Ok, so I wrote about this faire a while ago on another blog I was being paid to contribute to– but now I wanna give them some love here as well.
First Sunday of every month, on the magical island of Alameda, you can find treasures of all sorts. Here’s some of the treasures I found last month. 
We have plans for making something like this to go above the stove in our kitchen
Grandma glasses are the way to go
Who doesn't want a leather Kangaroo?
And a Bike for two? I'm so in heaven.
The best part of this faire is that I find something new to appreciate every time. Sure, there are standard vendors, and overpriced items, and some things are absolute garbage BUT each time I go I have walked away with at least a few pieces that give my home, wardrobe and jewelry box a little bit more personality.
Because of that, I will go back again and again.
Come to the next Alameda Point Antiques Faire with me? March 4th! For more information visit their website here
You’re absolutely spot on Ms Kris. This flea market is great & one could spend all day there. I once bought a pair of earrings (not for me – at my age they don’t look good) for $200 from a woman selling jewelry there, a regular. Whowww a lot green. Had them cleaned and appraised only to find out they are worth close to $1000. They are hand painted of a Victorian-age woman on each earring, actually verity lovely. Why I bought them for a friend.
I love this place.
Great Story Jim! I’ve yet to take a huge risk on my purchases but that’s a very encouraging tale– almost antique roadshow style!
Love that Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs!! Priceless
I may take you up on your offer and join you one Sunday!!
First sunday of every month! It’s like the SC flea market on steroids (7+ hours of walking if you’re like Brendan and I)
