As much as I love living in a city and not having to own a car, I’ll admit I can feel trapped sometimes. It can be a huge hassle to figure out the logistics of going anywhere that’s further than an Uber can take you, and it’s all too easy to make excuses and ditch your plans because of inconvenience. Ever since I sold my car several years ago I’ve been obsessed withEnterprise CarShareto alleviate the struggles of life without my own set of wheels – if you’re not familiar withEnterprise CarShare,这是一个很容易使用wi汽车租赁服务th vehicles located all around the city (seriously, they’re everywhere! I’ve used the service in both San Francisco & Chicago and never have had to go out of my way to find a nearby car) that you can rent on-demand on an hourly basis. The service is perfect for running quick errands, airport pickups or my latest adventure, ditching the city on a Sunday for a little vintage hunting at Alameda Flea Market.

I’ve been hearing stories about the gems found at Alameda for years, even long before I made the move out to San Francisco thanks to some of my favorite Bay Area bloggers, and while I usually love to hunt for vintage pieces from the comfort of my couch on CraigsList and eBay, I decided I had to check it out for myself. We picked up a cute little white Kia froma nearby Enterprise CarShare locationonly a few blocks from our apartment and headed on our way over the Bay Bridge to Alameda to search for a few final details for our space (home tour coming soon!).

It was a super easy ride to Alameda and we had so much fun exploring the flea market – I was in awe of how many vendors there were andallof the amazing pieces that were up for grabs. I’ve never quite seen anything like it; every stand seemed to have something new and it was hard to resist packing our Kia to the brim with treasures.

After drooling over vintage rugs and stunning indigo-dyed textiles, I ended up scoring a set of vintage glassware for the new bar cart and an adorable little gold mirror for the gallery wall, all for the grand total of… $25. Score! We’re actually shooting home tour photosthis weekand the trip to Alameda could not have come at a more perfect time to add a few new vintage pieces to our home before the big shoot.
