Vintage Trends Fall 2010

One of my favorite things about going to one of the larger flea markets, like Alameda Antiques by the Bay or Rose Bowl is not only picking up cool treasures, but seeing some of the larger trends in vintage. Like fashion, there are definitely popular vintage items that start popping up in antique shops and retail stores across the country.

Here are some of the trends I spotted at a recent trip to Alameda Antiques by the Bay...

Great natural curiosities finds like animal skulls were in high demand at the market.
