I promised a friend I’d post pictures of my best finds at the Rose Bowl Flea Market a couple weeks ago, so here goes.

Above, vintage chenille grasshoppers.

Below is Sneezy, part of my ugly (according to my mother) but lovable (according to me) collection of carnival chalk. Sneezy was marked $45; I got him for $10:

Here is a tole candleholder:

A girl head. No idea what it’s from or what it’s for, but it was $5:

And finally, a pin in my favorite color combo (pink and blue, always  makes me think of the Joe Jackson song “Stepping Out”):

  1. Ok you gotta spill…why does pink and blue make you think of that song? (was one of your kids conceived to it?). :p

  2. I’m stumped too!

  3. Because part of the lyric is “You are dressed in pink and blue just like a child.”
