The Flea Market

Last weekend I went to the Rose Bowl Flea Market {happens only once a month!} to looks around and see if I could find a little treasure of my own that could fit in my suitcase.


I'd say there are 3 parts to the market: one with all the antiques and vintage furniture/home wares/accessories, another one with all clothing and another one with newer stuff that include plants and things people make themselves.


As you can imagine my favorite is the first section... and I hate it! Why? It is the one with the most stuff that I'd like to have like vintage china with beautiful patterns, mid century furniture in really good shape and lighting that that varies from many styles!


If you live in the area make sure you take a trip here even if you don't plan to buy anything or if you're visiting the city check that you'll be here the second Saturday of the month... no matter what, you'll love it!


Have a great Monday and enjoy!

    I was lucky enough to go once and I agree, awesome fun. The only thing is when I went it was unusally hot and we were getting burned and melting so we left much earlier than I would have liked.

    oh I wish I could go! we don't have anything like that near here. I always say I want to go to the one in Brooklyn, which isn't *too* far, but I've never made it yet!
