This is what I saw on my way home tonight from the grocery store. It's a beautifully eerie, spooky kind of view, but had anyone else been there they would have felt the warmth of it. Hard to explain.
Today we spent most of the earlier part of the day at the Melrose & Fairfax Flea Market (or whatever it's called) and it is the MOST OVERPRICED FLEA MARKET I've ever been to. Seriously. There was very used clothing selling for the same price you would probably find it in a store. Oh, and a Siouxie and the Banshees t-shirt with the sleeves cut off and a dingy shade of I-sweated-in-it-oh-so-much white that they were asking $25 for. To show what it sort of looked like when we first got there, here is a slightly depressing pic:
The rest was actually a lot more picturesque, but none the cheaper. We did, however, buy a few things but the best part was that they had an Argentine food stand... Woo-hoo! It made the whole experience so much better... and getting to spend time with the kids was the best part.
So we didn't go home with any bargains, only with artsy things we could have made at home if we had the time to search, rescue and restore, so paying $35 for a couple of 2'x3' frames was logically sound.
That was my day.
