*** Actually held in Dulles, VA!

- "THE MID-ATLANTIC'S LARGEST ANTIQUES FLEA MARKET" - Is that true? I guess? 

- Decent size indoor market. They charge an entrance fee ($10 or $15). 

- On the pricier side. I don't usually find much for resale... but always find a few things for my personal collection! 

- Mostly smalls, but also some interesting antique furniture and statement pieces. Vintage china, lots of glassware, textiles, christmas/holiday decor, clothing, purses, estate jewelry, fine artwork, etc. 

- See video tour here and here and here.

- Small and pricey. This ain't Brimfield, folks. 

- Gone are the days when this place was filled with cheap bins of jewelry to sort through (as was the case in my youth). It's now primarily filled with crap and Y2K clothing. 

- True vintage is pricey. Silver, artwork, statement pieces. Some glassware and textiles,. Mostly smalls. 

- If you are in the area, worth stopping by. But don't get your hopes up! Sometimes I find a few things, but usually walk away empty-handed.

- Love! One of the sweetest shops in Georgetown - beautifully curated antique furniture and smalls. Mostly British. Wood tables, antique copper, silver, etc. 

- Great place to look for a gift.

- Definitely on the pricier side, but they have some truly special antique pieces. 

- Antique china sets, lots of silver, chinoiserie. Sometimes I get lucky and find toleware, gilded sconces, etc. Good place for interior decorators. Not good for resale, though. 

- If you go to the second floor, you'll find accessories, shoes, estate jewelry, and some designer clothes.

- Pricey, true antiques. Furniture, lamps, artwork, home accessories - an interior decorator's dream. Should go without saying that this isn't a good place to look for resale. But it's definitely somewhere I could spend my Christmas bonus... :)
