During a recent visit to Southern California, my brother and I made the drive from San Diego to Long Beach to check out the Flea. I have made a number of visits to the Alameda and Rose Bowl flea markets; this was my first to Long Beach.
The weather was beautiful, the vendors had much to offer, and I discovered a bounty of JoeysCoat treasures to bring home to Dana for inspiration.
One vendor in particular I would like to mention is Patty Yuele of Bumblebee Vintage. I was immediately drawn to her booth, mesmerized by the brilliant spectrum of colors from her Bakelite and Celluloid button, buckle and jewelry display…her collection is remarkable.
Dana is fast at work creating one-of-a-kind JoeysCoat art with the treasures I found.
Thank you to all the wonderful Long Beach collectors I met…
