FleaQuest is your guide to vintage shops
Vintage-abulous! FleaQuest is a national guide to the best vintage markets, architectural salvage centers, flea markets and more.
Name: Fleaquest.com
What it does: Allows travelers to get their shabby chic on no matter where they are.
What’s hot: You can search by state or from five to 50 miles within an American city. When I tested my hometown of Carlsbad, near San Diego, I was excited to find all sorts of vintage shops, specialty antique stores and flea markets I hadn’t heard of. You can even get a Google map and directions to their locations. I also searched travel destinations I was headed to — Truckee, Calif., and Charleston, S.C., and, sure enough, I had a list of shops ready for me to incorporate into my trip.
What’s not: Searching for events didn’t work for me. At first I thought it was just Road Trips & Events that wasn’t working, but then I selected other events, such as Flea Markets and Antique Shows, Vintage Occasional Sales, etc., and cleared everything so there were no state or date specifics and still nothing was found. It is still in Beta, so I’ll keep this website as one to watch.
