I Love Flea Markets. I admit it. I am an avid flea marketer. I am addicted to them, and rarely miss one! I typically frequent the Swap Meet at the Western Speedway, but that runs seasonally; April through October. Of late I have been visiting the Market at the Da Vinci Centre in Vic West. It runs Sundays, 9 am to 2 pm. Admission is $2. Considering 'cette dame' has been to some pretty great flea markets in the world such as St. Ouen and Paul Bert in Paris, the Brussels Market at the Sablon, Tongeren and perhaps another forty or more including Ghent, Bruges, and Lille, I am still satisfied with any ole market or swap meet! Although this little market at Da Vinci is a little lacking, it still helps fill the void until the new season starts outdoors again, and once again I am on the hunt for pretty vintage finds. I love to collect milk glass, silverware, mercury glass and vintage glass such as Brilliant. My daughter Vanessa collects antique pink depression glass and vintage pink swirl glass from France. She also collects antique and vintage evening bags. Our collections have amassed over the years, and we have become more selective as we go along. The thrill of the hunt nevers wans for us, and we treasure the glimpse into the past each vintage treasure seems to give. I will post some pics of our collections tomorrow!
