Long Beach Flea Market Finds

I feel so fortunate to live so close to the Long Beach Flea Market. It's only about 4 miles away so I try to go every month. Sometimes I have hits and sometimes misses. Typically when I am looking for something specific it eludes me. Like when I was looking for vintage wooden dominoes, I could not find one! So today I was slightly skeptical when I went on a search for french inspired items. I am in full French mode for my upcoming Moulin Rouge Event, and today, LB Flea did not disappoint!

{I found this bag for 18 bucks labeled doll dresses and stuff, I offered $10, he said, $15. SOLD!}

{i would have paid $15 for that little skirt! I love buying grab bags, there's always little surprises inside}

{and here is such a surprise, this sweet little pink bonnet}

{here are my Francais finds-souvenir post cards from Lyon, Vintage grossgrain ribbon in the French Flag color, 3 more  Carte Postales, and a 1929 tour guide that even has and ad for Moulin Rouge in it, and some french ribbon}

{Okay this sweet baby blue ribbon was calling my name, but it was $15 bucks! But then I did the math, thats only 1.50 per yard.... sold!}

{okay they had me at "Tiffany" this is a 1919 Cosmopolitan magazine, the guy commented on the poor condition. I LOVE the poor condition}

{love love love these images}

{and this}

(and this}

I also found a bevy of old broken rhinestone jewelry, at a very good price. And believe me the market for broken jewelry is rough! Overall I had a great day even though it was hot! Bumped into my friend Andrea, can't wait to check her blog out to see what else she found! (And by the way, I saw like 10 different boxes of wooden domino's- go figure!) LB Flea is the 3rd Sunday of the month, find there website here- and happy junkin!
