PERFECT WEATHER FOR SHOPPING

The weather was perfect this weekend, so I went to a large and well-known Ohio flea market. The good news--and we've heard similar reports from around the country--was that dealers were selling lots of merchandise. They weren't getting the high prices they got a couple of years ago, but they're buying for less so they're making a profitand collectors are happy. I bought a two-story birdhouse with shutters and a "brick" chimney for a bargain $13. But can anyone explain why at least six dealers told me they finally sold a set of dark green glassware they had been unable to sell at many previous shows? Is green this year's favorite color--perhaps a nod to the "green" environmental movement?
