A day at the Flea Market

This will be my second time going to the Rose Bowl Flea market and can I just tell you I never buy anything because there is always so much to take in ): But I assure you the next time I go I am going to go crazy and buy to fill the void.

Every month they will have this Flea Market around the Rose Bowl and it is really cool. There are a lot of people who come all the way to the Second of every month. I even saw the Antique Archaeology truck there that day but it was not the guys on the American Pickers show. Oddly they were girls I guess there is more than one group of people working for that store.
 Tips from a second timer:
+Wear sunblock or bring an Umbrella
+Wear something light like a dress so you can try on shorts
+Bring a bag or a cart

Trust me these are valuable tips for any one looking to go to a flea market in the heat.
 It was so cold in the morning so I wore jeans and guess what? That was the biggest mistake in the world. It turned out to be 95 degrees during the whole ordeal and there are no trees to block out the sun. I was pretty much dying trying to find wonderful things.

You will probably see the coolest and the weirdest things here. Everyone is selling everything to make a buck or more. At the end your hands might feel a bit grimy because you are touching things that are old and rusty.
LOOK I found my Halloween costume! Smurfette! I am going to Katy Perry up this Smurf. This is an example of what you will find that is odd. They are all mascot kind of costumes. I will definitely come back all the time because I love going through and seeing all these weird items they sell. People are really crafty.
