Vintage, vintage, vintage. If it's vintage, I'm interested. It's why I try to find flea markets whenever I'm traveling. And, to be honest, some parts of the country don't do it as well THIS part of the country.

Occurrences like that one are why I hit up Goodwill Stores and the various flea market establishments we have here in Owensboro.

I've only ever been flea marketing once in Music City, and it was a good while back AND I didn't find anything because I wasn't as into that sort of thing as I am now. In fact--and don't come at me--I waited in the car. Dark days, indeed.

But you'll need to work around the Nashville Flea Market because it's only open on the fourth weekend of every month for shoppers. So keep this calendar handy.
