My dh took me to the outdoor flea market this morning. It was a little hot but glad we went. I found a mini stand up bear pan from wilton for $1.00 and a jack-o-lantern pattern muffin pan from wilton also for $1.00. I went on the wilton site when I got home to see the different uses for this pan when we got home. I am excited about using them both for the first time. I have a lot of ideas to work on now just have to find time to do them all.

You guys are soooo lucky with all the things you can buy in the States! Here in New Zealand we are so limited. I've been buying my cake pans off Ebay (US) but each pan cost me between $15us to $20us just for postage.

Wow $1! Now that's a bargain!

I enjoy going to yard sales to look for cake supplies. I spent this past weekend on the 127 yard sale (the worlds longest yardsale) and found quite a few cake pans for $1 - $3. I bought a glass cake stand for $12 as well.

Wow, I've never thought to check the local flea markets and I stay on the edge of town so there are so many surrounding cities that I could check out. This is great. Thanks craftst3. I love your username too!!

I absolutly LOVEEEEE flea markets! I had never been to one until this past march when my boyfriend and I stayed 10 days with my granparents down in florida. We went to SEVERAL flea markets and I had SO much stuff I couldnt take it all back with me!! I had to send it home with them (they stay down for the winter so I had to wait for them to come home as it all wouldnt fit on the airplane with me icon_sad.gif)

Now, my grandma is an avid garage saler (i am too but she goes WAY more than I do) so she alwwayyyss picks me up stuff everywhere. I have several cake carriers and stands that she gets for a few dollars. I also have so many pans - i havent even used 1/2 of them. So she keeps my collection growing which I dont mind at all icon_smile.gif
