If you have a hot-of-the-presses copy of the fall 2011 issue of Flea Market Style magazine, you’ve seen one of our favorite articles: Our readers’ 80 favorite antiques malls from coast to coast (Page 11).

When we asked for suggestions this past spring, we received close to 200 terrific emails. We especially enjoyed the mall descriptions from our readers, like Wendy Abel who described her go-to shopping stop, Antique Company Mall in McKinney, Texas, this way: “This mall reminds me of my Aunt Millie’s home. The building is one-of-a-kind with booths tucked into every nook and cranny and cute little windows with vines growing around them.”

Now, it’s your turn again! For our next issue of Flea Market Style, we want to know your favorite vintage sales. We’re looking for:

* small sales

* barn sales

* occasional sales

* flea markets.

We’re looking for big, small, and everything in-between. There are only two criteria that must be met: The sale must sell at least 90 percent vintage treasures, and it has to have been operating for at least one year.

If we use your nomination, we may quote you in the magazine. All submissions should include a sentence or two about what you love about a particular vintage sale. Great prices? Nice vendors? Fantastic food?

To submit your suggestions, send an email to:
fleamarketstylemag@hotmail.com with “FAVORITE VINTAGE SALES” in the subject line. In your message, include the name of the sale, the city and state in which it’s located, and a website or Facebook address.

Don’t forget to provide your full name and contact information (and your blog/website, if you have one) so we can get in touch with follow-up questions.
