just give me true love and understanding

Saturday, mom and I went to the Time Travelers Vintage Expo. 

The weekend before, I saw an advert saying that it was coming to the Bay Area. I told my mom we were going (hahahaha) and I bought tickets. 

We drove down to San Mateo and parked on the street (saving $20).

My mom looking at the cute ducks!

Fit check in the bathroom (although I was too short to even be in the mirror, hahahaha).

Not sure this should have been for sale, TBH!

I did not sit on this because I would absolutely be the person to break it somehow.

This was not vintage (so I am not sure how this vendor got in here), but it was still cute.

I bought this Esnupii LMAO

I regret not buying this, ahahahahaha.

I absolutely regret not buying this lol

I also regret not buying that Leo banner.

One of the booths gave you candy if you bought something! :D

I did not get a fortune from this machine. :(

So notes about the expo itself: all of the vendors were insanely kind and wonderful--the patrons were not. I know--I KNOW that I am overly polite and that most of the world is overtly rude, and that it's a bad combination. But the grabbing, and running into me, and reaching over me shit got old really quickly and I ended up skipping whole booths because I was so sick of it. The expo also leaned very heavily late 60s and into the 70s, which isn't quite my aesthetic, sadly. I did still have some fun, but it really dampened my experience. Also, so many of the things I saw for sale were things that I owned, hahahaha.

The nice parking lot attendant gave us a ride on a cart to the side gate, which was closer to our car! And we saw some night blooming jasmine.

Being in San Mateo only means one thing.....

Fit check!

Of course I got my patty melt (medium, no onions)

This was an onion ring that looked like a donut! 

And, ofc, pie!

Because we were already down there, we decided to go to 25th street.

I saw this at Goodwill. I literally felt a pit in my stomach. 

This was in the kid section, but if it had been in my size, I would have absolutely bought it.

Same.

I had no idea what this trophy was for, but I actively regret not buying it, lmao.

I don't know why, but this shop name SENT me.

We went to the record store for record store day. There was no Breeders anything in the whole store.

But we checked out Cruel Donuts (LMAO), and they had Esnupii! :D

Here are some of the things I bought!

I got this at the Goodwill. It even came with a little bear friend! :D

My grandma had the exact same sweater and I literally cried when I saw it. I had to buy it!

Does this mean I am really Native now? LMAO

The sunset on Saturday. This could not even capture a fraction of how beautiful this was.
