| What is a Virtual Flea Market? |
The subject of my board A Virtual Flea Market on Pinterest came up.
My daughter in the back seat, asked What is a Virtual Flea Market, Mom?
It's like the Dog Trade,(it's what our local Flea Market is called) but everything is done on line, and the people online are from all over the place.
Some of them have stores on:
- Esty.com
- Amazon.com
- Ebay.com
- And a bunch more I can't think of off the top of my head.
With my daughter's question answered she quickly moved us all onto another question, but her question got me to asking myself more questions.
That is a long standing argument to which came first. They both can be sold at a Market, so it really doesn't matter to which came first, to me. Don't sell all your Chickens at the market, or you won't have any eggs to sell in the future. Was the best advice I was given.

The nice thing about Dictionary.com they have a section on Word Origin.
It was interesting to learn that the combination of words Flea Market started being used in the 1920's. (How many generations ago was that? Great-Grandmother Elsie might of been born by then.)
The history on the Word Market is older. Which doesn't surprise me.
Humans have been trading goods between each other longer then that. It wasn't until some smarty pants came up with the idea of Money that trading goods between each other started getting easier.
Sometimes the silliest things pops in my head when I'm writing. I can't remember which toe it is that goes to Market. So I really hope you got a giggle.
Because of my unplanned break I know for certain that the popularity of my group board isn't because I'm blogging about it.
At the time that I'm writing this there is 1.5k people on Pinterest following the board. It is averaging 10 new people following it a day. So-
