| Classic German chalkboard beer sign. This will be a great 'white board' for my office back home. Shipping it home might be a bit tricky,....Did you know there is a 'chalk-mate' pen? Its writes like liquid chalk and wipes off easily. (6e = 6 EUROS) |

I also picked up some cute bell bottom jeans, and several military style jackets for amazing prices. Flea markets are a gold mine of goodies and bargains - its like 600 yard sales combined in one convenient location.
Do you go to the flea markets? Do you have any strategies or major scores from past trips?

Score! I love the coasters and your messenger bags. I wish Portland had flea markets I'll have to keep my eyes peeled!
The bracelet is wonderful and yes I am going to fleamarkets a lot :)))
love the coasters/miniplates
Wow girl you scored some amazing things. Flea markets in Australia are full of rubbish just cheap crap or maybe I just havent found a good one yet.
Wow! You got a great haul here! I never find such rad stuff at flea markets!
yayyyyy finally starting to get caught up on your posts (which is going to take me days...have i really been outta the circuit that long!??!?!).
i love your flea market finds! i need to peruse a flea market with you sometime LOL!
and did you ever get my postcard!? i think i put it in the wrong bin at the post office! aghhh lemme know!
OMG your finds are *amazing*! The Hubby and I love finding different/not new things when we're out and about/traveling. So jealous... ;)
I love flea markets! It's one of my favorite things to do. I used to go to the Chelsea flea market in NYC often...so many great things, so little room to put them.
I have had MAJOR luck here - but then again, the flea markets are massive in size and do require a bit of digging.
After awhile I get over stimulated with miles of tables filled with random things. STRATEGY TIP: This is where a buddy comes in handy and can help you spot something fabulous. Eye glaze-over is a killer.
PLUS....I kind of like odd things so that works in my favor. How many people out there really want an orange messenger bag with a Knight on it?
They had swastica (sp?) and nazi stuff here. CRAZY!! Why would you even wan to be affiliated with that?? Rumor has it there are a ton of 'knock offs' and 'imposters' on war souveniers. U.S. based shows like PAWN STARS have made thrift/flea market shopping a booming business.
Next time you go vintage shopping and find great things - take photos and send them my way. We'll do a link up.
