So you need to make more money.


So you need to make more money.                                                                                                            You could go out and get a 2nd job working for someone else or you could start your own business.          

Becoming a flea marking vendor is as easy as 1 – 2 – 3.

    1. Find your local flea market and see what it takes to set up.
    2. Go into everyroom of your home with a box and put in everything you no longer want.
    3. Go to the flea market set up, and sell it!

I am not kidding about that being as easy as it is. That's how I got started about 5 years ago.


First finding your local flea market to get the details on setting up. Just go to Google and look it up 95% of the time all the information you need is there.

  • Try to find an established flea market close to home that is set up to operate every weekend
  • of a season. Established flea markets with good schedules will attract both vendors and shoppers. (more vendors = more shopper's so more shopper's = more money)

  • If it is a Saturday, Sunday flea market then you want to be there both days. If you can't be there both day's try to be there on Sunday!!!!! 95% of the time Sunday is the better money day!!!!!

  • If you are doing this only once or twice a season you will be best to pick week end's that are also the beginning of a month. People seem to have and spend more money the first 2 weekends of the month than they do the last 2 weekends.



Go into everyroom of your house with a box.

Just about EVERYTHING sells at a flea market. Dishes, clothing, TOYS, TOOLS, books, pots and pans, electronics, and Furnitures.

  • If you don't think you have enough ask your friends and family, for their unwanted items.

  • Go to the flea market set up, and sell it!


Set up, what that means is to set up the things on your table, don't just dump them on the table.

  • You want to make sure everything is clean and priced.

  • You will want to bring a table cloth and a dust rag.

  • You will want to make sure you bring money to make change with.


Well this is my easy 1 – 2 – 3 of starting out at the flea market. I will write more flea market common sense later. Please let me know if you liked this post, found it helpful. Thank you Lori Renee

chocolate peanut butter oatmeal cookies



It's cold today here in New Hampshire, so I decided to make some cookies.


These are Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal cookies that my mom and sister used to make all the time while I was growing up.












You will need 


2 cups Sugar
1 stick of butter
3 TBS cocoa cocoa
1/2 cup of milk




1tsp Vanilla 
1/2 cup Peanut Butter 
3 cups Quick oats








In a 4-quart sauce pan add the first 4 ingredients (Sugar, Butter, Cocoa, and Milk). 


Bring to a boil for 1 minutes.


Remove from heat and add last 3 ingredients (Vanilla, Peanut Butter, and Oats)




Mix all together and spoon on to wax paper.


This is a great treat and easy to make, ENJOY
