1. These Environmentally-Safe Glass Cleaning Cloths that Never Streak
My mom and aunt swear by these cloths. All you have to do is use water...nothing else, and it gets any glass super clean without leaving any streaks! They're also great for the environment and they're made in the USA...what could be better? These cloths can last 3-5 years each and will leave you saying "Holy Moly" when you're done with the chores.

2. This Plastic Comb that is Actually a Knife
Don't let it fool you. It may look like just a harmless hair product, but once you take the comb apart, you'll find a 4.25" knife blade made from hard ABS plastic. Attackers beware. This would be a great concealed self-defense item for going out at night.

3. These Camp Fire Roasters that Are Easy to Store
Summer is for roasting marshmallows and hot dogs over a fire, and these telescoping camp fire forks are perfect for doing so! They extend up to a whopping 34", but retract to the original 11" for easy storage. No more having to worry about long forks poking you in the eye at the campfire!

4. This Addictive Seasoning Blend called "Happy Salt"
Happy Salt is a perfect blend of salt, spices, dehydrated onion and garlic. Use it on anything you would put salt and pepper on. It's great for meats, salads, soups, eggs, and vegetables. Warning: this stuff is addictive. Since 1981, the vendor, Shipshewana Spice Company, has sold in Shipshewana, Indiana. Although you can find Happy Salt in stores around Northern Indiana, you won't find it at a better price than at his booth at the flea market.
Find it: Shipshewana Spice Company, Booth 646, Shipshewana Flea Market
Price: $3.75
5. These Polarized Sunglasses That Provide Glare Protection
Planning on being out on the water anytime this summer? Protect your eyes with polarized sunglasses - which have a special filter that block the intense reflected light that is often on the water. With many different shapes, and colors to choose from, you'll be both safe and stylish in your new shades!

7. These Bubble Bath Bomb Cupcakes that Are Not for Eating
They may look good enough to eat, but these cupcakes are actually for bath time! The top is a bubble bath, which pops off and becomes bubbly when you hold it under your bathtub faucet. The base of the cupcake is a bath bomb which fizzes and is so delightful after a long day. With all of these different scents and colors to choose from, what's not to love?

9. This Double-Sided Dry Erase Calendar for Only $2
This dry erase board is perfect for college students or for families who need to keep track of monthly activities! I like that it is double sided so that if you ever get sick of using the calendar, it can also be just a plain dry erase board. Or, you could use the calendar on one side, and flip it to reveal a grocery list or other reminders. Gotta love being organized!

10. These Handmade Kitchen Towels That Double as Pot Holders
Do you ever grab for the kitchen towel when it's time to get food out of the hot oven? I know I do, and I immediately regret it because of all the scrunching and folding that needs to happen just to protect my hands. Well, fear not, because with the handmade towels you can find at booth 490, you get a pot holder on top! They'll match any kitchen decor too.
