Rose Bowl Flea Market



I have always wanted to go to the Rose Bowl Flea Market and finally got a chance to this weekend ~ The only bummer part was that I didn't realize it is Sunday only and my flight back home left Sunday afternoon ~ sooooo I only had about 3 hours there which is very much not enough time because it is HUGE ~
It was alot of fun to see the difference in it and the Canton Texas Flea market that I go to ~
I was thrilled to see alot of Shabby Cottage Chic since that is my favorite ~ I zoomed through there as fast as I could but was dying to go up and down every aisle and take in every space full of treasures ~



I loved all of the whites, pinks and greens ~


There were tons of chandeliers and I really wanted
to take them home but not sure they would be an airline "carry-on" ~


This frame was gorgeous !!!


Well there is always next month and I won't be scheduling a flight home on Sunday ~~

Hi Lori,
Glad you got to check it out. Too bad you didn't have more time. It does take a whole day to go through it though. We are planning on going next month. Is it bigger than Canton?

This is one place I've always wanted to go to as well. Saw lots of cool things. Makes you want to be a power shopper, which I'm usually pretty good at!!

I haven't been there in so long. You may have had only a few hours, but now you will have to come back:)

Oh, no !! 3 hours isn't possibly enough time !! You will have to come back. Hopefully you were able to pick up a few things. I heard it was hotter than blazes though.. I'm hoping to go next month.

Looks like there was more shabby chic than at First Monday....... I bet that was painful not be able to take your time and touch everything..
