sand can be quick and deadly (quicksand), it is a rock, shell, and bone medley, and if it were a man, it would be the Sandman!!
Ribbon anyone?? You know you do!! The ribbon makes the most delightful bows on gifts! I promise you!
Nutcrackers were in high demand, but, I passed on that one. I have got two that I bought when I lived in Germany. I was actually looking for a life-size one, but most of them were not well made and the ones that were, you would need a small bank loan to purchase.
Boxes and boxes of pricey retro ornaments. At 75% off, they suddenly became a great bargain! Some were shiny brights and others were the kind my mother used to have, birds of all kinds with clips to fasten to the tree's branches. I have some from my parents and I know they still make them, but, I am really nostalgic about my old ornaments.
Memories give me a warm glow, just knowing they were passed on with love. 💓
A flower. There must always be a flower. Always and forever.💓💓
