Alameda Flea Market

My first trip to the Alameda Flea Market was quite the success. I do have to say that I was totally overwhelmed there; it was complete sensory overload. I could not focus. I didn't even get halfway through all the booths before I spent as much as I was allowing myself to spend and tired out. I will definitely be coming back again though, since I did not find a dresser I wanted to buy (and could afford). Here are some pics from the day.

Cool book filled with vintage sketches of Women's Clothing from the 1970's.

Deep fried zucchini, a must in my book.

Way cool vintage shoes!!! They were so delicate.

Awesome furniture.

And now for my haul:

*Please excuse the last two photos for being completely rotated... they just would not upload correctly.

I thought this would be a great piece to hang up on my wall for jewelry organization.

Vintage topper. This would be great with high waisted bottoms or over a tighter fitted dress.

Two necklaces and a bracelet.

Melrose Trading Post

If it is a Sunday and I'm in Los Angeles you will find me at the Melrose Trading Post. GUARANTEED! It is has been my favorite flea market for about 6-7 years. I'm that devoted. Today I found so many great things, I wish I had carried more money with me. For anyone in the LA area that is interested in visiting this flea market, it happens every Sunday on the Fairfax High School campus on Melrose and Fairfax.

Vintage Sunglasses and a 1960's costume jewelry necklace.

The blue jeweled tube may look like a lipstick case but it is actually a lighter. Very cool.

TONS of jewelry today.

Green glasses and dinnerware from the 1800's.

Vintage Clothing. I tried on a beautiful dress that unfortunately was too big to salvage.

Amazing furniture.

I also bought my mom a vintage crystal ice bucket, candle holders, and little appetizer dishes. Are there any flea markets you guys like?
