A treasure of a poem, Kim! I love looking around, though I rarely buy anything. Savouring the atmosphere is alreday ample for me. ~ Regards // paul

Such a nostalgic mood you've created with your tanka, Kim. I feel as if you've transported me back in time, to cobblestone lanes and horse-drawn buggies. Thanks! ~ Gershon

I love yard-sales, street vendors. Most it is not about the treasures, but the people. They are the true treasures.
