Vintage Glam Flea Market

So... I follow the Vintage Glam Blog pretty regularly! And I stumbled across not only her great classified section called the Flea Market but also a great giveaway from 1928 Jewelry.
I fell in love with multiple pieces of jewelry already from 1928 Jewelry and will definitely be visiting that site to possibly buy my wedding jewelry and bridesmaids jewelry from. 
The Flea Market is great for brides on a budget (like mwah!) or at least trying to stay on a budget (like mwah!). They currently have anything listed on the classifieds from a 1920s vintage cake topper to free martha stewart magazines. Check it out!
