What is a flea market? Generally, the term “flea market” is used to describe an outdoor bazaar of sorts, in which a variety of third-party vendors may sell secondhand goods or handmade items. I love taking a nice day trip to the flea market. They always seem like more of an event than a traditional thrift store, and you can walk around all day with a nice weather-appropriate beverage and enjoy the company of the other market-goers. Some of my best thrifted finds include a decorator plate with a picture of a foaming-at-the-mouth pit bull on it, a vintage Christmas holly printed tea set, and a $1 Nekromantix concert tee shirt. I love a good deal, and it’s hard to resist the call of a good flea market.
