Flea market finds
I'm not much of an interior designer but I do my share around the home. I simply love flea markets. My latest find is a bunch of elegant Korean silk sashes which I'm thinking of draping on a curtain pole for window decor.
Do you frequent flea markets too? |

Yes, I have been to flea markets. Although not much lately. I have been to some yard sales though. We are going to build on another room. We are making it rustic and I found an old but in good shape coal bucket and shovel I am going to use on the stone fireplace.

That's great. Rustic stuff are hard to come by nowadays. I'm on the lookout myself for old cast-iron irons , the one they used to put coals into. I saw a pic in a mags using them for flower pots and they look great with vines cascading down their sides.

Yes, I really love flea markets and yard sales. However, I don't have much time nowadays. I'm too busy with a lot of things.
I once bought a lovely dresser for only $10. What a steal! I still have the dresser up to now. |

The folks who threw that away must be crazy. Copper buckets are quite expensive nowadays and I already have like 10 ways to use it if I have one. One of my favorite stuff in the kitchen is an old copper pan cover my mom gave me. |

I wish I could say I liked flea markets, but there's just something about them I don't care for.
I'm the type to either go to some nice little place that sells unique stuff - or else shop online. |

I do the online shopping thing for convenience, but I haven't really been able to find great bargains like I do at flea markets and yard sales. EBay used to be a lot better for that in the past, but I rarely go there anymore since the changes they made. It's just not the same as it was 5 or 6 years ago when I was shopping there. |

I enjoy going to flea markets and looking for treasures. The problem for me, unfortunately, is that I never really have enough time to do it. I used to go to a lot more yard sales that I go to now, too. I have found some tremendous bargains at places like this! |

We make a sort of family outing too. We could spend an entire day browsing through the treasures. But, yeah, doesn't have much time for this pleasure lately too. I was travelling on business and there was this antique shop that was really out of the way and I didn't even have the time to stop and take a peek. |
