Taylor Swift + Ventura Flea Market = One Great Day!

What a day! Vintage, ephemera, country singers??? Oh, My! You never know who you'll see when you go to the Flea. Last time it was Ty Pennington, this time it was, drum roll please....
 This gal....Yep, Taylor Swift! Crazy!


There I was looking at jewelry and I looked up and she was right next to me in a booth! Oh my goodness she is prettier in person than on TV! And boy is she tall! I just wish I could have put my words together fast enough to ask for an autograph for my baby girl, Sydney, who is in love with her! Ugh! My brain just wouldn't work fast enough! Who'd have thought that among the treasures at a flea market, one can run into their favorite singer!
Win, win!
So not only did that totally make my day, but to top it off we came home with some amazing vintage luggage, beautiful old mirrors, some amazing cottage pictures, and some of the cutest vintage aprons ever!
Oh, and Taylor if you should happen to read my lowly little blog, I also collect vintage books and one with your autograph would definitely be a prized possession!  ;)

Flea Markets, TV Stars, and Sunburns! Oh, My!

 Well, this post is a little late in coming as we are still recovering from our all day adventure at the Ventura Flea Market. We had a great time shopping for some "new" vintage items to bring home for the store. So much so, that we even forgot the sunscreen, oops! 
 It was packed with both vendors and shoppers...probably because Ty Pennington was doing a "Antiques Roadshow" type of new show which will be airing soon. 
 Sorry, no live pictures off him, only the set. It seemed that every time I got to the set he had just walked back into his tent. Bummer! 

But just look at the great finds around every corner! 



We were exhausted by the end of the day....
But look at all those goodies!

Come check them out! We just got the car unloaded!
