Hot dogs! Get your FREE hot dogs here!

Every year a local church in our community has this gigantic flea market. I always look very forward to going, and mark my calendar as soon as I get the date.  And every year I always score treasures to add to my doggie collection. This year my favorite treasure had a whopping price tag of 10 cents!  Which I was SO willing to pay. But when I got up to the checkout the lady said “Oh that’s only 10 cents…you can just have it.”  Yes, that woman became my new best friend ;).  So now, for those of you who are thinking… big deal…a free stuffed animal. Well, No siree!…It’s not just a stuffed, so cute...makes you want to eat it up, wiener dog, but a vintage "autograph hound". They were popular in the 50’s -60’s.

But what I love about this one …besides the fact it’s a dachshund… is that it still has its pen attached and it’s not autographed! 

Now my good fortune is about to become your good fortune…that's if you’re a fan of the wiener dog. (Which I know many of my readers are.) In my hunt to try to date my autograph hound I came across this sweet set of FREE printable dachshund gift tags. 

And YES I’m going to share the link.

After you open the link above Just right click and save like you would any image....and then print to your heart’s content! J  

I did find a few more doggie goodies at the sale. And this last one I’m sharing had me walking down memory lane in my mind. It's a copy of one of my favorite reading class textbooks from elementary school.  “The Dog Next Door”.  I love rediscovering books I enjoyed in my childhood and sharing them with Shannie. Especially when they have such great pictures.
   This one however wasn’t free…it was 25 cents. hehehehehe

So I will end this post with Shannie’s response to me when I told her we were going to a flea market.  She said… “Grammy, don’t you think with all these dogs we should stay away from anything with a name like FLEA market”…..LOL. I love that kids!
