treasure island flea re-cap


golden gate, originally uploaded by sproutgirl74 / jenifer lake.

thanks for coming out to see me at the treasure island flea! a good number of vintage goodies went to live in new homes. next up, i think i'm going to try the alameda flea -- i'll keep you posted!

this is from saturday evening, the sun setting over the golden gate bridge. (we camped saturday eve there on the island, it was fantastic!)

sun sets on treasure island.

we got to camp out after the first night of the treasure island flea. it was a beautiful evening. so fun & such an amazing view.

my own treasure from treasure island

bought a sweet little vintage bird before day two of the treasure island flea.

rufus love.

i had the opportunity to go see rufus wainwright at the henry miller memorial library last weekend. he was AH-mazing. picture that beautifully voiced man, in purple cravat, plaid long sleeved shirt, multi-colored crocheted vest, bright electric blue pants, singing & playing under the redwoods & stars to an intimate crowd of maybe 100. SO good. i clearly have a soft sweet spot for gay men who play the piano & sing their hearts out (see, my love for antony brings me to *tears* you guys).

this video is a nice example of what i saw; he was funny, sweet & clearly jovial/giddy because he was on his honeymoon with his "bunny" - i fell a little bit more for him. so darling. (& don't you love those pants he's wearing in this video?!) his voice is just enthralling to me.

if you get the chance to see him; DO. you won't regret it.
