  1. would LOVE a copy!!! Best flea market find - hmmmm - there are so many flea market babies that I've brought home with me (sometimes to my hubby's chagrin)! Best would probably be a antique buffet painted a beautiful chippy green with scalloped details AND I got it for a song! Visit my site & you'll see flea market finds abound! www.northerncottage.blogspot.com

  2. I so need to win a copy of the magazine! The nearest Barnes and Noble is out already (can't believe they only ordered 8) and I haven't found one anywhere else yet.

    My favorite find is a round wooden box with a wooden lid - like a big cheese box -- but on the side is stamped "Lutefisk 50 lbs." Uff da! Gotta love it!!

  3. Love the new magazine. A little pricey so we all have shared a copy -- it's lookin' a little dog-eared. My sisters & I went antiqueing today & I found a great sofa table, 3-legged stool & an old corkscrew. Thanks for the nice comment on my blog -- I appreciate the thoughtfulness. OK, I'm goin' over to vote. Have a great weekend. Jan

  4. My fav find EVER was a FREE base cupboard that had had a circular saw attached to it and the guy who bought the saw didn't want the cupboard...I asked and got it! THE BEST PART WAS...screwed inside the cupboard was an old antique primitive spice cabinet with 8 drawers with stenciled spice names on them...ALL FOR FREE!

  5. That magazine sounds great! I wonder if we can get it here in Canada? I'm a bit of a flea-market newbie...so I'd have to say my best find is the gun cabinet I found last weekend that I'm planning to turn into a little coat nook! :)

  11. Nice finds! Down here in FL, we don't have good flea markets :(, so it's been a long time since I've been to one. Does fabric count that I found at an antique's store?

  15. My favorite find at a rummage sale (flea market for me) was baby blue wedgewood pitcher and bowl for a grand total of $.50. Gorgeous raised white Grecian designs on them. I can't wait til I have a house of my own. Of course, my aunt SweetMelissa is going to "Missify" it for me!!! Amanda

  16. I went to First Monday this weekend and gotta cute baby scale to put in my vintage nursery/ guest room... Also thought it would be cool to display baby pics on, next year when my baby graduates and of course it would be cute at baby showers.

  17. My favorite flea market find is my large harvest tray I got for free! While I was paying for a few things, I spotted the harvest tray under a table. I asked her how much is it and she said, "that old thing, I'll never get around to painting it, you can have it if you want, just take it." I almost fell to the ground. I never painted it, it is perfect as is.

    I've been looking for Flea Market Style everwhere and haven't found it. So I'm crossing my fingers!

    Thanks for the chance to win! Good luck to all!

    Cheers!

  19. Best find would be an old steamer trunk that apparently had been in a flood, but with some sanding and staining it will be a gorgeous coffee table. It was a freebie!
    Have not seen the magazine yet, but would love a copy.
