Spring brings so many good things to San Marcos, from wildflowers to the return of hummingbirds. One of my family’s favorite pastimes also returns in the spring: Yard sales, garage sales, estate sales and flea markets. Once or twice every month starting in March, our family wakes up before dawn, brews several thermos-fulls of coffee and strikes out to go garage sale-ing with the Daily Record classifieds as our guide. We have scored some great deals on all kinds of interesting items, from vintage clothing (a gorgeous a-line gold silk dress that looks like it was tailor-made specifically for me for only $5) to books, furniture, toys and jewelry. On Sunday, we are going to check out the weekly flea market at Wonder World Cave. Located in the Wonder World parking lot at 1000 Prospect Street, this flea market runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Stop by! You never know what you might find.
