For the love of a good flea market...

We used to travel far and wide for flea markets, and there really are some great ones out there (Alameda, Pasadena... only hours and hours of driving). It's still fun occasionally, but who has the time? Instead, we can enjoy our own Pomegranate Vintage Markets, full of great stuff, albeit on a slightly smaller scale. Vendors at our last market (July 5) brought some very tasty merchandise, at very good prices. It was nice and busy, despite the heat.

Funny that when I go around and take photos first thing in the morning, I'm so focused on just getting some shots that I sometimes don't even take note of the subject (beyond worrying if the light is okay and everything's in focus). Later, looking at the pictures, I could sometimes kick myself for not buying certain items (like that fabulous vintage doctor's bag filled with vintage instruments, and that corn hole game, made of reclaimed wood). Whaaat? How could I have missed those gems? And first rule of flea markets is: if you like it, buy it. Right now. Otherwise, it will go...

So, here are a few pictures of our last market. If you missed this one, don't worry; our next markets are scheduled for August 2, August 23, and September 13, from 10-4, in the gardens at Pomegranate!
