Mayleen nodded, "Oh me too. It would be awkward not having someone to share girl talk with."<br/><br/>She was surprised to see Teresa with a bird that shook hands, Tallon to hand. She grasped the bird's left talon's gently and spoke in her native language, "Nice to meet you Razor." She smiled at Teresa, "Oh he will come in handy. He can send messages for us."<br/><br/>Mayleen noticed the newcomer spoke to Lore Master and his voice was familiar. She made a notion to speak to him after he visited her first. His voice had a familiar resonessence to it, especially when he hollered. She did not get a good look at him but he looked like someone she knew. The thought would be for later. She did not to forget what she wanted to buy.<br/><br/>First thing Mayleen did was trade money for beads, and goods the Gypsies would trade with her people. Then she made a mental list of things she wanted for herself. She traded beads and coins for a bed. She traded her old fur coat and new blankets for a plow horse. Then she haggled coin and her boots that were broken in and already had beads for the timepiece with a chime. She haggled in the price if the chain to half.<br/><br/>Then she plaited the gypsey's daughter hair with beads for a feather mattress. and deck of playing cards. She fixed odd leather goods an older man for a rocking chair with a pillow that was made of paisley material.<br/><br/>The gypsies had different jars, mugs, utensils, and dishes.<br/><br/>She gathered her Dragon Schoolmates, "We can each buy a piece and get other pieces free. Then share what we need. We will spend less. Everyone put in 30 silver coins. We only need one butter churn, two butter molds,  a set of twelve dishes and utensils for cooking. We can get playthings for the dragons to share outside. How about playthings for us croquet,  badmitten, wood paddle and ball. Twenty silver each."<br/><br/>Mayleen haggled for dragon bed mattress, a sack of feathers to make headdresses, essences, herbs, roots, and flower seeds for medicine and soap. She purchased a bag of fat for soapmaking, glycerine, citronella, candle wax and mold, and a jar of honey. She splurged on candy sticks, peppermints, lollypop molds, sugar, candy molds and pie tins.<br/><br/>A gypsey showed her how to make bread using a pan, rolling pin, and ground wheat flour. She loved the bakery lady and learned how to make pastries with fruit. She was given a crate of jars of fruit preserves.<br/><br/>By the end of the day, her wagon was loaded with discarded and new furniture and crates of food. Trunks of discarded fabric, metal, and cork, wine bottles, and odd and ends that the Gypsey's no longer needed. To her, they were all treasures that were rare. She was given a box of jingle bells of different sizes for fixing old shoes. She thought the bells would be nice for her dragon. A man gave her a bag of marbles and collection of rocks he traded for her gloves. She had a spare pair of beaver ones that were better.<br/><br/>Dragons like shiny rocks. The marbles could be used for games. She had rock pieces that could be made into jewelry once she melted the metal scraps. If anything she was resourceful.
