I'm always excited when I find (usually by stumbling across) a flea market. However, more often than not, I find myself disappointed. Flea markets in our area are rarely the haven for old trinkets and treasures that I long for them to be. Instead of bolts of vintage fabrics and worn architectural details we find stalls of old video games, knock-off hand bags and random tools. I've always longed to find a quaint little flea market with beautiful bouquets of flowers, old ephemera and treasures from a time long ago. Of course, there would also be the rustic antiques, the fresh lemonade stand and the to-die-for pastries that go so well with a freshly brewed cup of coffee. It's a rarity to find yourself in a flea market like that unless you've hopped a plane and landed in Paris itself.
This past week, I discovered a posting from the blog French Larkspur called French Flea Market. It highlights a market held in Tipton, Indiana and is full of photos the writer took when she went down to photograph the event. I'm sure you'll enjoy taking a peek into the magical little market as much as I did.
Enjoy!

I love the blue chairs and blue table. I want something like that in my backyard.
