I just can’t help but be observant whenever I go to flea markets and shop for new jewelry pieces. Some so-called recessionistas can’t seem to get enough of browsing around, comparing prices and haggling, while other shoppers are quick in choosing jewelry that they first lay their eyes on like a vintage-looking necklace or handmade earrings. Seeing the interaction between the jewelry seller and the shopper can be quite a scene, too.

Going to flea markets is really fun and enjoyable, especially when I see a shopper getting so excited with her great find. Being a jewelry enthusiast myself, I know how thrilling it is to find the kind of jewelry you’ve been looking for, and all the more, getting them at a price that’s almost a steal.
