buying a vacuum really excites you!!
This weekend, I went to the flea market at the state fairgrounds in Tennessee. Last summer, in order to get a free vacation, I let a rainbow vacuum salesman do a demonstration in my house. Since then, I've really been wanting one, but, if you know anything about them, they are VERY expensive! So....when I found one this weekend at the flea market, with a shampoo attachment nonetheless, for 1/4 the price, I went for it! My vacuum looks like it comes from the dark ages; however, I bet my carpet is cleaner that it has ever been! You should have seen the nasty stuff that I vacuumed up when I got home!
Here is my new purchase! Don't make fun of it!! I bet my carpet is cleaner than yours!
I also got very excited about another purchase I made. I must explain that when I was a child, I would make my Daddy get up very early in the morning on Saturdays to watch the Smurfs with me. I am a big Smurf fan so when I came across some glasses that Hardees sold back in 1983, I grabbed them!
This is the set I have.
There is also a set from 1982.....hmmm...maybe next time!

I believe you that your vacuum works well, but you obviously don't live in a multi-level home because there is NO WAY that I would be dragging that behemoth up and down two flights of stairs!!
I have to agree with Tarrah on the stair issue, but the vacuum is great! Thanks for letting me use it at my house!!! You're the best!
I have been flea market shopping since I was 9. I got old early. But not as old as you, of course!
holy crap Buffy! I had EVERYONE of those smurf glasses! what a blast from the past!
No way, I had those Smurf glasses when I was growing up, I can't believe you found them!
If you run out of carpet to clean, Daphne knows my address. Please feel free to come on over.
Seriously, congrats on your purchases. I just love getting bargains!
Over here fro Erin's (pigbears blog). I love going to our flea market, and just bought some too. AND I bought the shirt tales glasses. Do you remember the Shirt Tales? A lot of people have never heard of them! :)
