Treasures

I have a new lovely place to go to every first Sunday of the month.
For ages, I have been wanting to check this place out... Finally yesterday, we [Mum, Auntie, Ate Kat, & grandma] went there. It is called the Alameda Antique Show.

It was huge, row after row of treasures.
Speaking of which, here are my finds:

All leather shoulder bag. Made in Greece. Heart the color of the leather and the buckles. And the perfect size =)

This was placed on the ground, on top of a leather satchel. It must have been my fate to find this shoulder bag, because my eyes spotted it right away amidst of all the goodies/crap surrounding it.

Such a find! Really like this one =))) Heart the color and the dainty detail. All leather body and made in Italy.

I heart my Mum for haggling for me =) She amazed me.

I'd like to know more about buying vintage things. You're the expert, any tips?

Vintage

I sort of went on a shopping spree the other day, while getting my car fixed.

When I shop at a thrift shop, I tend to look for 'vintage' stuff.

I found these 2 cardigans - navy blue and forest green. And a scoop neck charcoal tee (not pictured).

I heart the navy blue cardigan. It's not fitted and a bit loose.

And the pearl-like buttons add a nice touch. It makes it a bit dainty and feminine.

As for the forest green cardigan, I got it mainly because of its color. It is one of my fave colors.

Not to mention it's 100% wool and made in Scotland.

And the fit is perfect.

The weather in SF does not permit me yet to wear these cardigans but come winter, and woohoo!

Can't wait!
