I’ve had the greatest opportunity to meet the most fascinating and interesting people through Instagram.

Leah is always amazing me with her creativity in celebrating every day and every occasion. Her neighborhood is full of homes built between 1900 to 1920.

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I was going to take a drive up the coast to look for something special at a nearby Flea Market.
I found myself driving North to the Bernal Heights neighborhood in San Francisco to one of my favorite markets in the Bay area…
the Alemany Flea Market.

I figured if I’m going to be hitting a Flea Market it may as well be one full of the city sights and sounds.
