@woody I saw that also, i wanted it but had no clue what to do with it, shower curtains sound awesome
"Also bought some FOLLIES props which are damn cool. They're the guests invitations personalized to the characters and signed by the actors who played them. They were out of Bernadette (Sally) when I saw them so if anyone has one and is willing to part with it, I'll be your best friend FOREVER! I want to frame the 5 that I got and would love to add that one to it. :) "
OOOOOOO Jordan I am turning an unpleasant shade of greenwithenvy.
BRILLIANT idea.

HI,
I won tickets to The Addams Family, Mamma Mia, Mary Poppins, The Submission, Bessie Smith and Voca People and would be willing to trade if people have tickets they were looking to exchange.
showchoirguy, would you mind uploading a pic of the Spiderman shoes? I sat front row from rush and if they are the ones I'm thinking of that would actually be so cool.
My roommate (and flea market partner-in-crime) is unfortunately in the hospital right now so I shopped for some stuff on his behalf as well. A pretty successful day and probably the most I've ever spent at a single flea market.

- I don't even own a record player? But the HAIR record was $2, so I bought it.
- the baseball cap from the 8 reading was item #3 (items #1 and 2 were never found) that I was actually looking for; the windowcard too was just bonus
- my best waiting game was for the War Horse autographed bag, which started the day at $75, when it hit $30 I bought it
Oh, and was at one table accused of stealing the Wonderland hoodie that already owned and wore to flea market; that was fun.
I got Bernadette's earrings from GYPSY, Bernadette's earrings from FOLLIES, and the FOLLIES opening night gift (blanket with embroidered logo and the date)
I am.a happy girl :)
