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. 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.

A great year-round flea in the northeast is the Elephant’s Trunk in New Milford, CT. 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/

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

The best place in the country for antiques and thrift is Denver, Pennsylvania, which is about an hour outside of Philadelphia. 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.

I think that often times handmade and vintage do go hand-in-hand as well. 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.

Kate, the pens are PaperMate Flair Felt-Tip Pens, Medium Point and you can buy them at Staples. I’m obsessed with the pink and orange inks, which you can only buy in the assorted sets of 16 (sigh!).
