the things they think are uselss i can understand
case in point: my favorite find of the day for it’s simplicity and detail. a 1940s wire pipe cleaner chandelier ornament with real wax candles.
hello gang, ca va? it was a great day and night in the city, of course, because the flea market was on! it’s got to be my favorite thing to do on a weekend morning. meet friends, get a coffee at the blue dog cafe and hit the garage.
today didn’t disappoint and there was loads of eye candy. lots of shots didn’t turn out cause i’m still experimenting with a new camera and am hopeless with the settings. that’s why some are blurry :(
as usual there was a ton of great stuff. but i didn’t get to shoot much cause the dealers were so uptight about people taking pics. of course, try and stop me!
so as usual there were bargains everywhere, this divine little 20′s chandelier was $250 cause it was missing one of it’s blue crystals.
random! it’s funny when you get home and see what you gravitated toward that day
this collection was amazing. looking at these, i wish i’d bought a couple things. maybe i’ll go back tomorrow…that’s what sunday’s for, right? have a great night!

That chandelier is magnifique! Fleas are always so fun but I inevitably come away thinking I missed out on the opportunity to buy something I hesitated on! Happy Dimanche:)

oh i’m so happy to have you guys to share it with. it’s truly a cultural phenomenon that’s pure pleasure. if you have fleas in your area, support them, they’re national treasures! i had to go back today to get a little something and do it all over again ;p
