Fancy Flea Market

A Stroll Through the Fancy Flea on April 28th

Fancy Flea this Saturday

Only 2 1/2 days and it's here!  I'll post the final list of vendors on Thursday.

To get to the flea in downtown Lakeland, google Harry's Seafood Bar & Grill Lakeland and use that address...it's right in the middle of the flea.

Free parking is abundant in downtown.  The parking garage on Main & Massachusetts will fill up fast, but you shouldn't have any problems finding a spot.

Bring cash, checks and credit cards.  Many vendors accept all three, but not all.  There are several ATMs in the area in case you need more cash.

Stop by the Fancy Flea Vendor & Visitor Center next to Harry's and sign up for the all new Fancy Flea newsletter to be published this summer....I would love to meet you!

Check back tomorrow for the final list of vendors.

Weekend Treasures

As promised, I'm going to start posting a few times each week until I master this.  Here are a few things I picked up this weekend at a yard sale down the street and a little auction I visit each Friday night.  Some will show up at the some Fancy Flea.....and some won't!

Blog Updates Coming Soon!

This weekend I am sitting down with my hubby and updating my blog.  I am really challenged in this area and he has agreed to help me bring everything up to date....gotta love him.

The next Fancy Flea is scheduled for April 28th in downtown Lakeland, Florida on Kentucly Ave.  We are 2 months out and have almost 100 spots filled.  Last November saw 134 booths...so we're right on track for another fabulous show!

So, watch for updates including a new flyer, pictures and how to's.  We are featured in Flea Market Decor this month as a top Florida Flea Market and there is also a 1/4 page ad in the magazine as well.

Have a great weekend everyone.....my new grandson is coming to spend the weekend with me....can't wait!

We have to thank all of our loyal vendors, fantastic fans, the Downtown Lakeland Partnership and all of the terrific businesses in Downtown Lakeland for making our dreams for a vintage flea market a reality. You have stood by us and helped make our show one of the most anticipated vintage lifestyle events in Central Florida!
