Toni's Vintage Trips: Vintage Holiday Shopping at Treasure Island

I visited my favorite Bay Area flea market yesterday at Treasure Island, which is just across the Bay from San Francisco. I wanted to see the reindeer that would be there, take some photos and do my after Black Friday shopping. I had a wonderful time. I met an amazing vintage clothing vendor, Jenn Kuvat of The Vintage Net and also saw friends who were selling out there. It was a beautiful day on the Island and there were a lot of vendors. I bought a 1970's suede brownish shirt from London and a beautiful pair of copper/gemstone hoop earrings made by Marisa Villa, who is also a friend from Berkeley. I strongly believe in supporting local artists, especially if they're friends and Marisa's earrings definitely had to be mine.

The 2 reindeer were very tame. They were allowed graham crackers and celery and the kids were feeding them. Such beautiful animals. I would only suggest that the enclosure be bigger. After seeing all the stalls, I went to the food truck area and had a homemade tamale and strawberry juice. What's great about their food area is that there are so many choices. They also have a bar there and live music. There could be a few more tables, but people are very nice about sharing.

Hope you all have a fun holiday. Enjoy my trip to Treasure Island. Cheers! Toni
