Really, nothing. Except I could spend hours upon hours browsing around at each.
I gravitate towards anything vintage and whimsical. I like something with character, with a story or meaning, and something you won't see on everyone.
The monthly flea market is the best place to find one of a kind items that you can't find just anywhere. Or, if you can find them elsewhere, they probably aren't nearly as cheap. Granted, it takes a good eye and some patience to sort the trash from the treasures, but a day off work Friday let me do just that.
I spent several hours looking at some really great, uncommon goods. Lots of things displayed remind me of my grandmothers, which is part of the reason I love going each month.
There is one booth I frequent - a lady who sells vintage jewelry and accessories at the best prices.
It was here that I found this little treasure. I have a collection of old purses that were my great-grandmother's - and for $10, I thought it was a good find.
What made it a GREAT find was what was inside - a ticket stub from the Grand Ole Opry in 1974.
How cool is that?
Love it! I miss the flea market there. We don't have a very good one here.
