The flea
Last Sunday was my first trip to the Alameda Flea Market. My mom, dad, grandma, and I all piled into the car in the early morning (it was worth it getting up early). It was wonderfully huge and open; perfect for pictures! Here's what we did and what we saw...

Funny story about these tights... I had in mind to wear purple tights with this dress and I didn't realize I was wearing blue tights the entire morning until I was in the car going home. At least the blue tights still matched!

PS. I've always wondered how flea markets got their name. I still don't know ha.

That looks FUN! I keep saying I'll go to the flea market. Some people go every week and eat turkey legs! I do like looking at everyone's junk. Thanks for the pretty images!

Haha, with the tight dilemma; that's what you get for waking up so early and getting dressed while half asleep. But they worked with the dress so it's ok (:

It should be called 'flee' because they're almost always gone too quickly
