With the warming weather, we start to think about flea markets, yard sales, thrifting and vintage markets, one of our favorite summer pastimes. There is a thrill in the hunt, to take someone else’s trash and turn it into a treasure. Whether you’re looking for thrifted items to upcycle into something beautiful for your own home, or to sell and make some spare cash, you can’t beat a flea market. We are excited to share some of our flea market flip favorites with you today.
In our opinion “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” should be the slogan for every thrift store. Thrift stores are magical places where you can go back in time and reminisce. If your hunt is successful, your goodwill finds will be something you can definitely brag about.
So today, we will be doing a little bragging I guess. We will be sharing our favorite finds from flea markets, thrifting, yard sales and vintage markets. Each piece has become a treasure in our homes.
Looking for a little inspiration, take a look at these amazing repurposed flea market flips, then go and turn something drab into something fabulous!

The proper word is “bombé”. Yes, it is pronounced “Bombay”, but it means “exploded”, referring to the bulged-out lower section. You can see how it’s related to the word “bomb”, which, course, refers to explosive ordinance.

30 Sep 2020Thank you Nancy for sharing with us the French word and definition. However with a little google search we have seen it spelled both ways, Bombé and Bombay.
