To Market We Go

Today we took a little trip to the Long Beach Antique and Flea Market. The weather was perfect, cloudy even and so not like August in Southern California. I had a list of things in mind for this trip and top on the list was a bed for my daughter Francesca. Well. . we didn't have much luck in that dept but I did manage to find some great things for the site. I also had my eye out for pink and here are a few things I found. . .

I really wanted this bench (it was such a steal!) but DH kept asking the question of the day, "Where are we going to put it?" Why do men always need a plan. I would find room and make it work. . lol.

We did find this bed but it was a full and we needed a twin. Oh, I was so hoping to come home with one.

The kiddies really had a good time in their chariot. They even got a little magic show from a sweet little old man who sold them some Hot Wheels.

Here are a few other things that caught my eye. Some great chippy old chairs.

This booth had lots of pretty things. You just wish you could take it all home with you. All in all it was a fun day and I did find something that really made it all worth while. . but I'm not sharing just yet. I will say it is for Olivia my dress form and I now have a vision for her and can't wait to get started making her over!

Oh, before I end I guess I should give you a little look at a few of the goodies I got. Lots of old bottles, crystals, lace and a big box of old millinery flowers. . among many other great things. Thanks so much for stopping by and wishing you a day filled with inspiring treasures.
