What did you score at the Punk Rock Flea Market?

It was Punk Rock Flea Market time once again on Sunday, and I, along with the other sweaty masses, braved the heat and the warehouse across the street from the Starlight Ballroom to do some digging. You guys get anything good? Tell me in the comments! I've put a moratorium on looking at records at flea markets such as this because I tend to forget about paying my rent in favor of buying Bikini Kill 7"s or Peter Frampton picture-discs (yeah, I don't, like, totally own this). Instead, I stuck to the more sidewalk sale-esque tables, picking up a mustard yellow Topshop dress that I talked down to half the price ($5 instead of $10, woohoo!). That's really why I like the PRFM: The Art Star Craft Bazaar satiates my crafty needs, and while the amount of DIY craftables has increased since the first PRFM incarnation (has anyone else noticed that too? Is that just me?), you can still find plenty of tables featuring someone's old Sega Genesis, Buyer's Remorse shoes and old books. But I couldn't resist Leah Creation's vinyl earrings. The super-friendly, Philly-based jewelry designer cuts earrings out of unplayable 45s. I picked up these:

With a little Googling, I figured out this was a John Mellencamp 45, as if anyone else but the Coug would be produced by both Don Gehman and and the awesomely named Little Bastard. Tell me what you got in the comments and hook me up with some pictures, why don't you?

I had to restrain myself at the Flea (I was working, after all) but I couldn't resist Backyard Boutique's sultry, peach-y maxi halter dress and a wee poetry chapbook from SplitLeaves Press... who was all alone vending in the Polaris, dear sweet thing.
