Come on out and join me at my personal favorite and Chicago’s famous indoor-outdoor flea market to shop for vintage decor, clothing, and jewelry.

Bring Cash To The Flea Market

01

To avoid that awkward moment when you bargain your way from $27 to $8…keep small bills in different locations.

Can You Haggle At A Flea Market?

02

More often than not, flea market vendors are willing to haggle, especially if it’s the last day of the market.

Inspect Vintage Items Carefully

03

Look for any signs of damage, wear, or repairs, as this can affect the value, which is essential when negotiating.

Measure Before You Shop

04

Not only should you bring a tape measure to the flea market, but you should also measure your space before leaving the house.

Know What You’re Looking For

05

Before you go to the flea market, have a good idea of what types of vintage decor you are interested in.

Floor Length Options

Come out and say for a great cause, snatch up some great vintage treasures, and don’t forget to partake in a cocktail.
