I’m a portland, OR native but live right around the corner from Eastern Market here in D.C. I’m there every weekend, I’m surprised I didn’t see you two! If anyone makes it over here, Eastern Market also has an incredible selection of art, fresh farmers market produce, and authentic butchers, cheesemakers and more. It’s a great place to visit!

So cute! And the bookcase (now that we know it’s a bookcase) looks amazing! Too bad you didn’t get it!

Please do swap good local flea markets in this comment section. I wish we could suggest more than just in our area, but we’re not that well traveled. :)

And thanks to Nan for the local suggestions. We’ve never been to that place in Ashland and while we’ve passed the Virginia Bazaar in Ladysmith frequently we’ve never stopped. Something else to add to our list!

Marilyn, I would’ve never recognized that as the type of bookcase in a law office (all the vendor bothered to tell us was that he thought Sherry was a good bookcase model…why I oughta…). But now I regret not figuring out if it came apart. Oh well, live and learn.

And Lissa and Laura – you’re making me blush.

What a great market! I love the rustic tin and the wood printing press letter.

I live in Richmond, but whenever I go to visit my sister in NoVa we head out to Eastern Market. I purchased two antique rice measure boxes from the vendor of Asian pieces that you featured. It is fun to see it all here on your site! And thanks to Nan, now I have two places to check out here in the Richmond area!

I’ve go to DC at least once a year to visit a close friend. I’ve been been to this flea market..and I can’t wait to check it out. ps. The keys and block letters are uber cute.

This is funny! We live in Occuquan during the week and go to our property (Lake Anna)on weekends and the first thing I want to do is go junk hunting in Richmond. I find it funny that the two of you come north and we head south.

Do you ever go to Class to Trash in Ashland or the Bazaar in Ladysmith? It is hit-or-miss but usually there is something interesting to check out at either place.

Here’s to junk hunting.

You two have amazing taste and a really great spirit. I hope you someday raffle a chance to meet you! :) Anyway, if anyone knows of flea-markets like this in CT please let me know. I am a huge fan of tag-sales and flea markets so anything of the sort would be wonderful and helpful.

Best of luck to Sherry & John and all of your avid readers!

Cheers,
Lissa
