Welcome to Caities flea Circus........
I have always wanted to run away and join the circus......to be flung through the air on silver trapeze bars, to tame lions and tigers and bears....oh my..... Or to be the girl in the pink sparkles tutu riding the white horse in the middle of the ring.........sigh......
But sometimes you can't run away....so you form your own circus, one where you wear many hats and juggle everything on a day to day basis......and every once in a while...you put on a ball gown, wiggle your ears, and dance under the big top.

I specialize in lovely and unusual Flea market finds......... I love antiques, the odd, the orphans, the ones with patina and shine..... those lost to time. I love nothing better than finding a piece and finding its history.
I head to Europe once a year to find special treasures as well as finding treats from the great mid-west........
... I love it when ones eyes light up with that 'special find' ...... I hope you can find that at my little flea circus...........
smooches......... caitie xoxoxxxxx

The little green book of Chairman Rhama....Brian Herbert






The Little Green Book of Chairman Rahma
by Brian Herbert

The world has been saved, a wild revolution, formed by environmentalists, has seized control of the United States....... It's a bright new green green world....or so it seems.

A world dominated by the Dictator Chairman Rahma, on the surface seems idyllic, but great dictators who rule with complete and absolute authority, will be challenged. In a world ruled by complete censorship and an iron will there is an increasing amount of descent. In this case by corporations and rebels alike, joined by foreign corporations and governments, the the almighty grip of Chairman Rahma, begins to topple.

I enjoyed the romantic notion of a completely green world, where, amongst many other things, air pollution is outlawed..... But the reality of human nature ( and mutants) ..... shows it's true recalcitrant ways.

A incredibly thought provoking read.....

The secret lives of the Tsars.........by Michael Farquhar

Secret Lives of the Tsars
Three Centuries of Autocracy, Debauchery, Betrayal, Murder, and Madness from Romanov Russia
By Michael Farquhar


The scandalous and salacious life and times of the famous( or is it infamous) tsars and tsarinas  of Russia. A lovely rich salacious history of mother Russia.

I have read other books in this series.......
And find them equally compelling.

Gossip, intreague, sassy, odd, bizarre and utterly fabulous. Michael Farquhar
does not disappoint.

A great fun read of some very compelling and intreaguing characters, played out on the vast landscape of Russia. Peppered with quotes and correspondence of the era, each tsar or tsarina, is brought to life...and the sauciest bits laid bare. A great read!!

Absolutely enjoyable.
