Last Sunday, I spent the morning strolling through the local vintage marketplace. It was a glorious day; and, I actually got there before the crowds. This particular event, the Topanga Vintage Marketplace, is held monthly. Begun only last spring, it has quickly become a popular venue. And at just $2 admission with free parking, you can't beat it.
This marketplace had everything--including the kitchen sink!

Many vintage items caught my eye that day, including these lovely objects:
 |
| Vintage sifter & grater (which I totally scooped up!) |
 |
| Rusty metal bucket |
 |
| Antique Ironing Board |
 |
| Toddler seat planter?! |
 |
| Vintage office rubber alphabet stamp sets |
 |
| Antique Student Desk & Chair |
 |
| Adorable planter box & window |
In addition to the vintage sifter, I brought home these lovely treasures:
I'm hosting Mah Jongg next week, so these rule books, circa 1958, and the vintage Bakelite tiles are going to be a big hit with my group.
Following my shopping trip, I stopped by the local nursery to check out some new spring flowers. These African daisies immediately caught my eye, and I knew exactly where I was going to plant them:
With a little potting soil and some Spanish moss, I now have a beautiful new old centerpiece for our patio table.
Now what to do with the fabulous vintage blue Mason jars?
Stay tuned!
