We spent last weekend at an antique flea market. When DH and I led our BC life (before children), we loved to go antiquing even though we couldn't afford anything. Now that the kids are older, we thought it would safe to visit the flea market once again. We still can't afford anything, but at least we didn't have to worry about a baby stroller knocking over something we couldn't pay for!
As I was walking around, I realized none of this stuff could be bought at Target. We were out of the Big Box store mode. My children could see things from years past. It became a historical field trip! They each found a personal treasure for only $1.00, and I have to consider the added value of the environment.
Their grandmother bought an antique goose crate she'll use as an end table. You're definitely not going to find that at Target! It's really cool and an awesome example of living and thinking out of the box.
