Flea Market Finds

On the third Sunday of any given month, you're likely to find me at the Long Beach Antique Market.  Although the die-hard (and flashlight-equipped) junkers rush the gates in the pre-dawn darkness, I prefer to wake up with some coffee before arriving at a more civilized hour. 

Even on the rare day when I come home empty handed, I still get great ideas from the vendors who set up their stalls so beautifully.  Here are some photos from previous visits.

 

Although there are plenty of bargains to be found, this little guy was priceless.

I'm always on the look-out for embroidered linens.  On my last trip, I was thrilled to find a pair of "crinoline lady" pillow cases.  The Merry Dog approves.
