Today I went to the
Alemany flea market and had a great time! Or maybe I should call it the
Ferragamo flea market. I must have seen about 30 pairs of vintage
Ferragamos. The bin below had about 5 pairs (including that tan pair you see there with the classic
Ferragamo logo shimmering inside). Unfortunately, my two favorites didn't have their mate. But there were plenty more to go around, and I got a few others. I used to think finding a great pair of
Ferragamos was a rarity, but here in San Francisco, they seem to be everywhere.
Lots of vintage clothes today. The seashell pink silk jacket above is so cute and has little bows stitched on it. I've looked at this many times and it's always still here week after week. It has a few unfortunate stains on it so I have a feeling it might live on the rack for while.
More fun vintage shoes. The red wedge
espadrilles are so cute, but one sole was coming off. And the little cream suede lace-ups on the top rack there are
Ferragamos too. This vendor wanted a pretty penny for them, so I had to pass.
I did get a handful of really great bags, including the three above, which I'll list this week in my
etsy shop. The
foldover kisslock clutch is in great condition and so cute, the
inital bag was calling my name (my
initals are L M, which is the inverse of how it's printed, but that's okay, I still couldn't pass it up), and the woven basket bag was really cute too.
Above are some clothes from Ms. Ellie's space. She always has the best clothes. Her clothes are always in great condition and you really don't even have to pick through them to find great stuff. She had a really pretty 50s
floral party dress beside her that I asked about. I wondered if maybe she was holding it for someone. She said it had a spot on it and she was going to take it home to have it dry cleaned to see if it would come out. She showed me the spot and I could hardly see it. I know she takes good care of these clothes. I bought the dress below from her and I love it! It fits me, but I bought it for
my etsy shop, which is where it is now. (Update--it already sold! I guess I won't be keeping it for sure!)
Here I am trying it on and looking over at Andrew who said, "hey, you should keep that one!"
Now I have to rest. The flea market was so fun, but I'm tired!

love that blue dot dress!! it's really great!
found you through a friend of a friend of a friend—via the game of tag going around. :)
lovely blog.
This looks like SO much fun!!! We have some pretty amazing thrift stores out here in the sticks but big flea markets are rare. This blue dress is gorgeous, you have more will power than I do--I could never give it up!
you HAVE to keep that one
I can't believe you sold that dress when it is so perfect on you. You should definitely be your own model for your vintage shop! Are you going to the flea market with Andrew or by yourself?
