Each weekend, at the crack of dawn, vendors at flea markets across the state unveil their treasures for the world to see: tables piled high with vintage clothing, records, electronics, and cherished books; booths filled with antique furniture and decor. The aisles come alive as the sun rises and people come together to trade stories and, of course, find great bargains. These 15 flea markets bring the promise of new projects and new purpose.
