We are so excited for our final Fleaology sale this season! We want you to get excited too! We are having our first giveaway.

Are you a FLEA Queen? If so, this crown is the perfect accessory for you!!!


As you know I love crowns, I love making them and I think this FLEA crown is just to fun.

We want one of our lucky FLEAOLOGists to win it.



This is what you need to do:

1) Become a follower. We want you to stay on top of our Fleaology events and you want to be in the know...right?

2) Leave us a comment. We want to hear from our friends what you thought about our little flea market this summer. Tell us a great find you got at the market, tell us who your favorite vendor is, tell us what you would like to see more of.. (vendors read this blog, so that would be super helpful). We want to hear from you.

3) We will have this giveaway open until Wednesday August 31st and on Thursday September 1st we will announce the winner of the crown. Even if you are not a Flea Queen enter for a friend or loved one............ I know you all know a Flea Queen. :)

4) Hopefully the winner will come visit us at Fleaology on SEPTEMBER 2 AND 3 to pick up the crown, but if you are out of state that is okay too!


That is all you have to do! (Remember you need to be a follower and leave a comment.) We are so excited to see all you FLEA Queens and now you have the chance to win a crown made just for you.

We have the most vendors yet for this show, I think we are at 26 and having to turn vendors away. We are going to have lots of great stuff.

I can't wait to see you there! Come say hi to us.

See you on Friday September 2!

xoxo Paula, Jennifer and Cathie



P.s. I just have to show you a picture of this fab cupboard I got
from my good friend Bruce who is a vendor at Fleaology. He always has great stuff at great prices but you need to come early!
P.s.s. I recently had a birthday and my sweet fellow Fleaologist Paula gave me these awesome letters! She knows it is my life motto and found them at a estate sale and thought of me. Thanks Paula, I love them!

This "disease" we love to catch. . . meet new dealer Julie!

When new flea.o.logy dealer Julie was little, she went to a flea market with her family in Germany.  She thought, "Why would anyone want to buy fleas?  Are they the kind of fleas that do tricks in the cartoons?"  When her family arrived she searched relentlessly for the fleas.  There simply weren't any there. . . .

However, there was lots of great stuff to see.  And hot potato salad and wiener schnitzel.   She believes that’s where she caught her disease.  Hoarding. 














Er. . . collecting, she meant to say. 





A decade ago, Julie met Kory Lloyd, someone she refers to as "the guru of junk."  "He taught me everything I would ever want to know about junk but was afraid to ask," she says.  "Now, I can’t pass a yard sale or a junk store without stopping.  If I see anything vintage pink or aqua, my car squeals to a stop. . . . When I go to a junk store and it is full of good stuff, I literally start shaking.  It’s like I getting too much of an antique fix at once - an overdose, if you will."



In her youth she was a tomboy who played basketball, baseball and football with her two brothers.  One day her mom bought her a Skipper doll.  She now has her own collection of vintage Barbies. . . and calls her company Lacey's Antique, Unique and Chic.





Julie's daughters help with cleaning, organizing and staging her treasures.  They'll be accompanying her to flea.o.logy, making it a family affair.  Julie is super excited to be a part of all the fun of both selling her wares and buying from the other dealers. 



Welcome to flea.o.logy, Julie. . . we hope you're contagious!
