Flea ...flee fly ...flee fly flu... I love the the flea market :)
I decided to ask my "minimalist mom" and my gadget loving dad to go with me, and to my surprise they even agreed to go for the 6am opening. Ahhh parents, and their never ending sacrifices to make their children happy.
These are my Mother's Day Flea Market finds...
I think I'm seeing pink elephants... is that a bad sign?!
Pet Pals, made in Japan Pink elephant pin cushion.
Now for my barware item.
Cool Father's day gift, don't ya think?
Now, the next find, even made my dad drool a bit.
Not to mention, it brought back memories of how my "minimalist mom" made him sell his old typewriters and his mod eight track Weltron stereo at a garage sale. My poor "minimalist mom", probably some 20years later is still having to hear about it.
Just in case, this is the stereo I'm talking about. And no this isn't what I found... but it's definitely on my treasure hunting list.

Well here it is... Not sure why, but I'm a sucker for vintage typewriters and the green keys on this one made me melt.
Smith-Corona Mechanical Typewriter beauty.
And the perfect find to end my Mother's Day flea marketing...
A "minimalist mom" approved item- beautiful ceramic unmarked figurine of mother and child.
Hope all mom's had a great Mother's Day!
