As the Junction Flea winds down for the season, I made one of the final weekends. Here are the points… 1. It costs 2 $ to enter. No big deal, but mildly annoying. 2. There is a lot of small glassware, rugs, and bric-a– brac. Not much in the way of furniture. 3. There is also a selection of fresh produce, flowers and food. The Junction Farmer’s Market has a larger selection and free admission, but there is still some good stuff here. 4. Blessedly, the vendors here seem to know their merchandise and don’t have much junk. Displays are neat and easy to navigate. 5. Overall, prices are a bit high. Be sure to compare, as some vendors carry similar items.

with regards to flea markets, this is as good as it gets! I loved it. Lots to see and do… can easily spend 3 hours there walking around. We got our pictures taken at the TinType Studio which will be a picture I will keep forever. I really enjoyed the coffee too! We will be back and I will tell everybody about how awesome it is.

.@junctionflea This was fun! I might not go every weekend, but definitely something to look forward to on a lazy Sunday morning. If you enjoy outdoor festivals and looking at unique things, take a gander at the flea market once a month. For a $ 2 admission, the parking lot is filled with stalls of different vintage and antique dealers, among them some artists. Some things seemed very over priced, but others quite reasonable. A lot of the things I over heard was, «omg I used to have that!» Or «My mom has something like that», while they kept walking. Although a lot of people keep walking just looking at the novelties, if you’re looking for something specific like a decorative piece, an old toy reminding you of your childhood, or some vintage clothes or cooking equipment, you’ll find it here. Best part(and the only reason I think my husband in enjoys this with me) is the beer and munchies they sell. There’s a beer stall, tacos, homemade popsicles and a coffee trailer. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area!

Junction Flea Market now expanding even beyond the Summer months… But during the harsh winter season, it had moved inside to The Great Hall on Queen St West. $ 5 admission can make or break the deal, at least for me. Decent to wander around, Most of the stalls are selling antique and reused items. If you are looking for used loathing’s, furniture, keepsakes maybe this is for you. I was a little disappointed because there were only a handful of vendors and I was expecting a lot more! There were a few food vendors including Manual Labour Coffee for some pour over coffee, FeasT. O for dumplings and Ramen. I might wait till the weather is nice and warm again visiting the outdoor market instead.

Wow!!! How many hipsters can you fit in one vacant lot? Seriously, this must be a record breaker! Having gotten that out of my system, I have to say, this is a pretty good flea market. The prices are in line with what you’d pay if you went to the St. Lawrence Sunday Antique Market, but things have been vetted to appeal to the aforementioned clientele. I found a wicked ceramic pitcher with campy orange bulrushes for $ 15. I noticed there were many tempting jewelry pieces too. And the furniture prices seemed reasonable too. The bad news is there is only one more market for the season. SO if you happen to be in the Junction on that particular Sunday(could be the 14th, I think but don’t quote me) in October, I would dare say it’s worth a gander. Even if you don’t find a reasonably priced treasure, it is worth finding a patch of shade to people watch. As a side note, it is a dog friendly affair, so your pup can enjoy the sights too.
