Sunday in the City.
As is my usual practice, the first Sunday of the month, I found myself at the Alameda Flea Market. Five hours later, and few dollars less flush, I came away with some fun finds. A wonderful wee globe, a beautiful old gray bauer bowl, and some perfectly sized end tables for my balcony, not to mention, some fun photos. I felt that familiar rush I get from a great day at my favorite flea market. Here’s a peek at my day at Alameda. Oh, and I have some family business to take care of the rest of the day, so i’ll see you back here on tuesday.
heaven knows.
Good to the last drop.

When U feels alone.
great sunday photos! and congrats on the mention in Rob Walker’s article on the popularity of the “Keep Calm and Carry On” posters!
Wonderful photos!
muy bonita.
Wow….great finds, Victoria! I love your photography, too. I wanted to let you know that I received my first issue of Better Homes I DIY magazine and saw your interview. Your home is beautiful and I enjoyed learning more about you. :) My 20 year old daughter fell in love with your bedroom. Have a great week!
Very nice images. I’m glad I’ve found you at this point… just wish it had been earlier! Anxious to see your posts!
Ohh, I always wanted to make it to the Alameda Flea Market when I lived in the Bay Area. I’ll have to sneak it in the next time I visit family in the area. Congrats on a successful flea market trip!
Beautiful photographs! I adore the gorgeous colour story that flows through them all.
very nice shots! i was there sunday as well. despite the fog came away with a hideous sunburn. i recall that stag head, and was standing nearby when the guy that bought it dropped i nearly on his foot. mounted animal attacks man!
can’t wait til next month.
i love your Sunday in the City posts! i’ll be heading to SF tomorrow so I recently looked over your city posts to see where to vist! :)
Lovely pictures. Cheers from Paris !!
thanks so much everyone!
angela – if you click on ‘categories’ on the left and then ‘if you’re going to san francisco’ there’s a whole bunch of posts listed there about places to visit in the city. have a great trip!
Victoria,
So while you were at Alameda, the rest of us slow-poke homebodies were reading about YOU in the NY Times. As soon as I saw the poster I thoiught, ‘This is Victoria’s Keep Calm…” Wow! That really is getting mentioned in high circles. Congrats on a continually amazing blog. Love you photos especially on Sundays!
Your fan, Joan
joan – oh, thank you! that is so nice of you. it was nice to be featured, and i was so flattered. i hope that readers will be able to find the article, since it didn’t mention sfgirlbybay by name. but i do appreciate the mention of my ‘real’ name, and the posters.

You have to be signed up with the NYTimes to access the story. But you will recognize the art immediately.
