Okay okay – today is MONDAY and this pic should have been posted YESTERDAY but forces beyond my control were preventing me from updating my blog – i.e.: my website was down. <\/p>\n

Neither Chris nor I had time to look into why<\/em> it was down yesterday so that happened this morning. Needless to say it’s up and running, since I am at my desk currently typing away in this post. <\/p>\n

So, today will have TWO yes TWO separate posts – one for yesterday (Day #55) and one for today (Day #56)<\/p>\n

Because of an article on San Francisco Fun Cheap<\/a> that I read a few weeks ago I learned of the Treasure Island Flea Market<\/a> and of course I immediately wanted to go look at all of the junk or treasures that I could possibly want to see. <\/p>\n

It seemed like every weekend I had something planned already, so last weekend I decided that I would go this weekend. <\/p>\n

Then last Monday, Treasure Island Flea’s Facebook page<\/a> posted about a contest to win a $100.00 shopping spree by sharing their post – well of course I would share that post! I really wanted to visit the flea, and how much more awesome would that be with $100.00 given to me to spend?!?!<\/p>\n

Friday I got the word that I won! WOW! I was thrilled! I had SO MUCH FUN looking at everything there was to see and I met so many sweet people there! One of the owners of the event met me at the gate to give me my $100.00 worth of vouchers – a genuinely nice person, and I am not just saying that because she handed me free money! Thank you so much! What a nice welcome to San Francisco!<\/p>\n

I ended up buying a hand-made skirt overlay to pair with my costume corsets and a chain mail bracelet – both vendors were so sweet and likable and I can’t wait to wear these things. Perhaps a pic later when I’m in the mood to play dress up. <\/p>\n

It was around 3:30 when I left the flea and explored the waterfront a bit. The sun was glaring so it made the view of San Francisco a bit hazy – I intend to go back to take pictures at sunset one of these days soon. I snapped some pics strictly for the memories but they aren’t anything spectacular. (oh, that sun glare!)<\/p>\n

I happened upon a HUGE wire statue of a woman dancing – the Bliss Dancer<\/a> – so beautiful! I started taking pictures right away and I had a lot of fun getting shots with the sun in various positions in relation to the statue. I liked her so much that I decided to edit one of the photos right there on the spot, and here is the result – <\/p>\n

In browsing the website I learned that she lights up at night – I’m planning a trip over to the island for sure!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
