Buy Local, Buy Vintage

Here is why. Where else is there this kind of selection where you can find a treasure like this (which I actually only photographed.) It was Easter, too rainy to go to the zoo as planned, and even the local Mall was closed. We headed to the Fremont/Seattle Flea Market and it was like a trip back in time! I found a delightful framed photograph from Firenze, Italy with real gold leaf - $8. World's Fair posters, an August Macke print, a great metal Chinese Checker set with real marbles (not plastic), postcard sets of Mississippi River Boats and Redwood Forest trees with one-cent postage, and best of all - an original date copy of "The Autobiography of Malcolm X," which I read when I was 13 years old!
