On our way home we headed to Escondido for lunch and passed Value Craft. A teacher at Stamping Details also teaches there and always talks about it, so we took a quick detour. Boy was it stuck in the past! We found price stickers from the early 90s on some of the items. But they had some great deals on lace and trim, so of course we had to have some.
Lunch was at a small Bistro in downtown Escondido, which was tres bonne. We split a desert that was a fabulous concoction of chocolate ganache, hazlenut, meringe and almonds. OMG, it was soooo delicious.
After lunch, heading back to the car, we passed a new antique store and popped in. It ended up as one of our favorite places of the day! Many wonderful vendors and I found a Paris crock and an aqua glass Eiffel Tower. I still need to take photos of those, so they will be on a later post. There are a number of little antique and thrift stores in downtown Escondido, and it was definitely worth the stop.
Thanks visitors from Pink Saturday for sharing my travels with me. It really was such a wonderful day!

I have been wanting to go to this forever! Beautiful pictures....Happy Pink Saturday!
Love fun days like that! Having lived in the N. beach area of San Diego and visiting Escondido often, I am trying to remember the town of Rainbow...Have to run down and ask hubby! We did a lot of great antique shopping in that area!
HPS!

Marti, hello..thank you for your visit to my blog.

Great photos, thank for letting us come along.

Thanks for dropping a comment in my Pink Sat entry Marti!
I super love that lace dress. :) Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend!
that is definitely my kind of perfect day. Sherry and I do that about once every 2-3 weeks and every single time we have a blast! Sometimes we are so anxious to get to the next junk or antique place we never stop for lunch. HPS
Hi Marti,
Oh my, I really NEED one of those old bikes. All of a sudden it is a compulsion. I have to have one for my front yard this year. How I'm going to find one and get it home will be a whole other story. But it's now on my "MUST HAVE" list. I love the blue one in your photo, but of course, mine would HAVE to be PINK.
HPS, xo Cathy
Oh Marti...I wish I would have run into you at Rita & Christie's market:) I took pictures too...wow
It was such a wonderful day!
I will be apart of smaller market very similar....in Riverside the first Saturday of May~~~I know Rita and a few vendors will be coming out to shop and visit that day.
Happy Pink Saturday!
Smiles,
Kay Ellen

Happy Pink Saturday, Marti! Oh, what a wonderful outing! I'm sure there was lots to oohh and aahh over. Thanks for sharing and for visiting me. Enjoy your weekend.

Hi, Marti, and thank you for visiting me at Bunny Cottage. I think for sure you folks out in California have some of the best flea markets and antique shops! Your day sounds perfect and the dessert, oh my, sounds heavenly. I did not create the journal on my post. I wish I could take credit for it, but it was created by a very talented lady, Maria, at Under the Night Moon on Etsy. It was so nice getting to know you, my friend! Blessings always~ Vicki
Wow! What a fun and wonderful day! I can see why you love this market. Great finds! Thanks for stopping by and saying hello - Happy Pink Saturday to you, Dru
My sister had a bike just like the one here. Wow, that that send me back in time.
I'm your newest follower.

It sounds like a wonderful day! I've lived in the same area for the last few years but have never heard of that market. I will definitely have to look it up. Thanks for your visit.
Oh, lucky girl. That marketplace looks fabulous and such great weather!
Thanks for your PS visit,
Susan
Oh, Marti, if I ever get out that way, this is first on my list! I love a day like that, filled with flea markets, creative stops and chocolate -- well, if you've been to Gypsy lately, you know about the chocolate part! Your photos are especially beautiful. Four star!
Sounds like a wonderful day Marti!
