Three Flea Markets, A Dairy & A Road Sign

A day & evening trip with my friends Steve and Kelly (who took the iPhone photo of me in the record booth).  Amazing conversation, many laughs & cultural archaeology.  Saylorsburg, Wind Gap, Zern's of Gilbertsville & Longacre Dairy of Barto, Pennsylvania.  31 July 2010.

Vinyl Therapy: Lush Sounds & Laughs

Records from the same Saturday trip that furnished me with the swag in the post below.  Vinyl and I (both old and new) have had a long-standing love affair.  Whenever possible, I even buy new releases from current artists on LP if it includes a CD or download ticket as part of the package.  As for the sizable percentage of vintage items in my record collection, I wonder exactly how many OTHER people's old collections my own library has been built from.  

A Day's Take: Clicker. Stirrer. Cards, Etc.

A few of the fun vintage items that I collected during a Saturday trip to some flea markets with two friends.  

Incidentally, the grand total for the items featured here is less than 5 dollars.

Memento Mori: Most Blessed Sacrament

A peaceful churchyard of stone monuments.  Although I've driven by this place many times over the years, this was the first time my friends and I stopped to take a walk and a visit with some of the locals of decades (and centuries) past.  Church Of The Most Blessed Sacrament.  Route 100. Bally, PA.

We Want To Obey

  

Several scenes from a 1968 children's book which expounded the virtues of tidiness, godliness and (above all) obedience.  This creepy, kitschy flea market find will undoubtedly become fodder for my current series of collages, but I wanted to upload it before it was clipped apart and pieces of it got woven into the fabric a larger tapestry of images.
