Now fast forward to Sunday morning. My husband and I arrive at the Ventura Flea Market at around 7:15 am. It is a beautiful day next to the Pacific Ocean. The Ventura Flea Market is located at the Ventura County Fair Grounds, which is right next to the ocean. Pretty nice!
Anyway, I picked up this really cute glass encased terrarium for $25.00. Now the fact that the tray and terrarium are pink is not a problem. I'm sure some of you would keep the pink, but I have the need to paint them RED!!! (I will show you the finished products later in the week)
I also picked up some really nice ephemera, at various booths. I didn't spend more than $6.00 on all of it.
So, needless to say it was a fun weekend of treasure hunting. My favorite kind of weekend!
Now, I am going to go do some serious painting.

Now that's MY kind of weekend!
Can't wait to see how you transform the pink terrarium thingy.
I hit the tail end of flea market on Sunday and found a few bargains myself.
Don't you love it?!
Oh I would just LOVE to spend the weekend thrifting!!!
Well, it looks like you found some goodies as well!! It was pure luck that I found the dress form. I never see them for sale. One of the vendors told me that she has had luck finding at country auctions.
Thanks for your sweet comments on my blog. I sincerely appreciate them.

Ohhhh Ventura.....I'm so envious! I would love to go there but a Sunday jaunt halfway across the country is a bit much for me.
Looks like you found some good stuff! I think red is a good idea, been partial to that myself lately. Can't wait to see how they turn out.
Very cute flea market finds! :) I haven't been to the Ventura one, I will have to check it out. I love the Long Beach Antique fair.
Thanks for the coments on my blog today. :)
These are great finds, love the tray, what color will you paint it?
Oh I would love to go to that market! The Rose Bowl would be a real dream, too.
I can hardly believe you don't like choc chip cookies! OK girl, that is weird! LOL

Thank you for visiting my blog!
You found some lovely treasures..... I'm a pink girl, so I'd have to leave that terrarium as is ~ but I'm sure it will look great red too ~ please share a pic of it when finished.
I love those postcards (birds) in the last photo!
:)
What a wonderful weekend! I love the fleamarkets, I have never been to Ventura, is it a good one??
I might have to make a weekend trip there, Ventura is such a nice town.
