I bought that cute little chippy green chair. (It's child size) I think I will use it for a plant stand this summer. Then maybe in the fall, I will set a pumpkin on it.
I got a cute book about birds from 1942. The illustrations are fabulous, and it was only $4.00.I also bought a beautiful red and yellow toile table cloth.
I got to visit with Jennifer Grey. You might know her from the old painted cottage.
On the way back down the coast, we saw some dolphin frolicking in the waves.
This was a good start to the long weekend.
Next Sunday it is off to Ventura for another flea market, YAY!!!
I hope you are all having a fun holiday weekend!!

I love it all! I think if I went to that flea market, I'd be broke within the hour...the bird book looks fabulous and the toile tablecloth sounds stunning! Glad you're having such a wonderful weekend!
Oh what fun! I wanted to go thrifting today and I finally got a little in late... But what fun you must have had - I just want everything in all your pictures!
What a wonderful day! Oh what fun, and it looks like it was a great flea market. We don't really have flea markets here in Minnesota the way they do in California. I wish they did. We have "occassional sales" that are a bit different - a shop will be open only for a certain period of time each month, and the entire stock of antiques is different each time. Kind of like a flea market, but a bit different. I really like the chair you got and the book. I can just see that chair with a plant or a pumpkin on it - so cute!!

I love the Birds at Home book. Please show us some pictures from inside some time! Great flea market finds!
hello darling girl- oh take me with you next time , everything looks so good.... love jo.... im thinking of a apricot satin skirt and a raspberry top.
Love your photos!
WISH I could have been there - those floral paintings look fab.
Awesome dress form! It's so hard to find a vintage one at a decent price, isn't it? I don't have one and I think I may give up and get a new one and tweek it a bit. Saw that on Present Past (Heather)'s blog. Anyhoo....Thank you so much for visiting my blog and for your sweet comments!
Hi Rosemary,
Gosh, seeing my name on your blog post made me feel kinda famous ((blushing)). I enjoyed seeing you too at the flea market in Carpinteria. I took photos as well and will have to post them soon on my blog. See you at the Ventura Flea Market!

Oh, had I known you were going I might have come. I thought about it, but it's kind of far for us.
The gal I met from PUNCH is so nice, I think she organized this, right? I bet it was really fun.
SOrry I missed it, and YOU!

I would love to go to that flea market, just because of the name! But the photos look great, too.
