Seabold Vintage Market

Twice a year, Bainbridge has a very special event – an old-fashioned  vintage style flea market held at the historic Seabold Community Hall on the north end of the island.
Liz Le Dorze, who founded “Seabold Vintage Market” in 2009, keeps it intentionally small with just 4-6 additional local vendors in order to maintain a sense of community.

Yesterday’s event was especially remarkable because the sun came out after a week-long deluge allowing vendors to display an array of wares outside.

The next market will be held in the fall.  Remember:  if you want to get the choice pieces, you have to get there early!   Many more photos below…

Route 89a

A Change of Planes: A very short walk through Shibuya

The red eye from Saigon arrived at 7:00am, and I had about seven hours before the connecting flight was to leave for Seattle.  The weather was beautiful. So I ditched the airport and took the train in to my favorite part of Tokyo, Shibuya – “crowded valley” – popularized by the film “Lost in Translation. Those Japanese are indeed interesting, funny people…

Wedding Dress Street

Ho Van Hue – the main street near our office here in Saigon – is filled with wedding dress boutiques.  Paradoxically, it also has a more-then-average number of casket shops. Still, from one person’s viewpoint, you’re never too young to start wishing….

Saigon Prayer

There’s something about the garish neon, the smoke, and the piety of prayer.  I’m not sure what, but there’s something…

Proud Mothers

I was invited to a Vietnamese wedding here in Saigon and was expecting to see a traditional wedding but it turned out to just be the reception dinner in a fancy entertainment complex.  Still, I managed to get a photo of the proud mothers of the bride and groom…

Over Siberia

Usually the flight from San Francisco to Hong Kong arcs out over the Aleutians and down acrosss Kamchatka, but our “circle route” was much higher.  Should have known. We dropped right over Siberia and into Beijing for a quick refuel before heading on to Hong Kong and then Saigon. Just an iPhone snap.
