Greg and Michael and I watched Flea Market Flip - a lot. We all had opinions about what the "flippers" chose - how much they paid - what they decided to do to the pieces they purchased.
We each knew who paid too much for what item - who lacked creativity - who had no color sense. We all knew that Greg could spend $25 and make 3 items that were crazy creative - and win. He wouldn't need anywhere near the $500 total allotted for purchases. Buy low - sell high. Easy peasy!
Greg decided that he and I should go on the show as mother and son flippers. I laughed so hard I cried.
"I'm very little help, Greg," I told him, still laughing. "We would only have one day to "flip" our projects, you know,"
"No problem, mother. I'm used to doing the work of two people," he smiled.
He was serious! He looked it up. We had to have pictures of 4 items to send and we could apply by email.
I have to admit I would have loved to have done it. We shared a love of "junk". Some of my favorite gifts from Greg were found at garage sales. Nothing says LOVE like "I saw this and it reminded me of you - had to get it." I'll try to add a few of them here over the next week or so.
Greg "got me" - always.
