Everyday Life in D.C. #3

A recent Saturday found us in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, located east of the Capitol Building.  The weather was lovely, with  cool breezes and a Carolina blue sky.  

We stumbled across a large flea market and enjoyed viewing art, crafts, antiques, food, clothing and accessories, etc.   


The flea market is located near D.C.'s Eastern Market, a food market completed in 1873.

The idea for the Eastern Market was included in Pierre Charles L'Enfant's 1791 plan for the city.
One of the vendors at the flea market offered some interesting lamps for sale, crafted from musical instruments and plumbing parts. 



Visiting the flea market yielded a great find.  Susan bought a large blue shoulder bag made from "vegan leather".  Check out the happy shopper below.


Thanks for visiting the Capitol Hill Flea Market with us.
