I enjoyed looking around, but found most of it to be clothing. I like vintage clothing, but working for a clothing designer it is one thing I do not need more of!!
I ended up spending most of my time at a booth offering vintage paper goods, mostly postcards. I rifled for hours through the vendors boxes of French, Italian, German, and Spanish postcards (The vendor offered me a chair numerous times because I was there so long!). First of all, I had never seen this many non-American postcards. Secondly, I had never seen so many postcards that had never been written on and sent. I ended up taking 125 home with me that I plan on using as actual stationary and sending through the mail.
Soon, I will place some up in my shop as well for sale so I can share the find with others!
I can't wait to go to that flea market. I plan on going in June, when I go to the make-up show: http://www.imatsshow.com/london/london_index.php
ReplyDeleteI was told there is a great vintage furniture section at the flea market. Did you see it?
Ooohhh...the makeup show looks like fun! You know what? There probably was a lot of vintage furniture there, but I really didn't make it that far. I stopped at the booth with the postcards and only walked a few more rows that that. I heard there were craft vendors around one part of the bowl, but I didn't make it there either :( I think I should've done a walk through before I stopped anywhere. That probably would've been the best idea. Guess I'll have to go back...
ReplyDeleteHa ha! I am the same way, once I'm drawn to something I'm stuck.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to know that there is more than just cheap clothes. Thanks. I will check it out.
