You are not alone! I haven’t been to the flea market in maybe 10 years because it always left me feeling exhausted and kicking the dirt. Everything is just too expensive for my liking. That jumpsuit on the other hand is a winner.

I definitely think that the Long Beach flea is more manageable. There are lots of little ones around…like the Santa Monica one you mentioned…so that’s a nice change up.

I’m ambivalent about the Rose Bowl market. I feel like some vendors treat your psychology like a retail outlet store does. You know, you had to make the trip all the way there, including the miserable parking and crowds, so you’re committed to coming away with something. Then they don’t have to give you an actual good deal.

That said, the guy with the Ohio River Valley pottery is so knowledgeable. And the married couple who sell lithographs couldn’t be sweeter. Really, some of my favorite pieces at my place are from Rose Bowl. So, like I said, conflicted.

One market that is more laid-back and not as far away as Long Beach is the Santa Monica Airport Market. It’s only antiques, and I guess some of them are expensive, but not all of them. Maybe it’s the beach, but people are nice there.

Flea markets can be so frustrating, I agree. They’re really hit and miss. Some weeks I want more than I can afford, other times I leave with my money still in my pocket.

Love that ring!
