DAVIS FLEA! I found you!

{Quite by accident, but I found you all the same.}

Today while I was heading to Goodwill to drop off some clothes, I stumbled upon an array of tents filled with vintage treasures of all shapes and sizes. It was like a little mini Brooklyn Flea, tucked right into a hidden parking lot in Davis Square.

GOLD!, I thought to myself as I walked through each tent, I have found gold.

There is furniture and records, jewelry and books and posters, too. And also, today there was a really great band. AND A POPSICLE STAND. Which was {naturally} the coolest of all.

COME ONE, COME ALL:

Davis Flea
52 Holland Street
Davis Square
Somerville, MA

… take a left out of the T station, walk past Au Bon Pain and the Flea will be on your left!

P.S. That’s Abbie’s sister Dewey who runs the absolutely ADORABLE {and delicious} Real Pops popsicle stand! I’ve never even met Abbie in real life {only in blogland!}, but I knew that was her sister through following her on instagram so I creepily went up to her and introduced myself, which was strangely not weird AT ALL. Don’t you just love the internet?

  1. Isn’t the Flea so fun? I hadn’t been until Dewey started selling her pops there last fall, but now I love it! I’ve gotten some great jewelry, and it’s always fun to look at all the furniture. The Davis Flea is my new favorite!

    • It is my new favorite, too. Love how it’s intimate. And also how it’s so close to my house. :-D

  2. That looks like such a blast!! And meeting bloggers friends/sisters/etc through social media? Kind of the coolest part. xoxo

  3. i’m thinking i need to go?

    • It’s pretty great. Smaller than SOWA, but there’s some really awesome finds there. Plus, Davis Square is great.

      So, yes. You need to go!

  4. I want to go to there AND I WANT AN IPHONE 5!!!!!!

  5. I’ve been meaning to go there since I discovered it online a few weeks ago, but always forget about! Good to know it’s nice!

  6. This is so fun. I love that photo of Dewey.

  7. What what what?! Sounds like a hidden gem, I’ve never heard of this! Lots of records? Boy is always on the hunt for those and that will be a good selling point for a trip that way :)

    • Lots of records! Definitely make the trip! And if you go there’s a little shop in Davis called Magpie that I think you’d LOVE. :)
