I HAVE SHOPPED many local flea markets and countless garage sales. And I’ve seen a lot of quirky, odd, unusual, unique, weird merchandise. Like doll heads in a colander.
Assorted tools that appeared more art than tool collection.
A doll in a coffin.
Buttons galore.
And then there is this: Sellers of all kids will be at the annual “anything goes garage sale and flea market.” Now that’s different, I thought in decidedly Minnesota terms.
Clearly, kids will not be sold at the flea market from 10 am – 4 pm this Saturday, April 27, at the Faribo West Mall in Faribault. But the typo in the community calendar listings in the Faribault Daily News made me laugh. And, goodness, how we can all use a bit of laughter in our lives.
Happy shopping at the anything goes, sans kids, garage sale and flea market.

it really does make you wonder,…)
I shopped the garage sale and bought a book. The only kids were shoppers and vendors (with their dad).
Audrey, you know I’d love to accompany you on a shopping excursion like this one you share. How a single letter typo changes the meaning. Great post to start my day with a smile.
Thankful to have made you smile, Ruth.
That’s quite the typo! Reminds me of some occasionally found in church bulletins. My, oh, my!
I haven’t seen any in church bulletins. But I bet those could get entertaining. Glad you enjoyed this typo.
I would buy a couple! 😀
Laughing…
