FLEA MARKET

This past Saturday, I took a trip to the local flea market with my good friend Chloe and her mom. We didn't even make it to half of the booths, but I came home with some really good finds. I think I've found a new way to shop - can't wait to go back!

Rings! I love rings, and I got three really unique rings for $15.

My favorite purchase - a 1963 Kodak "Brownie Super 27" plastic camera for standard 127 film. It's in great condition and all that I have to do is buy some film and start shooting.

In addition, I found an original 1961 pressing of the "West Side Story" soundtrack on vinyl (for only $5). This was the perfect birthday gift for a new friend who is part of the cast of this play at school. Doubting that she owned a turntable, I thought, "maybe she can frame it..." Amazingly, I lucked out and found that she did, in fact, have a turntable in her room. We listened to the record, and the sound quality was great. I definitely consider this first trip to the flea market a success.
