In the spirit of blogging and to thank everyone for all of the unbelievable support and warm welcome we've received, the Flea Market Style team has decided it is only fitting to reward our readers with a fantastic, flea-market inspired give-away!!
Now, as every seasoned Flea Marketeer knows, finding a way to tote the mixed bag of treasures one buys at a flea market can be challenging. Inevitably, grocery bag handles stretch and break - leaving their painful imprint on our palms - and it takes a certain degree of co-ordination and skill to juggle a teapot, handful of skeleton keys and a vintage sign (among other treasures) in one's arms. And everyone knows that frequent trips to the car to unload our wares might mean missing out on that perfect something, snatched out from under us as we trek to our vehicles...
So, what's a Flea Marketeer to do?
Well, we know what to do!
Leave a comment here to enter our draw for the answer to your Flea Market woes.
What will you win?
Why, you'll win this:

+(2).jpg)
This rustically beautiful, perfect solution to lugging around your flea-market finds: a vintage wire shopping cart with a handmade liner (made from a recycled coffee sack trimmed with vintage fabric, four grommets with cotton cord to tie to the cart) to fill with glorious bounty.
All you have to do is leave a comment below, and we will draw the winner on Sunday night (by midnight, Atlantic time) and announce the winner on Monday's post.
Now, if you want to be entered twice, simply write a short post about the contest (and make mention of our new blog, with a link), and consider it done!! Be sure to send us the link to your post, and we will toss your name into the hat twice!
It's that easy....

Oh, I love it! I went to two fleas this month and, just like always, I checked out all the cool carts the other shoppers were wheeling around and wondered why I hadn't yet gotten one for myself. This one is especially charming. (fingers crossed!)

love the giveaway, perfect item for junking:) cant wait to see the magazine!
I bought one of these years ago at K-mart. I used it to shop at the farmer's market. My husband ridiculed me relentlessly because he thought the cart was so "Old ladyish". I grew tired of his insults so I gave the cart away and now I wish I hadn't. I guess nowadays, with the recession and all, old lady thriftiness is back in fashion.
great cart and can't wait to load up the ideas from your new magazine!
Love the cart, it is perfect!
I need that cart. I go to a flew market once a month and many times I almost bought one. I would love to win one!
I'll try again :) Love the blog. And the shopping/flea marketing cart is toooo sweet. Thanks for the inspiration.

What a great idea and how handy that would be when finding flea market treasures.
Can't wait for the magazine!
What a great giveaway - hope I'm the winner!
Can I live inside the magazine?? Super excited for its debut! The grocery cart is an excellent contraption ... not only for fleas, but for dragging packages to the post office, and for picnicking!
What a lovely cart! How fun it would be to take that with me....
That looks like the perfect carrier for all my flea market treasures. I sure hope I win.
Oh do I wish for that buggy!!! I live in New England and it would be perfect for BRIMFIELD next month!!! :) Ann

I really hope this magazine is a success!!!
I love this cart.
I don't want it, I need it! I have been flea marketing for over 36 years. Give this girl a break she is tried of hauling things to her car. It is just perfect. The cart is a must have for me! Thank you, Martha
My 1st "giveaway" entry!
Love the new magazine idea!

I want, I want. =)
I luv, luv, luv it...can't wait for your magazine....
I can't help but throw my two-cents in as well. I've been looking for a flea-cart and I'm kicking myself for passing one up about a month ago. Thank-you for the give-away!
Sue
Congrats on the new magazine. I can't wait for it!
Oh, sooo pretty!
What a brilliant giveaway -- and a brilliant idea to line the shopping cart. I just gave my old wire cart to my daughter, so she can schlep groceries and laundry back to her new apartment (no car -- city life!). I haven't used it in years, but now . . . to use it at flea markets is ... well, brilliant. Have I already said that?
Cass
PS Congrats on your new venture. How exciting!
Would love it! I also added a shout out on my blog as well! Thanks!
