Flea Market Treasure

We did go to the flea market last Saturday morning.  I hemmed and hawed as to whether or not I really wanted to go.  Not really having much disposable cash was my main reason to stay away but....the draw of finding a real bargain called me more!  We were out of the house and at the airport by 8AM.  Many people were already leaving with their assorted treasures!  I've been told by my "experts"(2 people who go all the time)that being there by 6AM is the best time to find things before they get picked over.  Sounds kind of hard to believe considering how many vendors are there and how much is available.  I only bought 1 old postcard.  My cousin's husband is a collector so I thought I'd see what the draw is.  I went to one of many postcard vendors and was guided to cards from my mother's hometown and surrounding area.  Not really a lot available but about 5 cards in I found a postcard, postmarked 1918, addressed to an old family friend and written by my mother's adopted mother and mentioning mom's father!!!  Unbelievable!!!  I called Mom and read it to her and she confirmed the information.  I think maybe the postcard "bug" has bitten me!  I'm going to be on the lookout for more family finds this summer but I realize I most likely won't be this lucky again.
