IVC Flea Market

The first Sunday of every month there is a flea market at Irvine Valley College.

I don't know what I expected but it was nothing near this.



There is just eye candy everywhere and it's overflowing with cute displays. I think of it as walking through an antique shop.



Prices vary from inexpensive to very expensive. These people know the value of what they have.

I love how they covered their books in material. It's not functional but it's very pretty.



This shop had the most interesting artifacts. It was like wandering through a museum.



This place could give me some major trouble. The lavender hue of these bottles are so pretty. This is the $3 table but he also had a $5 and $10 table and other various glass bottles ranging from clear to pale blue to black. He had glass dating back to 1850 and his prices were incredible.

Then I remembered that I really don't have space for a bunch of pretty bottles.



Don't you love that mantle?



Another pretty piece, I like the circles around the edge and I think it would look good like this or painted any color. I almost bought it for $20 and B reminded me that, with the exception of our bedroom, most of our stuff has a more danish mid-century feel than it does cottage vintage.

I'm going to have to do a better job of intermixing the two... as soon as I figure out how to do that.



This place was so much fun! Stuff! On the other side were tons of little things with letters on them as well as random game pieces. I could just see all the crafts in my head.

If only I did crafts :) I know some of you could do a whole display around keys, or buttons, or empty wooden spools or blocks with letters on them.



Although this isn't my style, I thought the display was so cute and creative.



I really wanted this typewriter. It was $50 and in absolutely perfect condition. I love the green keys and it comes with the original manual.



What is this? Is it what stores would use to sell spools?

I really have no idea but I like it.



This whole shop was packed with people but I had to try and sneak a peak of her displays. Gorgeousness everywhere. She just so happens to have a website and shop called My Sparrow, she not surprisingly is an interior designer and she has a blog. Check her out for some inspiration!

How was your holiday weekend?
