Lewisburg itself is a wildly cute historical district, and those stores are RIDIC. The furniture prices make my brain fall out of my head all the time- I found a vintage waterfall dresser for $20. I find all my best stuff there. http://www.streetofshops.net/ (with my alltime fave flea market downstairs- so big and open 7 days a week) http://www.rollermills.com/ If you’re planning a flea market/antique shop road trip, you MUST check out the Roller Mills and Street of Shops (within a five block radius) in Lewisburg, PA – just under three hours from New York.

It's great because there aren't only niche sellers who know to-the-t exactly what their wares are worth; they are mostly sellers who buy out new england estates and have everything from old type sets to old bikes to furniture that needs a little refinishing. http://www.etflea.com/ A great year-round flea in the northeast is the Elephant’s Trunk in New Milford, CT.

Isn't it silly that I didn't notice anything else at first??? Hehe :) I IMMEDIATELY recognized the Flair pens before anything else…I have been obsessed with them for about 9 years now!

There is a seven mile strip of antique dealers and you can find just about anything! The prices are amazing, too- I have found things there for a third of the price they would go for in California or New York.

The same love and care has to go into seeing that rough gem of a vintage chair, and knowing the beauty that it can be after a coat of paint and fabric, the same as in being creative in any other way. I apologize for the self promotion, but I have an etsy shop that happens to sell both- I think you might like!!! Bluebellbazar and deadbirdfinds are other great vintage etsy shops.
