Hi everyone! I had the happy surprise last weekend to host my brother, Dalton and his wife, Penny and son Miles who live in Tahoe City. I hadn't seen them for a long time, so it was a fun reunion. My brother, like myself, is a collector and loves flea markets. All three of them were very in to going to Alameda Antique Fair, so after lox & bagles and black coffee off we went. The flea market was bigger than ever and stretched for miles. We were there for hours and saw so many interesting things. It was like walking through a history museum of clothes, furniture, toys, etc. My favorite items were reconstructed benches and other furniture from old trunks, boxes and flower sacks. They were beautiful and their creator was doing a brisk business. I also liked his off beat lamps that were a cross between science project and art. I definitely want one. Well, enjoy the fair! Toni
