Yesterday I went to the Alameda flea market, in hopes of searching for treasures in the fabulous weather.
I spent my day looking through pieces from an era when items were made in America.
I supported a small business owned by a French man who came to America to live his dream.
And I bought some American treasures to treasure for myself.
{Baseball Encyclopedia, Post office box, Vintage Ash trays to place in my backyard for guests, and a faux fur stole inspired by Cheetah is the New black}
All while not knowing how the day would end and what the news would bring us later yesterday night -- but feeling all the more proud to do my part in supporting the country I love, and doing so in the way i feel most comfortable.
