So as we browsed the acres of booths we decided to show off what we saw and wanted to go with a theme. Let's call it "Nature." All our finds today either had to be dug up, skinned or otherwise liberated from mother nature. Here's the Top 5 of what nature's bounty had to offer:
5. Skulls - Various Animals/Sizes
The best part here is the variety. If you're in the market for the a small mammal skull then odds are you can find what you need at this booth. What's your pleasure? Muskrat skull? Skunk skull? With jaw? No jaw? One stop shopping.
4. Barite Rose Rocks
The official state rocks of Oklahoma are so rare that they are almost only found in the Sooner State. These aren't the best formed ones we've seen but their still pretty good. The unique way they are formed makes them look like their namesake roses and the Oklahoma red dirt gives them their appropriate color.
3. Bear Skin Rugs
So apparently bear skin rugs are a real thing. They usually only exist in cartoons and 1970's cologne advertisements but it looks like they can also be found at First Monday. Even though the usual cliche is to relax on one of these in front of a roaring fireplace, these guys seem a little too creepy to be relaxing.
2. Big Honkin' Rock Slab Tables and Chairs
If you ever wanted to feel more like Fred Flintstone in the comfort of your own home then these beauties are for you. Sure they're a little pricey and probably extraordinarily difficult to move but you can't deny how cool these things look. Can't wait to see their rock slab recliner and loveseat.
1. Cobra Vertebrae Necklace
You may be "cool" but are you "Cobra Vertebra Necklace cool"? Probably not. Only a certain kind of person could pull off adorning themselves with the bones of a poisonous snake. If you're not sure that's you then you can work your way up to it with the Cobra Vertebra Bracelet.
It was a great haul this time around. We'll see what we get at the next flea market...
