Trading Post

Kristin and I had been talking about going to the Melrose Trading Post since she moved here last October. The Melrose Trading Post is an antiques and collectibles market held every weekend in Hollywood. Personally I would say 50% of it was junk.

Me with my sidekick Alex. So glad June gloom was in effect because it gets hot carrying him around in the Bjorn.
The only thing I really enjoyed looking at was the furniture.
This is where I question the word collectibles. Pieces of a dolls body?

My favorite trees in LA which I just learned are Jacarandas.
The most interesting thing I saw was piles of old pictures and there were tons of people rummaging through them. I'm not really sure why you would want random pictures of people you don't know, but apparently there is a use for them in Hollywood.
The best part of the market was this....never ever would I get a massage here.
The 3 of us.
Afterwards we got ice cream at the famous Mashti Malones. They are known for their Rosewater ice cream which we sampled, but quickly declined since it really tasted like a Rose.
You can buy the Rosewater ice cream at Whole Foods along the West Coast...I might give it a try again someday.
