And I had found that it once again expanded even more within the giant warehouse it occupies. It is quite easy to get lost in the maze of booths, but you're guaranteed a lot to look at along the way. Fleur de Flea is as much of an experience as it is a shopping spot. There are several midcentury modern furniture booths, as well as others selling all manner of art, jewelry, books, clothes, records, plants and more. On my most recent visit, I came away with a book of the script of a show I really love and a fun T-shirt. Fleur de Flea also sells cocktails and other drinks if you'd like to sip while you shop, and it's very pet friendly. You're likely to see a pup shopping alongside its owner, and Fleur de Flea's resident doggo can be found sitting on the counter by the cash registers. This is a spot that is becoming uniquely Louisville for me. I love it so!

Here there was plenty, and mostly priced a bit on the high side. They know what they have and are selling it for top dollar. It's still great to look around, there may be items that are a bargain, I just didn't see anything that would be "flea market" prices for me. All in all, the selection is great and fun to look at.

I went shopping a few weeks back with my 5 girls and some friends when we stopped into this shop. The building walking in will Give you big time nostalgia vibes. Lots of oldest clothing styles and vintage items to browse in this two level shop. The men's department is upstairs and the costume rental area is in the very rear. When back there be sure to look in the rafters for some old school child terrorizing animal mascot heads that are fun to check out. On our trip here my oldest found a 50s retro looking swim suit that she fell in love with. It was reasonably priced so we made the purchase. Overall a pretty cool shop that was fun to browse and brought a blast from the past feeling for me personally. Only strange thing was there was rack with an old uofl mascot hoodie my second oldest wanted but it wasn't priced yet so they simply said "not for sale".

I am an avid thrifter and I am sad to say that I was not impressed. Most of the clothing was older, outdated styles and the prices were quite high. Much of the clothing also appeared very-well worn, especially for the prices. The t-shirts were well-worn, stretched, or stained and priced at 9-10 dollars each!! We were interested in children's clothing for our new grandchild but quickly gave up on that idea as one would have needed hours to find appropriate sizes since the clothing was thrown on to tables haphazardly. This is not a thrift store that I would return to, but others may like the offerings. I read recently that the store may be closing, so if you are interested in checking it out, I would go sooner rather than later.

Saying that, I don't enjoy visiting as much as I used to. Many of my favorite shops have left for other venues and I miss the grab & go food options (butcher shop, cheeses, etc.). I appreciated the general check out area for the upstairs shops. None of them have large spaces and I felt more comfortable browsing without the shop owner being there. The clerk greeted us, welcomed us and explained they were there to help. Street parking is available and unless there's an event at the market, it's easy to find a nearby spot.

We attended the Noon Year's Eve for kids, and it was great to get out with them, where we could also find food and drink we wanted as well. LSM was Louisville's first food hall, and I know several have popped up since then, but I will always have a spot in my heart for LSM. Happy to see it's still a neighborhood treasure.

We stopped in yesterday after lunch and spent close to 45 minutes looking around. The store itself isn't huge but it's bigger than it looks from the outside and there is a great selection of things for sale. They seem to have everything from clothing to jewelry to accessories to matchbooks and even old Playboy magazines. I was very impressed with most of the prices that I saw because honestly they seemed pretty reasonable compared to what I typically see at vintage/thrift stores these days. They were even having a sale on swimsuits! The lady working was also friendly and offered her assistance but also left us alone to peruse which I always appreciate. Ultimately all we purchased yesterday was a mood ring but the kiddo is saving her money for clothes and wants to come back when she's ready to add to her wardrobe so we will definitely be in again. The Neon Flea is a nice addition to the neighborhood!

I partook of the Flea Off Market most recently at its annual indoor holiday bazaar, this year held at Mellwood Art Center. This included a couple of food trucks plus vendors set up throughout the two outside buildings at the art center. I also appreciate how well the Flea sets the mood for their markets, with DJs in each building and a bar where you can buy drinks. The Flea has always been more of an experience, where it's fun to shop and also to hang out. During this most recent market, I found several creative vendors that I wished I could buy from. I said to my friend who accompanied me, "I wish I had people cool enough on my Christmas list to buy some of these things for." Alas, I just had family on my list. ;-P Some of my favorite finds, though, included Georgia's Sweet Potato Pie Co. (also has a spot in the Highlands that's worth a visit!), SnoWhat, Eichen Design, FLY Girl Candles and Eden & Kissi (also has a physical location that you should go to in Buechel). I was also struck by the idea that I really need to make it a point to go to more of the Flea's outdoor markets next year so I can shop these great vendors not just at the holidays. Thanks for continuing to bring some wonderful weirdness to Louisville, Flea Off Market!
