#BFE. Live it. Learn it. USE IT. #BFE Stands for “Best Flea Market Ever.” Naturally. (What did you THINK we meant?)
We always enjoy a good “I paid a dollar and sold it for $1,000 story.” While not every “flea market find” is guaranteed to bring you that much joy (and cold hard cash) there are certainly many tales of treasure found at Flea Markets.
Read on for More!
It’s January … something? 1st? 2nd? Eleventeenth? Something like that. I think we all lose track of time a bit over the holidays.
One thing we do know for certain is that just as Valentine’s displays bloom in stores as early as Christmas Day, so too does the desire to “Clean up!” and “Organize!” as we kick off a new year.
It can be costly, and let’s be honest, kind of homely, to stock up on plastic bins and storage totes in your local big box mart. I call storage totes “clutter coffins.” So often in using them we have not so much “cleaned up” as “put off a decision about something we should probably get rid of.” You do you.
There are so many places and spaces in our home that storage IS needed. Everyday, or seasonal, items that need a place to be. That is where the magic of FLEA-TASTIC good taste and Thrift Hunting takes form. You can repurpose vintage items for wonderful, affordable storage all around the home, barn, garage and office.
The fun part? The hunt! Start around the house and if you don’t find anything in the house, barn, garage or storage shed (surely everyone has those right?) then head on down to visit our amazing flea market vendors who are here ALL YEAR ROUND. Every Friday we have SEVEN heated buildings with a changing variety of vendors in addition to a restaurant, hot fresh Amish made doughnuts and our heartiest outdoor vendors too!

It’s no secret that “green lifestyle,” “vintage” and “flea markets” have been hip and rising for quite some time. Still, too many people think flea markets are only for “collectors.” People looking for that perfect chotchke, Matchbox car, Fiesta© plate or crazy eyed cat clock to complete their collection. (Not that there’s anything WRONG with that).
In truth flea markets are an amazing source of affordable, charming, practical and unique pieces to make your home and business shine. What better place to source one of a kind pieces not found at Pottery Barn or Target? Or, if that’s your style (and hey, we love Pottery Barn around these parts!) emulate that style for a fraction of the cost?
