October City Flea

this was past weekend was gooood. i hope yours was as well. but if not, you can just live vicariously thru mine, cool? i'll just stick with a quick priority moment of the weekend- saturday was the monthly City Flea! my favorite day of the whole damn month. working with the city flea team over this past summer has been a dream come true and for the october flea, i got to come as just a regular ol' visitor. i wanted to come and take pictures and search thru the goods and bring the puppy along, too. this was the best flea yet in my opinion, with some amazing new vendors and all of my familiar favorites. 

one of my favorite things about living in the city, and a small city at that, is that we all kind of come together for things like this and are all so proud of it. it's like a private cincinnati club that we're all invited to. so many different faces come out every month and it just keeps getting bigger and better- and more dog friendly i might add. (dogs. freaking. everywhere) the weather was absolutely perfect for an october day, almost like mother nature was letting us have just a few more beautiful days before she goes crazy this winter. i wore a light jacket and t shirt and was perfectly comfortable all day long and that never happens at the flea. let me explain. see, i always have to either by a thrifted sweater to help myself warm up or strip down to my wife beater underneath everything to try and cool down. for some reason i never dress correctly and i'm never comfortable all day long. but saturday? yeah, saturday was pure gold. my partner in crime maria came with me and as always, we had a blast. everyone needs that friend that you can take to any type of event or situation and god love maria, she's up for anything all the time. 

we ate korean bbq tacos and went thru racks and racks of gorgeous treasures. we brought bronson who ran around like a nut licking every other dog that walked by. he's hit puppy puberty so i really can't blame the guy. there was one girl that had a booth that literally looked like she had gone thru my apartment and was selling everything i owned. seriously, such similar style. and of course, i liked all of her stuff more than mine because i'm a girl and the grass is always greener and all that stuff. but i refrained from buying 8 serape blankets and 12 copper bowls and just took photos. but i gotta say, that chair you see up in that top photo? the one that i'm holding so proudly? i scored that baby for $10!! do you guys remember when i went to the House with all of the Vintage goodies ?  well he now has a booth at the city flea and had this amazing chair and i knew i had to leave with it. ironically, that t shirt i'm wearing up there was bought from him the day i went to his shop. so that felt kinda good, ya know? 
anyways, amazing day. amazing finds, perfect weather in a beautiful city. here's a few million pics of the day! enjoy your week!
