My mission for last Sunday called for driving out to Denio’s swap meet in hope of discovering some sort of well-loved furniture piece for my all-too empty house; I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted, but it was a good excuse to get outside for a bit. Once I’d arrived and parked, I soon found myself wandering aimlessly among the […]
On this visit out to Denio’s swap meet in mid August, I didn’t shoot as many photos as I normally do, and I didn’t buy anything. But it did feel good to get out of the house and spend an hour or so wandering the property, checking out the wide range of colorful and sometimes strange items offered up.
I seriously can’t believe it’s already been six months since I was out at Denio’s, wandering among the often crazy collections of miscellaneous used items. When I was there last in April, I brought home a small photo album that was like a treasure from 1966. But these photos are not from that visit; these are images I shot back […]
It’s been awhile since I did a Memory Monday post, mostly because I haven’t felt greatly inspired. But today I’m excited about it, because I went out to Denio’s on Sunday afternoon and found a wonderful little photo album that I just had to bring home. I don’t know who the people in the photos are, but as soon as […]
I came across this small display of historic conveyances during my outing to Denio’s in Roseville last month. I’m always a sucker for old buggies and wagons whenever and wherever I find them.
Here are some more colorful items I found as I wandered around at Denio’s flea market in Roseville. Even the bits and pieces I can’t identify are still fascinating! I wish I had managed a better shot of the lovely drawing above. It looks to me like a captain sitting by the wheel of his boat and smoking a long-stem […]
I’m setting the Korean photo albums aside this week to share a look at a very different group of images. These are all black and white portraits, both formal and informal, that I’ve discovered while browsing the open-air flea market at Denio’s in Roseville over the past few years. A handful of these — like the well-dressed couple above — […]
It’s hard to believe, but it’s been eight months since I last made the drive out to Denio’s in Roseville! There were many, many weekends when I thought of going but never quite made it. Things can change a lot in that period of time, as vendors relocate to a different section of the grid, or perhaps even disappear completely. […]
Here are more of my sightings from a recent Saturday at Denio’s Market in Roseville. It’s probably a good thing that I don’t live in a bigger house; I would be more seriously tempted to buy all the wonderful things on sale!
