summertime

"summertime,

And the livin' is easy

Fish are jumpin'

And the cotton is high.

Your daddy's rich

And your mamma's good lookin'

So hush little baby,

Don't you cry

One of these mornin’s

You're going to rise up singing

Then you'll spread your wings

And you'll take to the sky.

But till that morning

There's a'nothing can harm you

With daddy and mamma standing by"

Last Sunday, 
when Los Angels people were avoiding the 405 freeway,
  I went to the Long Beach flea market, 
accompanied by three interior designers.

The sun came out with her sister (ha ha ha) as if trying to shop with us; it was hot!

One of the interior designers Adriana, 
who specializes in furniture and architecture history, was the eye opener of the day. 
 She teaches the history of architect and furniture at the Fullerton college.  
Those lucky enough to take her class enjoy concise, 
direct lectures and take away fascinating sidebar information.
 And the other two, just like me, enthusiastic designers who want to shop to get a great deal.

Any way, we shopped, jewelry,  books,  pictures, and lots of accessories. We saw incredible architectural pieces, bottles and boxes, dolls and old letters, old linens, vintage photos, old furniture, - it was all there to be discovered!

Here are pictures

 

 

Oh ...We had so much fun searching for treasure together!

Wishing you peace and joy!
