First off, the name? Super catchy. “The Friday Flea” just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? Makes you think of weekend bargain hunting and that kinda quirky, “I found a totally unique thing!” feeling. And they’re not wrong to call themselves the “ultimate marketplace for awesome deals.” I mean, who *doesn’t* love a good deal, amirite?
What’s really grabbing me is that they’re offering a FREE venue for small businesses. Like, seriously? In this day and age, where everyone’s trying to nickel and dime you for *everything*, that’s a breath of fresh air. It’s like they’re actively trying to help out the little guy (or gal!). They said it themselves, so these small businesses don’t get lost in the “cornflakes of big commercial” places. Love it.
Now, okay, the website itself… well, let’s just say it *might* need a little TLC. I didn’t actually visit, but with how they were described, I think it is a bit messy. But hey, that kinda adds to the charm, right? It’s got that indie, DIY vibe. Plus, I read something about a “NEW LIST TODAY full of awesome treasures!” which, to be honest, makes me wanna go digging around to see what kinda crazy stuff people are selling. I bet you could find some real hidden gems there. Maybe even a vintage Furby in mint condition (a girl can dream!).
I also saw something about “frstyfrolk” and “ByLightOfMoon” – gotta assume those are Etsy shops or something? It’s all a bit… scattered. But that’s part of the fun! It’s like a digital treasure hunt.
Oh! And apparently, The Big E Flea Market’s having a show on February 28th, according to the information, and that’s awesome for those who are close by, I guess. It also says something about the Friday Flea Market Near Me with Vinyals Shop at 53 rue Jules Vallès 93400 Saint-Ouen PARIS FRANCE. I’d totally go if I was close by!
Honestly, I think it’s a really great idea. I mean, who knows what you might find on thefridayflea.com? Maybe your next favorite piece of art, a ridiculously cheap lamp that needs a little love, or just something totally random and amazing that you never knew you needed. I might even try selling some of my own crafty stuff on there one day. Who knows!
