Today was the Rose Bowl Flea Market and ladies all I can say is that it was fantastic and I could've spent some SERIOUS money there if I didn't have to worry about getting it home
I didn't take many photos as I have to be honest I was completely overwhelmed and searching out stalls to look closer up but here are some
I really wanted this oven
And this is what I came home with
We didn't search the whole of the market due to time and the desire to buy everything insight!
I've brought myself a pair of Ugg boots (ok, ok I've brought myself 2 pairs!!)... they're the same price in $ as they are in £'s at home... what a bargain!
My friend & I have also been making our hotel room feel like home, she collects Barbie so we've been displaying them on the tv cabinet (the Hello Kitty basket is mine!)
I love buying magazines when I visit the US and have a huge pile by my bed to wade through. I was very pleased to have been able to get a copy of Matthew Mead's Halloween and Romantic Country featuring Rachel Ashwells home
Before I say goodnight I just wanted to thank everyone for their kind messages whilst I'm on my hols, I'm scrolling through google reader when I have a chance but don't have the time to comment as much or reply to your emails but I will have a proper catch up on my return!

Aah now I envie you even more! Love that you bought an Eifel tower bottle over there! Oooh and those Ugs, they are even more comfy at that price I guess. Love all the children's books and of course the magazines. Have a great time over there!
