Long Beach Flea Market in July
Can you say hot? Really hot. Crowded. Glaring sunlight. All of this may explain why I acquired so little this month in Long Beach. Steve and I were resolved to get there early, but a late night Saturday drained some... Continue reading

Return of the Blog
I've decided to resurrect my blog, after months and months of neglect. A lot of changes have been going on in my life these past months and now it's time to forge a new road. My intention going forward it... Continue reading

Long Beach Flea Market September
Why do we go to flea markets in the blazing heat?! Because we are crazy. It was worth it though I didn't get a lot. It was a chance to visit with the vendors and compare notes with other shoppers... Continue reading

It's addicting, for sure!! I love the glossy green one and the one with the birds. You are hardly a novice, Ginny - look what you are making!
Bookish
I am feeling a little bookish today. I love making books. I learned how from Pam Sussman. Thank you, Pam. I have taken a few workshops from other people, but not many, so I am still a novice, but I love making books. The one above features a photo of my grandmother when she was a young woma...
August Pasadena Flea
Some flea market adventures seem to have a theme, usually unplanned. Apparently, the theme for the Pasadena City College Flea this month was "Things you can use in your art fair booth". I LOVE this note taker thingy. They even... Continue reading

What great ideas! I have some of these but never thought to turn them around and put on the brass label/pulls. Love it! I use their wooden magazine storage and covered the outside with old book pages and stain. Thanks for sharing, Ginny!
Ikea Drawers
Who doesn't have at least one set of Ikea drawers in their art room? This is what they look like when you buy them: They are just shouting to be played with. Ikea offers many different configurations to fit every need. I added scraps of paper to a set of Ikea drawers many years ago. I actually...
June PCC - HOT
Since I'm heading to the Pasadena City College Flea Market tomorrow, I suppose I should post these items from last month. I think I must have written it in my head and thought I had posted it for real. Well.... Continue reading

The Mystery Unfolds
What is this? You may want to sit down because this will take awhile. It's a sort of long, wonderful story, with a sorta kinda happy ending. Months ago, at the Pasadena flea, I stepped in to help a vendor... Continue reading

Littles from PCC Flea Market
Some days are just like that. This month, at the Pasadena City College Flea Market, everything I took home could have fit into one tiny bag. Speaking of small. Isn't this tiny clock hand sweet? I love the crescent moon.... Continue reading

April at the Long Beach Flea
A gorgeous day. Easter Sunday. I felt like a heathen, but still I went. And glad I did. Great day, wandering around all by myself. One can do a lot of damage when nothing else is on the agenda. I... Continue reading

Bonus Flea Market!
If it's the 5th Sunday of the month, then it's time for an extra flea market at Long Beach. It's like an unexpected gift. Well, except that you know it's coming if you actually look at a calendar. In any... Continue reading

This is hysterical! Although I shouldn't laugh, as you were mortified when it happened. I love the chocolate fish idea. Well, who wouldn't? It's chocolate. I think I may steal this, as it's much more fun than some of the April Fool's jokes I have fallen for. My mother used to "short sheet" our beds and put waxed paper in our sandwiches, between the meat and the cheese. That was actually funny, but we never gave her a chocolate fish.
Poisson d'Avril - April Fools' Day
On April 1st the French give each other chocolate fish called: "Friture." The tradition has it that on the 1st of April children try to stick a homemade paper fish onto people’s backs without the person knowing it, then run away yelling ‘poisson d’avril’, which is like saying, "April Fool". ...
I slipped away...
....for a short flea market visit. It was a jam-packed weekend, with important family events and too much to do, but, by gum (what the heck does that mean?), I was getting to Long Beach, if only for an hour.... Continue reading

First Flea of March
The threat of rain kept many of the vendors and visitors away from the Pasadena City College Flea Market. That might explain why I spent $15 on flea market finds and $20 on Girl Scout cookies! I did have fun,... Continue reading

Long Beach Flea Market in February
Whew! I am soooo glad to live in Southern California. In February. While my relatives are digging out from record snow and ice, I get to go to the great Long Beach Flea Market. Where it was 72 degrees. And... Continue reading

Living on Air
As if I don't collect enough, I now have a new passion. Tillandsias! I blame Sara's boyfriend Jeff. He gave me one for Christmas last year, in a lovely hanging glass globe. Then, I kept seeing them at the flea... Continue reading

February Flea Market in Pasadena
Honestly, I do other things than go to flea markets. Really. I may even share some of them with you one of these days. For instance, a bookbinding class at Otis College - one day/ NINE books! A journaling class... Continue reading

January Flea Market - Pasadena
Honest, a lot really did happen to me between the last post (December Pasadena Flea Market) and this post for January's flea market. I just haven't shared anything, mostly because I was essentially sick in bed for the entire month.... Continue reading

I missed TWO MONTHS of flea markets!! Oh, the pain. But I finally made it to Pasadena City College this month. Had a lovely time strolling with my husband, losing him and finding him again. You know how that goes.... Continue reading

IttyBitty Sidewalk Sale
Flea Markets can be overwhelming - too much to see; too many booths to visit. In fact, I am skipping the Long Beach Flea today (which is my FAVORITE). So, I needed a little fix yesterday. Every 6-8 weeks, there... Continue reading

Expanding the Studio
I hate to state it that way, as I fear my husband is watching me take over the whole house. But, it's true, I have claimed a corner of another room. I decided to segregate some of my activities, and... Continue reading

September Pasadena Flea Market
Holy Schmoly! It's September. How did that happen?! We've been in the midst of a blistering heat wave in Los Angeles. But I jumped into the oven that is outside in order to get to the Pasadena City College Flea... Continue reading

June Brooklyn Flea
Remember back in July when I posted about the Pasadena flea market and said I was working backwards? I never got there, did I? Here is a long overdue item from June. I had the great joy of squeezing in... Continue reading

All in the Family
It's somewhat of a sad week for me. My family is having our every-three-year reunion at the beach and for a number of reasons, I am not there. This gathering of 2 parents, 9 siblings, spouses, children, grandchildren and significant... Continue reading

Trust - Must
Have you ever done the "trust exercise"? You stand on a chair with a group of people who've "got your back". Without checking, without looking, without pausing.....you simply fallllllllllll backwards, fully expecting that they will catch you and not let... Continue reading
