Hi!! I bought some babygros (think you call them all in ones!) 2nd hand in a Car Boot Sale (think you call them Flea Markets LOL!!) partly 'cos she has stitches after being spayed and she looks so cute in them!! Have to alter them slightly but newborn size are great! She does not mind at all being dressed up and even puts her leg through the sleeve!! Mind you the pup we are having in Sept may not be as agreeable lol !! Ana xx

Great photogenic pups YorkieRose! You sure get them to stay still! :P

Babygros! My daughter calls them "Onesies"! And you're absolutely correct, here they are called Flea Markets ... have no idea where that name came from! I will certainly try a "Babygro" and perhaps persuade Toto to let me dress her, at least in winter ... she is sooo cold natured! ;)

OL!! I also wonder where the name Flea Market came from!! Anyone know? We have them over here but they tend to sell more antique type stuff whereas a Boot Sale is supposed to be no traders , just genuine people clearing out their junk - does not always work out quite like that tho'!! How old is Toto?!! Ana xx

Here's what I found:
---
Dear Word Detective: Why are flea markets called "flea" markets? How did they get their name and why? -- Danny Sayer, via the Internet.

Well, you've brought your question to the right place. My relatives, especiallythe ones in Ohio, seem to be obsessed with flea markets and their suburban cousins, yard sales. You could be fleeing an erupting volcano with these people (unlikely in Ohio, I know, but one can always hope), and they'd insist on stopping the car to optimistically peruse two broken toasters, three boxes of Reader's Digest Condensed Books (just add verbs, I suppose), and the ugliest collection of white vinyl pocketbooks this side of Las Vegas. To me, visiting Ohio means saying "I'll wait in the car" at least ten times per day.

There are two theories about the origin of "flea market," and although I'm fairly certain that one of them is actually a case of linguistic coincidence, we'll take them both for a spin. According to etymologist Christine Ammer, the first "flea market" may have been New York's raucous Fly Market, a fixture in Lower Manhattan from before the American Revolution until around 1816. The "Fly" came from the Dutch name for the market, "Vly" or "Vlie," which meant "valley," and was pronounced, you guessed it, "flea." Voila, "flea market." Maybe.

However, while the Fly Market certainly existed, and its name was evidently indeed pronounced "flea market," the actual origin of the term most probably lies in Paris, where Le Marche aux Puces (literally, "market of the fleas") was a popular shopping venue. Le Marche aux Puces took its name, as you might have guessed by now, from the semi-humorous (and probably at least partly accurate) popular perception that the market's ragtag goods were more than likely to be infested with fleas.

In any case, "flea market" first appeared in English in the 1920's and is most likely a simple translation of the French market's name. If "flea market" had gained currency from the Manhattan "Fly Market," it almost certainly would have appeared in print much earlier than it did.

ANA _ What a great picture - looks like she's walking - you have a TODDLER!! I Love it!

Looks like our Fasteddie came up with a pretty good explaination of Flea Market!! :cool: Sounds like your Boot Sale is equivilent to a Yard Sale or Garage Sale here ... people simply display their junk outside with a "Yard Sale" sign and other people buy it and add it to the junk they already have!! :rolleyes:

I HAVE to share one of the funniest Yard Sale stories I ever heard! Years ago when my sweet Dad was still living, he and my Mom drove down to Ft. Benning, GA to visit my sister and her family [her husband was in the military and they were stationed there]. My sis was getting everything ready for their transfer to another post ... having a Yard Sale! This type activity was quite boring for the guys who decided to occupy their time cooking a steak dinner. They lit the grill before they went to the store for steaks so their coals would be ready when they returned. Someone came to the Yard Sale, asked if the grill was for sale ... my sister said "sure", dumped their coals and sold the grill!! :p Imagine my Dad and brother-in-law's surprise when they returned with the steaks and had to cook them in the house on the stove!! Most men here like their steaks cooked outside on the grill, very rare!! ;)

Our Toto was just one year old on July 18! :)

Oh, that's just evil that they sold the grill while they were getting the grub! But I can just imagine that happening... What a hoot!

Toto is just a few days diffference in age to Gypsy Rose - born on the 13th July!! Our new pup Gizzie was just born on the 16th so every year the three can have a birthday party here on YT?!!
Fasteddy - Thank you for the so interesting description of Flea Markets and its meaning etc!!
I am off now for a few days away in the motorhome so hopefully will continue getting to know you all on my return and keep in touch with YD members also who are now on here!! Luv, Ana xxx
