Flea Markets

I missed the Chantilly Flea Market last weekend in Northern Virginia. I wanted a chance to see Eddie Ross but I had appointments on Saturday. I love finding good bargains! It reminded me of my weekend in NYC scouring the flea market and all the goodies I found. 

Here I am with my new designer friend Ginger from Charleston, SC. We met at the Business of Design Conference over labor day weekend. 

My first stop that day was the Chelsea outdoor flea market on w. 25th. I have found things there before but not today. 

My next stop was where I met Ginger at the Garage on W. 25th. You should recognize it from the Bravo show with the designer and the 10 ten kids. I found some great napkin rings and frames. 

 Next it was off to Hell's Kitchen: W. 39th the outdoor flea market. Tons of costume jewelry!

I love an antique store or a flea market. Maybe I'll see Eddie next time in NYC!
