Alameda Flea Market Finds

Today was THE day to hit the Alameda Flea Market... I made a plan with my friend Ali and then asked if any of the crafters from California Crafters Club of Etsy would be out there... it turned out that we met up with 4 fellow etsians! We had a quick bite at the Indian Food booth and shared what we had found so far and headed back out into the SEA of vendors... I had no idea what I had instore for me when I arrived... I am seriously ADDICTED to rusty stuff. One of the vendors was actually cracking up at me because I was so elated... and then he got busy digging through his rusty ol' keys with me! We even found an old button upper lacey thingy for vintage women's boots... i HAD to have that too! oh, and yes... he did try to tease me about my use of "thingy"... here are some not so rusty things that i also fell in love with:

little drawer pulls
for my funky
little cabinet (which i scored on FreeCycle)
not a bad little cabinet for $15, huh?

Here's the rest of the haul everything from naked ladies to watch crystals... oh and there are the keys and the lacing button upper hooked thingy!Time to get gluin' people!
