Alameda Point Flea Market

Today I went to the Alameda Point Flea Market with my sister Maryl and her husband Rocky.

We got an early start...we were there by 7:15am...the sun was just coming up. The line wasn't too long.

It was fun going through piles of loose jewelry looking for those special pieces to re-purpose.

Below is a picture of a box of glass slides...only $1 each, which I couldn't pass up. I'm not sure what I'll make with the slides...but I'm sure I'll come up with something. 

Next is a picture of my sister and her husband searching through a pile of name patches. My brother-in-law even found his name, "Rocky" on one of those patches!

Below is a cool booth that sold some hand made aprons and purses.

 Here's a picture of the owners of the booth.

 One of them is modeling an apron. I had to buy one too, which you'll see at the end of this post.

I found some cool metal pieces from this pile of "junk". After taking the class from Leighanna Light, I'm in search of small metal pieces.

The picture below shows a painting in progress. Someone set up an easel in an empty stall and was painting the view in front of them.

Below are pictures of the items that I came home with...

Love that black velvet purse with the aqua satin lining.

I love this picture frame with the scissors - so simple, I know...but it was just calling my name.

I'm collecting yard sticks after I saw the post from Paula at One Lucky Day

This is the apron I bought at the booth I showed above...I might turn this into a purse.

I'm collecting black bound books (got that idea from Paula, too)

It was such a fun outing today. Alameda Pt. flea market is the first Sunday of the month - you have to check it out if you're in the area - especially if you like to hunt for vintage finds!
