We’ve all heard the stories of friends’ antiquing travels. Some
get up at dawn and prowl by flashlight. Others have
bargaining schemes that would make a used car salesman blush. We decided to go
straight to the heart of the matter, enlisting the know-how of four
flea-marketing pros, each with a different perspective: a vendor, an artist, a
visual director, and a shop owner. Visiting the best flea markets, swap meets,
and antiques fairs in the country, we’ve learned a whole new way to shop. One
common theme unites them all: Follow your instincts and bring an open mind. top and bottom left: Rosemary Warren, visual and creative director for Tinsel Trading
