I loved these because there were always
unique finds that you could never find in US. Our biggest such market was in Antwerp Belgium. Antwerp is a good sized city and the entire town was one HUGE flea market. Like there were several city blocks just for the sale of pets. Amazing. I much prefer the concept of market day like you see it there. It was like a rotating calender and there was a market in a different Village every week. The village i lived in Castricum NL had one every 6 months but so did the Village 30 miles down the road. I have a antique Bellows hanging on my fireplace that I picked up at a market in Hoorne NL. My house is full of memories we found this way.

That sounds like fun. I really am not a "shopper" at heart, but finding
unusal items from around the world would be neat.
