Celebs Are Heading To Paris Flea Market!

Yes, the word of mouth is a powerful thing! Stories of the goodies to be had and the fabulous prices at Paris Flea Market in Livermore, CA has caught fire and spread to Hollywood as evident by this quickly snapped photo!

This silver-haired fox and regular monthly shopper has GOT to be related to Kirk and Michael Douglas, don't you think?!?!? We sure did!

In any case, we believe all our customers to be celebrities in their own right! And the biggest superstar of all is none other than YOUR MOM! We hope you'll join us in celebrating mothers/sisters/aunts/BFF's and all the the important women in your life during our May opening (May 5, 6, 7 & 8th). Plans to let her know she's number one include makeovers, a vintage fashion show and many one-of-a-kind gifts!

Things That Make You Go " ! "

Qu'est-ce que c'est?!? Our April opening is this Thursday! What is all this?

If we could bottle the "en grande quantité" amount of talent and energy contained in all of our "Fleas" we could sell it and make millions. But instead we like to make our money the old-fashioned way; by gathering the beautiful elements we love, putting them on display and opening the door to our many customers. About this time of the month, the gathering part is done, and what we're left with is this:

Oodles of ornate-ness!


Boxes of bounty!


Piles of pleasure!


Wonderful wire waiting for walls!


Bags of beauty!


Dressers needing knobs and clocks ready to tick!


Chandeliers lighting a pathway to the ladder!


What a mess, but it's a beautiful mess, and that in itself is inspiration to our collective creative "eye"! By this time on Thursday, April 7th, this blank wall will be full of someones creative vision and maybe YOUR new-found treasure!


And don't forget to wear any Spring hat for a chance to be entered into our $50.00 shopping spree! Plus, if your hat has been handmade by you, there's another $50.00 shopping spree contest waiting to be won for the one voted to be the best by our staff!
