Since when does one find fleas at a market?

No, seriously. I mean I even looked up the origin, and everything says something along the lines of
"... while the origin is disputed ..." so I'm guessing no one really knows. Anyway, one of my Memorial Day adventures was taking a visit to the Randolph St. Market! Totally fun except for the unpredicted thunderstorm... oh well, what fun is a perfectly-beautiful and cloudless day, right?

Here are a few of my top pickings of the things I saw before the rain came:

Funky, semi-modern/retro hanging lights


 (sorry I couldn't seem to rotate this!)

Vintage Dior perfume bottles

Vintage trunk that looks as if it's traveled all over ... possible stackable component for a side table? 




I was tempted to get a few for jewelry components





Beautiful chest... the seller said this took him about 3 months to make (finding all of the pieces must have been quite the hunt!) 



Look familiar? We found our salvage man again! 


Meet Duke! (aka the largest standard poodle I've ever seen) 



My new stool obsession - screw tops! 




Toodles!

Oh wait, that's me! Please pardon my awk pose/blink... it was extremely bright. 
Do you like my sunshine-radiating yellow file folder?!



What's for lunch?

Seasoned potato lattice over a roasted portobello mushroom topped with chopped zucchini and sprinkled with toasted feta...
