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!

Thank you for all those photos; they are lovely! I hope you don't have too bad weather!AriadnefromGreece!
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
Thanks for sharing your trip with us - loved seeing all the pictures.
Oh, I have loved looking at these photos!! :) Just out of curiosity, what kinds of prices were on some of these items? Comparable to prices here? Thanks for sharing, can't wait to see the rest from your trip. :)
Wow...so much to see and LOVE!
Wow Laura, it seams that you really enjoy La Corte dei Miracoli eh!!! Came Back soon and i will take you In more Flea/Antiques Market!! W. the Antiques Lovers for few days still in Colorado
Thanks for sharing this great experience, I really have enjoyed today and yesterday's photos.
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!
I was just about to say OH MY! when your Oh My! popped up..
OH MY! is right...

Be still my heart ... yes please to the letters, top one dated 1950 from Texas !!! .... I hope you snatched those up ... know the spot exactly, what a surprise .. you just never know where the flea will turn up ... so glad you are having fun and good weather (at least that day) ... xo
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!

How in the world did you resist bringing home all of it?? Or at least an extra suitcase or two?? Love the pictures and wish I could go there, too.
Annette
So,just what did you buy. I'm certain there was something special that spoke right to you!
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.

Did you know that Sue over at Vintage Rescue Squad is looking for photos for her next calendar? She wants photos from flea markets and treasure hunts...your pictures are always so great, I'd love to see one (or two) next year in print!
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.
oh my!!!! You're so lucky!! Thanks for sharing - now I'm dreaming!:)
Oh my gosh. Is this wonderful. I take the green dishes, the little frames, the wooden cases, the lights, the jewellery. It looks like lot of fun. Wish I would have been there, too. Thanks for showing!
All the best, Steffi
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
so many good stuff xxtanja
Lovvve flea markets- so jealous! this one looks awesome! that beautiful chair or 120 euro really caught my eye :)

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?
