It was a great day for the flea market. Last weekend was gorgeous here in Southern California - it felt like summer for the first time this year! I had a list of things I was searching for and not only did I find everything on my list I also saw a few other neat things along the way!
A nice fellow and his wife had a great display of old cameras. He was so kind to let me take a few shots to share with you here on the blog. I especially liked the one in the center as well as the tiny one pictured below...it was very hard to leave it for someone else to purchase!
On the table next to the cameras were a few sweet little baby dolls - yet another temptation!
This one had the prettiest auburn hair...
Next I came upon this wonderful display of old tins...so many tins...I can't imagine how long it takes the dealer to set up and take down!
I was so busy shopping that I kept forgetting to take pictures along the way so this is the last of them...raggedy ann and andy. I totally remember these plastic wall hangings from the 70's - do you?!
another temptation - a great jar of wooden spools of thread
Do you like flea markets? Do you have any favorites in your neck of the woods? I would rather shop the flea market than South Coast Plaza any day! :) Head over to Julia's blog (I am so excited she is hooked on Grey Gardens!) to see what everyone else is hooked on this week!
Oh I love flea markets! I actually travel great distances to attend a few.
Please stop by my blog. I am hosting a 200th post giveaway.

I'm so envious of your photography skills. Whenever I try to take pictures for my blog, they look terrible! Your photos make me want to check out the flea markets around here!

I miss the fleas in CA. Here in Ohio, we don't have even one that compares near me as far as I know. Great pictures :)

Adorable! We have a 'antique' barn near where I live which is more like a flea market. I love going there for a rummage. Love your blog!
