Local Fall Flea Markets and Antique Shows

Every mom deserves a “me day” every once in a while, right?! One of my favorite ways to spend a solo weekend afternoon is by taking a trip to a vintage market or craft show. It’s also a fun day to gather up a few girlfriends (or an older kiddo) to shop with.

Now that it’s almost fall and we’re about to enjoy some cooler weather, the perfect activity for a weekend day is browsing treasures with a mug of hot coffee in hand. Below are some markets taking place around the area this fall.
