Good morning, all!
Mattel profits fell 53% due to declining sales of Barbies and Hot Wheels (and an acquisition), but perhaps this generation of girls buy Bratz instead (?)
Last year, as some may recall, I mentioned that Hummel figures were not selling at the flea markets I attended, nor were Precious Moments.
Went to a flea market last Sunday, but it was so early in the season, few vendors were there & what they were selling was boring: CDs, socks, tools, lawn mowers, costume jewelry, Longaberger baskets, & what I think were Longaberger holiday ornaments, very cheap compared to what they used to be, like $10, and they weren't selling.
The interesting thing about the costume jewelry was that there were many, many necklaces made from large chunks of (fake) coral and (fake) turquoise. When I got a Chico's catalogue later in the week, similar pieces were shown. Am hoping this Sunday will have more "junk."
Bob Watch your blood pressure. Life's too short to get crazy over such things.
Carol, if you haven't left yet, have a wonderful trip!
Need to move things away from the windows so window washers can get to what they need to do tomorrow. So, have a great day, everyone!
