Spring is coming! Many people look forward to Spring for many different reasons. Sure, the weather is nice, the flowers start to bloom and there is the whole Spring Cleaning thing… but I look forward to it because Spring is the beginning of Flea Market Season! I must tell you, reading some of my favorite antique blogs can get quite depressing in the winter, especially if they live in warmer climates and can visit flea markets year round! I get so jealous! But I suppose I can live vicariously through them in the winter, just looking at their pictures. Corey and Tara are two of my favorite fellow flea market bloggers! Over the years I have furnished many a room by going to flea markets. I love the notion that everything I have will have been owned by someone else. It is fun wondering about the journey of the piece. It speaks to me differently than a new item does. Who made it? Who owned it? What did they use it for? Why did they like it? I have a penchant for certain things, but I don’t overlook something that I like, Even if I can’t think of a place for it at the time. I have learned that if I love it, I should buy it. But if I don’t, than I leave it! So what do I collect? Too many things to possibly list in one post… but here is a little peak…
Flower print china
Paris prints
Books
Linens
and sometimes it is just in the details…
There is so much more that I love! I will show you more and more. Most of all I look forward to all of the new things I will be collecting this flea market season! What are your favorite things to collect? Where are your favorite places to unearth treasures?
