Flea Market Finds!

Arriving at the Pasadena City College Flea Market - January 2013

I've been very busy with a new project lately. So busy, in fact, that I completely forgot about some photos I snapped while visiting the Pasadena City College Flea Market last month.

The Real Ghostbusters Slimer cartoon art cel!

Wind-up Knitting Cat!

You know, if I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times... it's really hard to find a good Wind-up Knitting Cat. Fortunately, this flea market has us covered.
