Alameda Flea Market :: February

Need a chandelier made of antlers?
How about a sweet little cement deer from Paris?
A Nutella crepe for sustenance?
We are at the Alameda Flea Market for our yearly, early morning pilgrimage on this Superbowl Sunday.  I handed the camera over to Grady to help squelch his whining and keep him engaged a little bit longer, while I searched the rows of antique goodness.
We saw lots of animal statues and nature-inspired goodies. 
Vast collections of vintage keys. 
Dominoes anyone?
Grady negotiated a deal with this vendor for a sweet peace sign to hang in his room.  
After a few hours of walking the aisles - we were ready to go home!
Loved this little piece of stolen property?
Perhaps my flea market and thrifting days are nearing an end with the boy.  He did not enjoy waking at 6 am and walking the market.  The Nutella crepe was the highlight of this flea market experience, along with a jeweler's loupe he obtained early on with his money.  I'll give him a thrifting reprieve for the rest of this month.

We made it home by noon and the day was absolutely warm and gorgeous.  Not bad for a thrifting adventure on this Superbowl Sunday.  Not bad at all.
