Savenger Hunt

Spring in Pasadena

I spent the last 2 weekends going to flea markets .

I have been on a mission to prepare for a class I 

am taking in the end of april . I need old metal hinges 

and knobs , brass chain , stamped metal ... but while

i am there i might as well check out old lace and fabric.

In fact I saw lots of things i could buy . I had to tell myself

Walk away , walk away , walk away ......

.

This was a cool booth in alameda . When did flea

market booths become so stylized ? Back in the 70's

I used to have a booth at the marin county flea market .

That meant arriving at 5 am to get the same spot every

sunday . It was not very stylish , more like set up a table 

and get your stuff out as fast as you could. It always

amazed me how many people were there waiting for 

us to put our stuff out .

I loved this trim . I would have put this on the

bottom of my pants ! Does anyone remember the

ribbon store in sausalito ? I spent many a day in that

store . I was so sorry when it burned down . They 

opened a new store but it was never the same.

I could not help my self ! and to find 2 of them .

I did not buy these but I enjoyed seeing them.

These were at the rose bowl flea market. 

Both markets were a lot of fun .

It was a great weekend . 

It really does feel like spring 

in california .

Have a great spring where ever you are !
