A wedding brought me to the San Diego area and I decided to extend the trip into a vacation! It was a great idea~ especially when I found the Driving Miz Daisy Vintage Market! Woo hoo! I did not know what to expect but perusing the first row, I knew I was in vintage heaven!
My beau is always driving me around on treasure hunts and he calls it Driving Ms. Karen, so the name of this vintage market was particularly apropos and amusing.
The market was larger than anticipated and after a while, sadly, I had to hurry my behind because said beau was getting impatient! But I managed to load up with enough vintage treasures to satisfy my vintage soul!
It turns out I found an old Larkin Company vintage powder box which was super cool because the Larkin Company is literally in my backyard. The vendor did not appreciate that I was from Buffalo! lol That's ok by me!
I discovered an amazing locket, some cufflinks, religious medals, beautiful vintage lace and this gorgeous Art Nouveau buckle which I repurposed into this lovely necklace.
And there was the bunch of circa 1940's charms including this fabulous Walter Lampl sterling church charm with Stanhope lens Lord's Prayer! Great find!
You can find these and other vintage treasures in my Etsy shop! Please stop by for a visit real soon!

PS... Another highlight of the market was the amazing and delicious handcrafted burger I had for lunch at the CUT food truck. It had bacon relish..... mmm. I want another, too bad I live 3000 miles away.
