Flea Market Haven

Once again, I hit pay dirt yesterday while roaming around the local flea market.

One booth made it all worthwhile…it was that perfect combination of funky vintage merchandise and killer prices!

I also dug through pounds and pounds of cut out metal pieces for the letters in ALTER EGO MEXICANA

…to make a sign for the upcoming studio tour.

The flea market continues to give me a rush and be my ultimate weekend paradise!

  2. I went to the flea market yesterday. I love to rumage around through other people’s junk. I didn’t find any treasures on this visit, but i did get some good ideas. I agree, it is a paradise to wander amongst the ghosts.

    Peace
