The Flea Game

Sundays....makes me thing of????? Flea Market... I more so like the jewlery I find there among other things.Going to the flea market is a past time in of itself. The haggling for the best price between you and the seller and finding that thing you didnt even know existed. Here are a few between D.C. and New York that I thought would be a good resource. People always seem to ask me and I find are left in the dark when it comes to where flea markets are so I thought this post would be helpful.

I wanted to start off though with a one off event I found out about happening today.



I know its last minute but its today: October 18

Time: Noon - 7:00PM

The flier above pretty much speaks for itself but check out Trouble and Bass's Blog

Eastern Market is more hit or miss. It more so has vendors selling brand new wares rather than a real-deal flea market. When I think flea, I think a place where I find random old or vintage or whatever kind of things. There is some here... but it is worth checking it once in a while.
