A Trip to the Alameda Flea Market!

The Alameda Antiques Faire is the largest antique show in Northern California. Held on the 1st Sunday of every month, the Faire boasts over 800 dealer booths! All items are 20 years or older.  This is the ultimate place to shop for vintage and antique home decorations, clothing, furniture, jewelry, art, pottery, books & collectibles. Here is a very small selection of photos to give you an idea of the incredible variety of items! 


 This photo was suppose to showcase the wonderful view of San Francisco...
but instead, I came out with - well - this.

Apparently, you have to get there around 7AM to get the great furniture.


My new craft inspiration! I love this tin box decorated with old vintage jewelry :)


And they have plenty of vintage jewelry pieces to choose from!

 Every antique doorknob you could imagine.

 And it just keeps getting better...

 And better.


Here are a few of my favorite finds


An old perfume bottle with an intricate floral designed top. 
Maybe made out of some sort of bone or ivory? Or that could be wishful thinking!


This is an old set of salt and pepper shakers, but look how well it works as a stand 
for my handmade beaded bouquets!


And how could I leave without this sweet P stamped onto an old piece of wood?!
