At the flea market this weekend, it was more about the sights than the treasures.

There were nopalitos (cactus) for sale,

  1. Good choice! If you'd purchased the goat, I'm sure he would have eaten the bougainvillea on the way home! Kat

  3. Wow, the only thing we would have at our markets that you have at yours are the red bell peppers. All the rest falls in the category of exotic. Good choice with the flowers - buy the flowers, leave the goat!

  4. Um....NO. I cannot find those things at my flea market. Look, are trying to top my red head in a faux leopard skin coat pic? Well, I believe you have accomplished that with the lizard and the goat. I love a good flea/brocante!

  6. There's a flea market not far from from the house where I've seen some of those things, but not all (insert lizards here)...this is Dallas ya know! Now as for the goat...got one of those at home. 'Course the one I got is old...maybe it's time to trade up.
    I've never seen a double paper flower...gorgeous!

  9. Nothing like your flea market around my area. I really love Mexican food though and would have spent a fortune buying up all those wonderful ingredients. Your plant is lovely and well the goat, I'm not to sure about.

  12. But, wouldn't the goat eat the lawn for you so you wouldn't have to mow? And, eat the bougainvillea!

  17. Looking at your pictures made me homesick for our home in Mexico! Sure glad you passed on the goat. Scout Lane would have regressed about 10 years... back to the days we had goats in the backyard. LOL.
