One part voyeurism two parts balls-to-the-wall visual hunt, flea markets aka “vintage antique markets” are an all out sensory explosion. The sounds of haggling ring through the air commingling with the gasps and squeals of marketers who’ve finally found that one piece they’ve been hunting for. In my case, my gasps and squeals are due to the 40 pound bags of plates and bowls I’ve been carrying on my shoulders through my 5 hour shopping spree! Despite the bruising my shoulders may suffer, a good flea market is a living, pulsing event and one of the only places I can reliably find rustic, vintage, well worn props. Where else can you find a vendor selling only retro Tupperware containers of all shapes, sizes, and functions!? Love it! Here’s a little peak (iphone happy snappy shots) at some of my fave grabs of the day. More to come as they make their way to the shoot table!
Where do you find your best pieces of inspiration?
flooded with memories of yesteryear's school lunches
cockadoo what a day, the sun is shining brightly!
I’m bummed to have missed this adventure with you! Next time. Looks like you had some great and colorful finds!
I also bought some iron chairs for the outdoor lounge. Super cool and they’ll be great around a fire pit. Can’t wait for you to come next time!
Amazing!
