    This morning we are taking our boys to a fairly big fleamarket. I want to stock up on incense and my boys want to look for Star Wars items.

    Do you like to go to markets? What do you normally look for when you go?

    I use to check out flea markets with specific intentions and always ended up with the short end. I now go simply to browse and whatever sparks my interest will. Old furniture, records, objects and images that remind me of my childhood or anything I can turn into a project.

    We have flea markets like that around here too. We call them Farmers Markets or Auctions. (sometimes a bit of both)

    The place that I am going to is a lil' different. There are some vendors however there is a section where people go just to sell their items to get rid of them. One man's junk is another man's treasure. lol

    I like looking for cool bargains on anything that tickles my fancy. You find so many unique items at flea markets....things you had forgotten about.

    I don't get to indulge often. They happen on Sundays here, and I am stuck home with 2 kids and no car on Sundays. :(

    We call them car boot sales... flea markets sound slightly more 'romantic' .though..Oh i think i have another mans junk littered through out my home :p ... It is my treasure though :)

    Melton mobray market does cater for all ...

    We have a couple really nice Goodwills near here. One of them has the store and then in the back they have the bins. The bins are .50¢. Sometimes they have a sale and they are .25¢. The first time I went they were having the sale. I had so much fun.


    Yesterday my boys had a good time at the market. They got some cars and airplanes. One man gave them a brand new hot wheel each for free. What a nice man. :)
