The Rose Bowl Flea Market recurs every second Sunday of the month and since moving into my new apartment in July I've already gone 3 times... There's just something about walking through rows and rows of fabulously unordinary items with people buzzing around trying to find all the hidden treasures and barter for the best deals. I've found that it can be a bit overwhelming if you don't go with a few specific goals and I happened to be so intently focused on mine that I didn't take a single picture to capture the experience. To make up for it, I'll show you the bit that I brought home with me.
I found this amazing wooden chest that was used for shipping "stuff" to and from Japan. I bartered like a pro and got it for almost half of what the seller was asking!
I also discovered some cool maps that were hand painted in Italy, a couple of shelves for my bathroom, and a "D." Success!
Love it, love it! The maps are a yes and the chest is beautiful!
