Grab your raincoats — and your sunscreen. You never know what the weather will be like for the spring flea markets. But what we DO know is that, as always, we can’t wait to hit the road. Always check your local calendars to see if there are pop-up spring or summer antique markets, too (and let us know at Kovels if you find some gems!).
