Blog: A Day at the Davis Flea Market

By Bianca Moreno

Sunday was my first time selling at a flea market. Or selling anything at all for that matter. I sold mostly jewelry and dresses and some other small crafts. I came away with an armful of left overs and a bunch of cash. Success.

I didn’t get much of a chance to wander around the market, which i would have loved to do. My husband offered to watch over the booth, but I declined. I was selling little memories of my life that other people would get to enjoy, so I wanted to cherish every moment. I loved telling people the stories behind my stuff – whether it was old dresses or crafts that I made for my wedding.

I was able to sell some of my own jewelry designs as well. I was sad to see some of the pieces go, but so happy they found a new, loving home! I plan on getting a booth again in the future. The people were great and the music was awesome. I do feel like I missed out on some great items by not taking time to explore. Next month i will try to juggle both selling and shopping. I can’t wait.

Also, i might be coming back to the market with a couple of the Manzanita tree crafts featured in the photos above. Here are some more photos from the market.
