Los Angeles Flea Market Finds

June 12, 2013

Flea-Market-1

The Melrose Trading Post is a must-see flea market in Los Angeles!

Flea-Market-2

I absolutely love my Sundays! Normally I sleep in after a late night show from the night before, eat a delicious vegan brunch with my boyfriend (our favorites: Real Food Daily, M Cafe and Erewhon) and then head to the flea market for some awesome household finds. We’ve been gradually collecting amazing statement pieces from our trips to LA flea markets.

Flea-Market-4

Looking for the perfect summer cut-offs? There are jeans for DAYS! High-waist, low-waist, stonewash, neon, tattered…any style your hipster heart desires. AND the prices are always so reasonable–normally at $15-$20 a pair and that’s always negotiable.

Most t-shirt stands always have their shirts cut in the current style. Right now I’m seeing lots of vintage shirts cut a little at the top and also at the bottom, just enough to give a peak of midriff. You’ll always find a one-of-a-kind vintage band shirt or 80’s/90’s flashback.

My find this week is the adorable headband I’m wearing in the first picture. For $15, it was a steal. I can’t wait to wear it on our Phish tours this summer! All items are packaged in an adorable damask jewelry bag:) Check out the shop, VidaKush, super cute handmade jewelry and accessories, and recycled clothing!

Flea-Market-8

Last week Justin picked up this killer Ren and Stimpy animation cell from this stand. It fits PERFECTLY on our wall in the guest bedroom. And look at the eye makeup on this model in the picture above…so retro and stunning! I’m going to try this for our next photoshoot!

Flea-Market-9

Speaking of photoshoots…we always visit this stand to check out the used camera gear. Justin always seems to find awesome vintage camera gear that he actually uses for really cheap!

Flea-Market-10

The key to flea market shopping? Wear something to keep cool and comfortable! And ALWAYS barter with the shop owners…they are never expecting you to pay the first price that they spit out. However, on handmade items I normally won’t barter too much out of respect for the artist. What are some awesome finds that you’ve found at flea markets or out thrifting?

It’s been a while since I introduced myself. Hi! It’s been a while since I introduced myself. Hi! I’m Andrea Whitt, musician, artist, stylist and model. 
I get asked often about my pedal steel playing and thought I’d share a little of my musical journey.

My first instrument was guitar when I was 8. I was given an acoustic guitar for Christmas and by April I had taught myself a handful of songs that I had my friends sing along with me at my 9th birthday. That year I started playing viola, and went on to get my masters degree at University of Cincinnati CCM in viola performance. I was getting so tired of playing the same classical rep that I joined the jazz department. 
I moved to LA after college, and as a surprise to myself was able to support myself doing music full time. Except a gig as a spray tan artist, but that’s another story 🤣 A huge part of my musical career has been teaching private lessons, group classes and conducting youth orchestras. 

I played in rock bands, orchestras, did sessions, random gigs (many shitty ones) until I landed the gig with Shania Twain. I was hired as a violist and fiddle player. I purchased my first violin for this gig and went to local bluegrass jams to learn fiddle styles, definitely fell on my face every time. It was when I was in Shania’s band that I saw a pedal steel for the first time. I was obsessed. I immediately ordered one off of eBay and had it sent to my hotel room in Vegas. Being a Grateful Dead fan I decided the priority was to learn all of the iconic Jerry Garcia pedal steel solos. Note for note, I taught myself steel with all of Jerry’s signature licks.

Shortly after the Shania gig, I got hired to play in Zucchero’s band. A three year world tour to 48 countries. Even though I had only been playing steel for 3 years I got to perform on steel on a handful of songs every show. When you’re sitting at a new instrument in front of 20,000 people you learn fast!

Now pedal steel is just as much a part of my career as viola and fiddle. Thank you for supporting my journey, many of you have been following since my first steel post. I have lots of new announcements coming soon, thanks for joining me on this long strange trip!
