HIDDEN TREASURES: CHECK OUT THESE SIX FLEA MARKETS
We all know the saying “one man’s junk is another man’s treasure,” but the flea markets around Connecticut certainly offer up plenty of hidden gems.
Where else can you find tiny teacups, clothes, antique furniture, old records and a variety of eclectic finds without breaking the bank?
I love finding an item with a little history, or searching for a unique bit of decor for my home. During my own forays into flea markets in the area I’ve found military paraphernalia, art and an astounding number of dolls.
If you’re a seasoned flea market shopper or a novice to treasure hunting consider exploring these six flea markets.
