Vintage Finds From The Flea Market

Last Sunday I went to one of my favorite flea markets, the IVC Flea Market held the first Sunday of every month. Did I also mention it's free to get in?! I don't know how it is in other places, but in Southern California you have to pay to get into most flea markets. Anyway, luck was on my side and I came home with some awesome little treasures. I went with my parents, and let me tell you, I like going with them to flea markets for various reasons. The first of course is that I get to spend time with them and since my dad actually likes going to flea markets we get to bond more. The second is that they get to drive. Having to drive every single day a total of 100 miles it is a relief to not have to drive on weekends. Lastly, every so often they'll offer to buy me something. That is how the 1960s handheld mirror and brush came to my possession. They are in really great condition and now after years of wanting a set I finally have one! The dress above in the first photo is just a sneak peek of what I wore, more on that tomorrow!

Blogger Meet Ups- Jasmine

Earlier today I had the great pleasure of meeting Jasmine, of Transient Withdrawal, in real life! It was so much fun and in no time we were chatting it up like old time friends. She is so sweet and cute! I hope we can hang out again soon! We met up at the I.V.C. Flea Market, held the first Sunday of every month for you locals out here. The best part of this awesome flea market is that it's free. All other flea markets should take note!! None of this eight bucks to get in b.s. (Pasadena Rose Bowl Flea Market I'm looking at you)! Overall it was a successful morning! We both found some great things.
Here are some moments of the day:


Old hair nets packaging with no hair nets inside. I checked. 

Stork Bingo....ummm NO THANKS!! haha

Lots of pretty cameos! sigh.

Jasmine found a super cute straw hat for only three bucks!! 

Proof that we met, haha ^,^

Jasmine can jump really high! hehe, okay, she might have jumped off the rock ^,~

My finds: a bow tie clip, necklace, porcelain cameo that I made into a brooch, a cameo that I made into a ring, and some awesome little metal Star Wars figurines from 1982 (yes, I love Star Wars). The best part, I only spent thirteen bucks!!
