This weekend I hung out with one of my college and lifetime BFF’s “O.” In between workouts and girl talk we hit a couple of flea markets in MD and DC. I’d forgotten how much fun the search can be. If you have the energy you can find some unique and often inexpensive treasures. Being the clutch collector I am, check out the two FAB clutches I scored.

Over a slice of cake and a glass of pinot noir, we started thinking about where and how Flea Markets begin? There was were many theories between us, but it appears there are many theories in general about their inception. One theory is that the Flea Market was originally termed the Fly Market and began in 18th century New York City. That rationale makes sense; considering the entreprenuerial and capitalistic hustle of New Yorkers, but not quite the “fly” you may been thinking.
The land on which the market stood was originally a salt marsh with a brook. By the early 1800′s the “Fly Market” was the principal market in New York City.
Anyhoo, Flea Markets are Fly! I love my new found treasures and intend to SHINE BRIGHTLY with them this Fall!
