My head exploded (in a good way)

This is what happens when you visit the Tokyo City Flea Market in Oi Keibajo. You go totally nuts. 

I was hunting for cheap vintage jewelry to tear apart for a new project of mine, and man oh man, do they have what I was looking for. Some treasures there and I didn't spend more than 3000 yen (25$).

Beautiful gemstones, pearls, chain maille, and a lot of bling. All of this is going to be dismantled and.. well, you'll see.

Love those golden squares!

That flea market is held every Saturday and Sunday of the year. Oh dear. I'm gone…
