OK, fellow collectors. Pull out your calendars and start marking down summer fun. It’s time to plot out how to visit as many summer flea markets as possible. We literally cannot think of a better way to spend the next few months of warm weather. We know you know this, but be prepared: Wear good walking shoes, bring an umbrella just-in-case, and pack water and snacks. Cash is always a good idea. It helps with bargaining and you never know when Wi-Fi for credit cards may fail. Check websites before making plans to make sure the markets are not cancelled or postponed. Be safe. If your favorite summer flea market is not on our list, please let us know in the comments so we can share the information.
