Over the last couple of years, I've visited The Flea off Market several times and it doesn't hold…read morethe same excitement for me as it once did. The vendors that come are diverse and great to shop, although I can't remember the last time I made a purchase. Due to a smaller number of vendors, today's excursion was short - maybe 30 minutes. Thankfully it was set up in the lot of a local brewery so we grabbed a beer and lingered there. If you're pointed in the direction of The Flea, definitely pull over and browse; however, I can't recommend it as the destination or reason for your outing.

The Flea Off Market continues to bring an eclectic array of artisans and sellers together, making…read morefor a purely Louisville shopping experience. I partook of the Flea Off Market most recently at its annual indoor holiday bazaar, this year held at Mellwood Art Center. This included a couple of food trucks plus vendors set up throughout the two outside buildings at the art center. I also appreciate how well the Flea sets the mood for their markets, with DJs in each building and a bar where you can buy drinks. The Flea has always been more of an experience, where it's fun to shop and also to hang out. During this most recent market, I found several creative vendors that I wished I could buy from. I said to my friend who accompanied me, "I wish I had people cool enough on my Christmas list to buy some of these things for." Alas, I just had family on my list. ;-P Some of my favorite finds, though, included Georgia's Sweet Potato Pie Co. (also has a spot in the Highlands that's worth a visit!), SnoWhat, Eichen Design, FLY Girl Candles and Eden & Kissi (also has a physical location that you should go to in Buechel). I was also struck by the idea that I really need to make it a point to go to more of the Flea's outdoor markets next year so I can shop these great vendors not just at the holidays. Thanks for continuing to bring some wonderful weirdness to Louisville, Flea Off Market!

A small, homey space in the heart of historic, downtown Jeffersonville, Sugar Maples can be a…read moretreasure trove if you have the time and patience to browse. The space is chocked full, I mean every corner, of items. I went in for the first time during the very busy, holiday walk. The friend I was with, who's a regular antique and estate sale shopper, told me it's one of her favorite places in Jeffersonville. She especially likes the jewelry. Unfortunately, there wasn't room inside to really look at things. Despite the large crowd funneling in and out, I found the staff to be very warm and welcoming. I need to go back on a weekday or after the holidays when I have some time and some space to maneuver through the shop properly.

Visited Downtown Jeffersonville a few days ago to meet with friends. While in the area I insisted…read moreto my S/O that we visit the cute antique store we parked near, as I had been wanting to visit the shops in that area for quite some time. As soon as you walk in, it smells amazing. It's nice and bright, all the while maintaining the atmosphere you'd expect of stores alike. There are pieces of sheet music spread throughout the store as decorative pieces, which I love. There is sheet music that can be purchased as well, but I couldn't find anything for the cello, which is fine. Things are perfectly decorated, not too cluttered and not barren. My favorite part was all the books. I probably would have walked out with 10 books if I hadn't already had so many to read at home. The selection of old books was pleasing; dictionaries, story books, and text books amongst the ones I had had looked at. It took my S/O forever to drag me out of the store due to all the books I thought of buying whilst there. I purchased a small book and a large satchel of lavender. I thought it was great how they have bags of lavender that can be purchased, it's something you'd never expect and it smells divine. This was my first visit, but I'll be back again. I absolutely adore this store and all the treasures it holds. It's nice being able to go somewhere to see and purchase antique and vintage items and gifts, not every antique store out there is this nice!
