Have you seen
that reality show Flea Market Flip? Teams receive $500 to spend at flea markets
on items they’ll later fix up and sell at popular hip markets where they
compete for customers. Some of the featured flea markets are in the Hudson Valley
and nearby Connecticut. Flea markets of all kinds are something I can’t resist.
Some of my top finds are a book about the Hindu goddess Kali and an exhibit
poster from the Bezalel Academy of Arts & Design.
One of my favorite Hudson
Valley flea markets is the Beacon Flea. The presence of both regular vendors and also sellers there for one-time
garage sales mix up the offerings of vintage, handmade, creative, and household
items. I saw succulents there on my last trip. I’ve seen military articles,
blankets, modern pottery and ceramics, and furniture. The Beacon Flea is open
every fair weather Sunday until November and I’m looking forward to a visit
during the fall.
