Renovating and decorating our new/old house, a cozy cape cod built in 1940. It won't happen overnight, so join me for the journey.
Love this clock
Here are a few Flea Market Pointers from Cottage Living
Make a shopping list with all of the measurements, color schemes, and pertinent information you need.
And set a budget; otherwise, it’s easy to overspend.
It’s also important to keep in mind you can’t return what you buy, so choose wisely.
When negotiating for a good price, instead of saying, "I’ll give you this amount," try, "Are you willing to take this amount?" Vendors respect bargainers with polite negotiating skills.
Happy shopping and have a great day!
I know what you mean! I am have dying for flea market season...garage sales...anything! be sure to stop by and say Hi! if you go to Kane County in the spring. I will have my booth there starting in May! ;o) ~mary~
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear about any Chicago flea markets that might be worth a drive!
ReplyDeleteJen,
ReplyDeleteThere are two great fleas in Illinois that I have been to. Sandwich Antiques Market in Sandwich Il and the Kane County flea market in St. Charles Il. There are lots of treasures to be found!
I love outdoor flea markets in the spring too. CANNOT come soon enough for me. :-) Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for nicer weather for flea markets, too! We have alot of autions here in Pa; which are really fun and sometimes we can get great deals :)
ReplyDeleteHi, I am glad you discovered my site, best wishes with the giveaway, I hope you win.
ReplyDeleteI must say, it will be unethical but I would have loved my wife to win it, it is a really beautiful piece of jewelry.
I am also going to read some more on your site, hope you are having a great day. We have summer here in sunny South Africa, but |I hope it will warm up for you guys soon.

I am salivating at those door knobs~so pretty! This year I am determined to check out the Highway 127 yardsale. Even though part of it goes through Tennessee I have never once made it.
ReplyDelete"Counting the days"? You and me both, Sister, you and me both. :)
