A Flea Market Foray or How I Met My Mirror.....

Walking through the overcrowded establishment, my eyes were roving over all the choices displayed before me. A slight blurry gleam of a smile to my left caught my eye. I turned, only to receive a flirtatious wink! I was a bit taken aback but curious at the same time. A second glance beckoned me forth and a conversation followed.

"Hello."

"Hi."

"I see I caught your eye."

"Um, yes, your wink startled me."

"Step closer, I won't bite."

"That's OK."

"Would you like to see my etchings?""Uh, I am really not THAT kind of a girl!"

"They are beautifully done."

"I can see them from here."

"Do you not find me attractive?"

"Yes, very, only I don't usually go for your type.""I can see that you are intrigued. Come, let us get to know one another."

I step forth hesitantly as I notice something amiss, "Pardon me, but your tag is showing."

"Would you be a darling and fix it?"

I reached forth to tuck the tag in and find my fingers grasp firmly in a friendly clasp to which I gasp,"Only $4.00!""Yes, sadly, I am not of high pedigree from the old country. I am a cheaply made imitation, a fake, a fraud, a faux!"

"Oh, no~no, no~ no, no! You are beautiful and so artistically done! I would display you in my home!"

To which a hopeful, "You would?" whispered forth.

"I would indeed!"

My new friend and I went strolling through the establishment, arm in arm, me smiling and he winking at all the other patrons in his flirtatious manor. As we left I did tell him that we would have to do something about that tie! I am thinking something in a nice velvet and much more subtle in color.

I hope you enjoyed meeting my new friend and all his faux charm! He is happy to hang out in the studio on a door knob until his new home has been properly painted. I will be back with more flea market story finds.

Blessings,
Miss Sandy
