Treasures from Flea Markets

Flea Markets are the places from which you come back exhausted. As those in the know, know, one week end at Brimfield can be a real ordeal. But there's nothing like a flea market to give your eye a workout! All these trinkets and treasures were found from Brimfield to the Paris "puces" to Portobello, to Spitafields and beyond.

Great stuff! I love Brimfield.

If you're still up tonight would you do me a favor and vote for me - I'm in this little contest, and I'm losing by about 40 votes. You have a couple of hours left - the vote is for today Wednesday. Thanks xo xo

Great blog you've got here. (Looks like you get around Europe quite a bit yourself!)

This is a nice piece here on flea markets; enjoyed the one on antique doors very much as well. Very attractive visuals in both. Well done.
