Bright Sunshine and a Gentle Breeze at The Irvine Flea Market

I'm seriously loving this cool summer as it is making for amazing days at the flea market.  This past Sunday at The Groves Antique Market at The Great Park in Irvine brought lots of new faces and lots of new sellers too.  I actually really enjoyed taking a break and walking around to see the new venders and what they were selling.  It's nice to see such variety from one vender to the next as one too many stalls with all of the same thing can be overwhelming.  Some very cool things I did see were an antique Japanese Samurai Winter Coat with armor, some antique French chairs, a vender with books only from the 19th century, a beautiful chandelier with all of its antique crystals intact, a set of black antique Chinese dressers, and lots of cool vintage hats.  I wish I had taken pictures but my phone decided to not play friendly and I forgot my camera thanks to accidentally sleeping in over 30min lol. 

Here are the few pictures I was able to take and two extra that I felt like including.  I will be at The Rose Bowl Flea Market this coming Sunday with some very very cool stuff.  I will post a picture or two before the weekend of what I will be bringing.

I'm slowly but surely working on my chalk skills!

So many books and not a minute to sit and read them lol I'm glad most of these found a good home on Sunday.

I've had this awesome phonograph player for awhile but decided he needed a good home.  I also magically stumbled across a large collection of 1930s Victor Classical records the day before and sold them all in less than an hour.  I got to play one on the player at least and the sound was awesome and the records were in mint condition too!

Every time I'm in LA, I stop by my favorite Danish bakery in the world called The Hygge Bakery.  It's on Hope Street just a block down from FIDM.  Everything I've had there is amazing and they are beyond friendly.  I took a bite of my Napoleon Hat before I could snap a picture but oh dear lord, it was so worth it. 

I found this little Dakin original at a yard sale and just had to have it!  Named him Kaiju and he has been bringing me luck ever since I picked him out of that dusty box I found him in.  My other cats seem to find him threatening but I'm sure they'll come around haha
