Flea Market at la Corte dei Miracoli in Venice...more pics!


We enjoyed the flea market at The Church of Miracles in Venice
 so much that we made our way back there on Sunday morning...
...all by ourselves! :)


As we rounded the corner and the flea market came into view...
I felt my heart flutter...


It seems no matter where in the world I happen to be...
...if I am under the sun, with tables full of treasures to discover...
I am happy and content!


So, without further chatter...
with my little old, pocket Canon SD600 in hand...
here is some of what I saw:










 Even, Mr. Flea found something he wanted...





































Oh my!






Oops!  There's Dad...
I think he's had enough flea market for the day...
...time to find a place to sit down and have a cappuccino 
and a chocolate croissant!

It was so much fun to visit this flea market in Venice...
...and now you have too!
:)

Thank you Walter, Daniela and Alfredo!

    Oh Laura,
    I can't think of a better place to visit a flea market. We must get back to Venice very soon. It is one of my most favourite and magical places of all.
    .....and what treasures....the white gloves, the chandelier wall sconce, the old letters, the white china butter dish, the old books, the perfume bottles....all of these things I can see being used behind those beautiful old shutters in Venice.
    How come I didn't see a flea market when we were there ? You are one lucky girl !! XXXX

    How did you ever find out about the flea market there? I have been so frustrated over the years trying to find locations and dates in foreign places? Do you have a great and accurate source for brocantes & fleas? Thank you so much for this fabulous post!

    Oh this made me dream! I love our brocantes here in Provence but this one seemed so fabulous! I saw something in nearly every photo that would have tempted me. Thank you for a charming post!

    It's been so fun seeing Italy through your eyes. I'm a sucker for a good flea market, and to visit one in Venice...be still my heart! I would have needed a big crate shipped home with all of my treasures! I hope you got a few for yourself!

    I am curious, how many boxes did you ship home? How many luggages pieces did you fill? How could you decide? The photos are wonderful. I feel like I was there with you, only I didn't get to buy.

    Oh.My.Goodness!
    Thank you for taking
    us along on your delicious
    romp through this lovely
    flea in Venice. My 16 year
    old loved Venice the most
    on a class trip to Italy last
    summer. I have only been
    to Rome, but can't wait to
    go back to Italy, some day.
    Now the big question: did
    you buy anything??

    Happy November

    xx Suzanne

    PS: Your dad looks so sweet.

    I know the feeling when you happen upon a flea market, three years ago I was in Germany, experienced the very same thing. However some of the vendors were not happy about me taking photos. It was interesting, I did get the photos I wanted, once I realized what was happening there. Thanks for sharing. Florence

    Can you tell me what month you visited the market? Leaving for Venice in a day and cannot find the market's schedule. Afraid it's not open during summer. Help?
