Flea Market Treasures

I love the flea market. The thrill of the hunt is like nothing else. I love finding that very special something that you didn't even know you were looking for...but, when you have found it, you knew you were looking for it. Know what I mean? It's rather unexplainable as is the desire to acquire old things. But, once you have the bug...you're in for good. You just cant walk away from the treasures that await.

Fun too are the vendors that you meet while shopping these flea markets. Wow, you have never met such a group. Doctors, lawyers, people from all walks of life, spending their spare time collecting and selling what some call junk. Most would gasp at the term. Because the old saying "one man's junk is another one's treasure" is soooo true! Most of these collectors are not above digging threw someone else's trash. And most have a story or two boasting of that amazing treasure found "in the trash". How about that lady recently who found a painting some 15 years ago in her neighbors trash and it turned out that it was worth over $100,000.00! That's worth diving for!
