Blog is back in action. Hope you are all still with me or will shortly join again. I plan to highlight some of the Holiday spirit, but first wanted to recap my cool day in Alameda. Actually I have spent most of the last 48 hours in Alameda. Last night we went to the Lucky Ju Ju Pinball. It was $10 for unlimited pinball. You don't know how much you love pinball until you play it for 3 hours straight. Then top it off with grilled cheese at Nations and it makes for a fun night.
Anyways, today we went to the Antique Flea Market in Alameda. We had a list or things we were looking for and had a decent amount of success. The best find was this beautiful china cabinet. It was ridiculously cheap and the seller delivered it for $15 (although he wouldn't haul it up the 35 stairs (thank you Kevin)). It was dated from the 40's, but had been refinished with a coat of paint. We also found a large copper tin to put our firewood in and my favorite, a punch bowl (it's on the bottom shelf in the cabinet). It came with 20 cups! There were 100's of stalls and acres of antique furnishings, clothes, jewelry, art work and everything else you can imagine. Just wear your walking shoes, lots of sunscreen and be ready to bargain.

thanks again to kevin. we'd have a really nice cabinet sitting on the curb if it wasn't for his willingness to share my back pain.
