Yesterday morning I woke up a bit early and headed out to a local flea market. I had good intentions of taking some photos as I wound my way through the tables but it was a bit crowded and claustrophobic and started raining about halfway through so... no photos. It was one of those flea markets that is mostly junk and people selling socks and fake handbags. Sometimes they also have livestock auctions which I avoid like the plague. All the little lambs and calves bleating as they're being sold off for future slaughter just make me want to cry. But that's another story altogether.
Despite the junky nature of the place, I still managed to walk away with a couple of good finds. I was on the hunt for pieces to use in organizing my new office space and walked away with an old fruit crate and two metal storage bins for all of my post office supplies. I also bought about a pound of blueberries for just two bucks. Mmmmm. I'm having a bowl of blueberries and soymilk for breakfast in the morning.

Those pants are beautiful!
so cute
i love using non-convential things for storage and organization. it makes something that can get really mundane kind of exciting if it's stored in a cute imaginative box or crate.
What a fantstic combo, I love the top, it looks so summery.
love the cigarette pants, jennifer!
gah what a simple yet perfect outfit. i am dreaming of some perfect black pants like those. i'm always disappointed when flea markets are more people selling sunglasses and fake purses than vintage & nic knacks. at least you found a couple things
I really love those pants!

love the pants only you could pull them off though :)

Oh how I wish I had the figure for 50's cigarette pants! But alas I am stuck with wearing the wasp waisted full skirts, but I guess that isn't too bad of a trade off ;)

I hate it when that happens! Thrifting is always a hit or miss sort of game- sometimes you find the most precious jewels among mountains of junk and other you cannot turn around without finding a lovely piece. Feast or famine type of thing huh?
