A sunny day, food, crafts, games, antiques, music, pony rides, and a beer garden with Hawaiin music. |
The vendors like to call it an antique show; some call it a flea market. We saw much of interest even if all we did was take photos. |
Arden is the kind of village where psychedelic and Victorian sensibilities exist side by side. |
We never figured out what it was but it made looked liked something from a Peter, Paul, and Mary song. |
Johanna, our neighbor, collects smashed metal junk and creates elegant figures of women such as the one above. |
Here's one reason I found the antique show so visually appealing. This doll looks like a baby, but it also looks 40 years old. Babies are innocent yet women who sleep with the enemy often have their heads shaved as a mark of disgrace. Then there's the price tag, as though this were the symbol of a baby for sale. Not a quiet image. |
By three o'clock, the Bake Booth had only three items left to sell. Because of the sunny weather, most vendors had a great day and the Arden Club made, we hope, a healthy profit to pay for the kitchen renovations and the new moonlight theatre.
