Lately, we've been visiting our favorite flea markets more often because we are both working on sprucing up our homes! We both have goals to share new home tours after the new year. (can't wait!) So this means lots of hunting because we want to fill our homes with pieces that add personality and charm. The hunt really is half the fun, though, isn't it?
Elsie's Wearing: Hat/Taget, Coat/Dear Creatures c/o ModCloth (last year), Camera Bag c/o Jo Totes, Skirt and Tights/American Apparel, Shoes/UO (few seasons ago).
Emma's Wearing: Coat/Ruche, Scarf/Free People, blouse/Ruche, jeans/Jessica Simpson Collection, boots c/o Jigsaw
Do you guys enjoy flea markets and thrift shops? What are they like where you live? Here in the midwest we are lucky that they are plentiful and not too picked over. It's our reward for living in a small-ish city, I guess. :) xo. Elsie + Emma
Really great style. Perfect pics.
Have a nice weekend.

In New York they are all overpriced. But this is how everything is in here. You too look so cute! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Oh gosh, so many jars - it looks like you were both spoiled for choice!
I live in coastal Scotland, and we don't get much in the way of flea markets here. There aren't even any car boot sales! We have an antiques market every month or so but there isn't usually anything work getting out of bed for, unfortunately! We have lots of thrift/charity shops, but prices seem to have increased so much - I can't remember the last time I saw ANYTHING for under £5!

You girls have great style! In love with the colour of your tights Elsie:) I love going thrift shopping and we are great full to have an amazing shop called Most Marvellous. It's a big shop with so many amazing things inside! I go pretty much every other weekend as its just round the corner from my house. From furniture to clothing I always come out with a bag full of finds. ! It was recently in Mollie Makes which was so amazing to see :) xx

I adore thrift stores and flea markets! In Alabama, we have quite a few, and I always seem to find a treasure hidden!

Where I live in Melbourne Australia we have lots of different suburban markets at different times in the month. We also have heaps of garage sales. You can pick up some awesome little finds that help your space be unique. I love where I live. We are coming into Summer now and everything is starting to glow. So exciting.
Hugs,
Colette

You make me want to go thrifting. It's actually hard to find thrift stores around here worth visiting. Most of them are filled with H&M last season and all the other fast fashion that tends to fall apart after 10 washes. I'd love hunting for hidden treasures, but it's getting harder and harder. What I'd do to shop at Red Velvet....

Cute pictures. Looks like a fun place to go!
What we have the most of downtown are terrific vintage clothing stores and because there are so many, the prices are quite decent. We also have some neat shops that are called Antique Stores but are more like flea markets inside a store, filled with all kinds of things. Pretty well all of our furniture, (except sofa, reading chair, and beds), is from one of these places. You're right ... Finding used treasures is such a great way to add a nice personal and unique touch to your decor.
Good luck with your treasure hunts! :)

I feel like its hard to find a good flea market in L.A because the goods get taken fast. If anything we have the pasadena rosebowl. I know brooklyn has a fantastic one ive been dying to go to!

I love flea markets. You can always find cute things or just little things that are cool, at a really cheap price. I love that about it! In the south, they are really crowded and usually have neat little things! So fun!

I actually just got back home from visiting a nearby thrift store and flea market! Got some clothing stuff and something I needed for Halloween, but made out like an absolute bandit and nabbed a set of dinner and bread plates, plus cups and saucers, all from the same set! Enough for 4 place settings, and it has a super cute print in excellent condition. I'm excited to photograph them tomorrow when it's sunnier out to compliment the yellow and orange design!

Oh I love flea markets so much. Here in London, they are just a bit pricey, which is, I guess, to be expected from such huge city as this, but I love just stumbling across hidden shops in the country, and in Europe in general. I find that the more hidden the shop is, the more likely it will be for me to find something I REALLY love...hehee

I looooove flea markets! I also love side type of the road vintage stores. I recently found the CUTEST salt & pepper shakers. I love what little touches you can put on a house, with things that already have a story!
