Sunday In The City.

Whew, what a weekend. My pals from Los Angeles were here visiting, and we got up bright and early Sunday morning and headed out to the always enormous Alameda Flea Market. Four hours and some fun finds later we headed back into the city, attended this very cool Self-Storage art installation, and then cruised to the Outer Sunset for super cheapo facials at the ever interesting Urban Beauty. Here's a peek at the flea market part of our adventures....


Pink Slip.


Checkered Past.


Angels & Insects.


Laundry Hamper.


Jackass.


Red Necks.


Puppy Love.

ooooh that flea market looks like fun! i'm still looking for something similar in the Portland area. Congrats on your guest blog gig at Design*Sponge this week! I really love your blog.

Dude,

are you ok? your pics are a bit unhappy today or is it just me? Don't worry being self-employed is going to be a very freeing adventure.

My grandpa used to say "jackass"
and i remember when people were called "red necks"

regards to that dress. My mom insisted on sewing my clothes because she was forced in the depression to wear such awful dresses. Thank god for moms that have talents :)

hope you have a great week

Love the Jackass LOL
it looks like something some of my gay clients would have in their house as the door greeter you know painted bright orange or something.

They sometimes get quite bold. Keeps life from neing to mundane LOL

glad your fine :)

Best Flea Market Ever! By Far! I only discovered its wonderfulness within the last year...but I have now been going faithfully for the last 7 or so months. And May was my Jackpot month!

Check out my finds:

While you were there I'm sure you noticed the gyno table. How crazy was that to see?

PS I'm with sanriofreak, I am EXHAUSTED after a day at the Flea! I go home and nap...well, after I gaze adoringly at all my finds.
