The Best Antique Fairs and Markets in the U.S. – Part 2
Here is the promised Part 2 of the best Antique Fairs and Markets in the U.S. and here is the Part 1 if you missed it. I love a good antique, thrift, vintage or flea market and by any other name it’s still a treasure trove of goodies for all.The history behind everything is what gets me. It reminds me of being a child and following my parents around to thrift on the weekends. I also love a good yard sale too and have thrown many yard sales myself.
The Best Antique Fairs and Markets in the U.S. – Part 1
If you’re like me and you love thrifting and vintage shopping, raise your hand? I have two hands up because I love it that much. There’s something about seeing a piece of furniture, a collectible, or what might be considered “junk” from another era. It makes my heart go pitter-patter. Since Spring has sprung, with the weather warming up, it’s time to head out to some of the outdoor/indoor markets around the country. Seriously, several of these have been on my bucket list for the longest and some I hadn’t even heard of but I now want to go.
The Best 27 Mother’s Day Gifts
Let’s talk about Mother’s Day, shall we? That one glorious Sunday when the women who raised us, fed us, wiped our tears, signed our permission slips, and somehow didn’t leave us at a rest stop even once (honestly, a miracle) get the recognition they actually deserve. And by “recognition,” I do not mean a last-minute card from the grocery store and some panic flowers that are already half-wilted.
Designer & Diy’er pumped up on caffeine and willing to create anything. I want to let women know they can do it and if they don’t want to, I will.
