Some celebrity buzz this week! 12-Year-old Singer and Actor, Willow Smith, was spotted shopping a local vintage flea market in Los Angeles this month. Together with a friend, they were sporting some cool styles and enjoying the shopping experience. It’s great to see kids learning about and shopping at flea markets! Brings good memories back to mind when I was a kid shopping flea markets with my younger brother, only we were scouring tables for cool G.I. Joe toys and Matchbox cars before we advanced to collecting Pez Candy dispensers and antique pop bottles, some of which I still have and display today!
