Weekend flea market therapy is a must after a long week. On this particular Saturday morning, the sun was high in the sky, and so were the spirits among fellow treasure hunters. Now that spring has sprung and the weather is warming, the number of venders has increased three fold. More venders means more possible treasures to find. Heres some of my favorites of the day:
I love oil paintings. The elevated brush strokes speak to me. These paintings came from a vender that sells treasures from unclaimed storage units. The seller said his daily life is just like the show Storage Wars. That would be fun.
I tend to gravitate toward treasures that have patina, rust, or dirt. To be more precise, I gravitate toward items that have a story to tell. I’m no stranger to admiring one vender’s items for some time to find the perfect piece with an interesting history. This vender had some really interesting treasures from decades across the board. Unfortunately, the seller was in an unbreakable conversation with a fellow hunter. However, I didn’t dare leave without quickly asking if she’d be back next week. Yes was her answer so yes, I will ask her for the stories in due time. Until then, enjoy these:
