My mother took me to the Aqueduct flea market when I was but a little stalwort lad. We walked the…read moreaisles of everything and anything believed to be resellable under the sun. At best, I was moderately amused by the men yelling "oooonnnnneee dalla one dalla one dalla Heeere" and the ice that I'd receive at the junk quests end if I behaved. There was just something about the flea markets that I didn't like, because we went to all of them, the name "flea" always bothered me - nobody else shopped there that we knew - I'm not sure if it was a secret or not - but I never muttered a word about it. I'm enjoying walking the aisles today - buying a few nick knacks and paddy wacks along the way. I've looked this up and learned that the biggest flea market is in Texas, no surprise there I suppose -- and there's one in Silicone Valley but these would likely take days and weeks to explore. So, not looking for anything in particular, I'm browsing the smaller markets - the big one in Brunswick isn't worth the time in my opinion. With roughly 30 vendors, this Riverside flea market is just the right size - sweet older people peddling their wares with a joke and a smile - always engaging and with the spunk of youthfulness. I don't want the "pot of gold - honey hole - diamond(s) in the rough - special edition - 1st edition - authentic " eBay reseller finds - for me, it's typically about shopping what brings me joy and, oddly enough, those are nostalgic items from my youth. A case of coming full circle I suppose, however they don't sell ices and I don't have to behave.

The Willows is the largest indoor flea market in Maine with 250 vendors…read more It is still my favorite antique store ever. Just so much to see and mostly good prices. We visited on a Saturday and it was packed! I had never seen it so busy (and with a lot of young people). I wanted to update this review because 10months ago I posted a photo of these crescent candlewick side dishes for $45 each.... Fast forward to yesterday and I offered $25 a plate. My offer was accepted! For anyone curious, they are a candlewick side place and semi rare. As a candlewick collection I was excited to take them home. Whenever you see something you like at these antique stores - particularly those with vendor booths - don't be afraid to make an offer. Most of the time they will accept!

Treasures of all kinds can be found here: coins, costume jewelry, carnival glass, strange t-shirts, stranger home decor, toys and statues, books and buttons, vintage electronics, old kitchenware, a guitar corner... you could come here every week and find something new (new to you, anyway)! So many friendly and knowledgeable people; I watched one vendor explain to a couple how flea markets worked (she genuinely encouraging them to barter for anything they were interested in). We had a couple vendors tell us that they had lots of stuff 25% to 40% off, just to ask if we were curious. Make it a point to visit here, especially in the winter months when the farmers market is happening at the same time. It makes for a wonderful Saturday morning outing!
