Sometimes fleas are a good thing. The Portland Flea For All is a perfect example of how to have fun with fleas..not the real ones, silly. The market ones! Here is the link for directions: http://portlandfleaforall.com/about-us/

I am so happy and proud to be a vendor in this wonderful new selling venue for artists, crafts people, vintage dealers and more. If you are looking for a fun way to spend an hour or two on any Saturday or Sunday, 10-5PM, stop by "The Flea" as we affectionately call it.

There is always some interesting music playing, warm people, bargains to be had, parking in a lot across the street couldn't be easier. Handicapped accessible. So much to see! No two days are ever exactly alike, as the many of the vendors change on a rotating basis. There is a retro, old fashion, down to earth feeling at the flea. No pretensions, just a lot nice of people selling wonderful things.

Erin and Nathaniel have a laid back, easy going managerial style that makes you want to please them. I am probably among the oldest of the vendors, and I have been treated with open arms and thoughtfulness. Having an active Etsy shop is not the same as meeting REAL people! I love it.

So far, I have sold for 3 weekends, and I love it! The customer base is increasing and the camaraderie among the staff and vendors couldn't be better!

As a special incentive to all my BLOG READERS: i WILL GIVE YOU 10% off YOUR FIRST purchase from me at the flea. Just mention my blog brought you in, and you save 10% off the top!

I offer all my customers, 20% off their second item. That offer is good at the moment, or when you come back. I will give you a special business card with the discount code on it.

I accept cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard and Discover.

All my work is satisfaction guaranteed.

My prices at the Flea are much lower than they are on Etsy. So if you are a New England-er, it may be worth the trip to Portland. You can always contact me here on my blog or send me an email to: lovesparis@maine.rr.com, if you are interested in a particular photo or piece of jewelry. You will save a lot of money on shipping and be able to purchase quality items for less!

So, "Hop on over, (pun intended) to The Flea" to see me, Erin and Nathaniel and all the wonderful vendors.

I promise, you won't be disappointed. Beach day? no problem, take a break and browse for a while in our breezy spacious area selling place.

Here are the list of vendors, http://portlandfleaforall.com/ourvendors/

Of course I am hoping that by now you all know my shop, Loves Paris Studio.

I will look forward to meeting you outside of cyberspace and inside "The Flea! "

"La vie a belle!" Life is beautiful! ...and FUN at the The Flea! Patti, Loves Paris Studio
