I'm taking a break from my regular 'Friday Favorites' to show you some photos from last weekend at Treasure Island Flea. I guess I could still say that this is a 'Friday Favorite'.

I began to go through my things, especially clothing and accessories, and get rid of all the junk in my life that just stresses me out and ... continue reading...
