My eyes lit up this morning when I read that the Portland Flea is making its debut this weekend! I love a good treasure hunt, and I am in the midst of decorating my new place, so this is really exciting. Honestly, I rarely ever find a treasure I can afford, but the hunt is the entertainment for me.
Netflix recommend the show "American Pickers" and I started watching over the weekend. It's about a couple of guys who scour people's yards and homes and garages for "junk" that can be sold. A highly entertaining show - I definitely recommend it for all you treasure hunters out there.
Alas, I can't find anyone willing (or has the time) to go with me. I may venture out myself, if I am motivated enough. Motivation is always my downfall on the weekends. It looks like it will be a once a month thing, though October is usually packed for me, and I don't care to walk around for hours in the winter cold.
Such is life's problems.
How about you? Are you planning on checking it out?

I love American Pickers, and I love flea markets! You should definitely go, even if it's just by yourself...sometimes that's better because you can browse at your own pace.
So happy I found your blog, it's lovely! I've always wanted to visit Portland, so I'll just get my daily dose through your blog until I can see it in person :)
I'm glad you posted about this! I'll have to check it out.
I am sooo excited! I am so going to check it out. I know there is a big flea market out by Sherwood on 99.
:)
Anait - thanks for checking my blog out! I will pop over to yours as well. Anytime you come to Portland, let me know! It's a GREAT little city.
Erika - Thanks for the tip! We should start a flea club. Bahaha.
Um this just rocked my Friday--I've been wondering why PDX doesn't have a Flea Market, so I really hope this gets up and running AND contains some great deals! Thanks for putting it out there as I never would have seen it. Glad to have found you via the little things we do. :)
