Treasure Hunting has just gotten easier!

 

Maybe other bloggers

have already 

been blogging about

but just in case

you have not heard about it

I wanted to tell you

the exciting news!

Last September while Jenn and I

 were in Minneapolis

shopping the Junk Bonanza 

 for our little shop

Blue Cardinal Antiques & Vintage

(shameless plug, I know....)

 we ran into the famous 

Ki Nassauer  

(editor-in-chief of Flea Market Style )

at her annual extravaganza

 

She and her staff  

(to include her sweet son, Tyson on left below)

had us sign up 

to take part in their newest

business venture: 

What is FleaQuest?

It's an easy-to-use

online database

-- a nationwide directory --

of flea markets,  antique shops, 

vintage sales and markets,

and more.

 

So let's say you're planning a

road trip with your best friends

and you're going to be in 

Atlanta, GA

or 

a tiny town nearby

and you want to go

 treasure hunting. 

You can pull up

  FleaQuest 

and tell them you want

a listing of all shops or antiquing events 

in a 

5 - 10 - 25 or 50 mile radius 

of the area where you plan to be and

FleaQuest 

will give you active listings

within your search guidelines 

and a map with directions 

of whatever kind of venue

you are wanting to shop.

You will find reviews 

and store or event hours

and everything you need to know

to hit all the antiquing spots

within your area. 

It's just been formally introduced

and they are quickly building

their listings and database.

So if you own a shop,

or you are an active shopper that knows

of a great event or store not yet listed,

you may want to tell them to 

sign up!

Jump on the bandwagon.

Check it out.

Save it on your phone.

You just never know when it

may come in handy --- especially

when you can access it on the spot.

Genius.

Thanks Ki!
