This Week from Lisa Congdon: Collector's View
Today I went to one of my favorite places: the flea market. I happened to go to the Alameda Flea Market, which happens here in the San Francisco Bay Area where I live the first Sunday of every month. But really I could have been in any of the millions of amazing flea markets or antique malls all over my continent (and I am sure all over the world). I love old stuff . I love places like this more than words can say.
Incidentally, I didn't buy anything I took photos of today (though I did buy a few other things!), but here are some of the scenes that caught my eye for some reason or another.
Enjoy.

Many treasures in these kind of markets! Love the vintage charms!
These are great finds! I went to the flea market, too, looking for great old things for an animation I'm working on :)
i was there this weekend and did a post too. i love it there. but i never finish the whole place!!
I haven't been to the Alameda Flea Market in a while. I can't really go unless I have a little spending cash. Too tempting!
Oh I love these types of markets. i went to a similar one in Sydney this past weekend. I'm posting photos of it today too. You might like them.
i wish i could find a flea market where i live! they always look so fun.
Wish I could pick some of those keys! Love them.
Trolls! Now I miss my childhood troll collection. : )
We went yesterday, too. The funniest thing I saw was when we got there, a woman carrying off that very same stag's head you have pictured here
